Microsoft Windows XP Professional Inkjet Printers

The Bottom Line: HP's basic Deskjet D2660 inkjet has a fold-up paper tray and a unique paper corral that make it easy to store away. We noticed several flaws in the output quality, but if you don't expect too much in terms of photo output, this $50 inkjet will make an excellent at-home printer for intermittent use.

The Bottom Line: HP markets the Officejet H470wbt to the mobile business professional, but it chose aesthetics over performance. The sleek design and cost-effective cartridges give its rating a slight boost, but the degradation of print quality from the previous model is definitely a deal breaker.

The Bottom Line: The HP Photosmart A626 is supposed to bridge the gap between the A826 and the A526 snapshot printers by providing lots of features, good print quality, and decent print speeds, but it falls short on the last two counts.

Specs: Compact photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, 3.9 in x 11.8 in, 3.95 in x 5.9 in, 5.12 in x 7.1 in, Wired, 0.6 min/page, 0.9 min/page, 1.3 min/page, PC, Mac, USB

The Bottom Line: We can't recommend the HP Photosmart D5360 when the competition's all-in-one offers a lot more for the same price.

Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 32 pages/min, 24 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB

The Bottom Line: The HP Photosmart A526 snapshot printer is meant to be simple and easy to use, but we found it simplified to a fault. There aren't enough options in standalone mode, and it's not as fast as the competition.

Specs: Compact photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Wired, 0.6 min/page, 1.3 min/page, PC, Mac, USB

The Bottom Line: The HP Photosmart A826 snapshot printer offers an attractive design, is easy and fun to use, and works better without a PC than any other snapshot printer we've reviewed thanks to its huge touch screen, but we wonder who will spend $250 for a dedicated photo printer.

The Bottom Line: The HP Photosmart D7460 offers compelling features--including a touch screen--for home users, but the competition offers better print quality.

Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, Wireless, 34 pages/min, 33 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB, 802.11g, Ethernet

The Bottom Line: The HP Deskjet D4260 is a good choice for home users looking for a basic printer that's good enough for projects like school reports, but that won't break the bank.
