All Multifunction Devices

The Bottom Line: HP tries to offer the most basic users an inexpensive all-in-one with the Photosmart C4280 multifunction printer, but we find that for roughly the same price, you can get an all-in-one with more compelling features and better print quality.

Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 1200 dpi

The Bottom Line: The Samsung CLX-3160FN isn't the best or fastest multifunction printer, but it offers a good value for small offices and work groups with basic needs.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Laser, 600 x 1200 dpi, None

The Bottom Line: The EasyShare 5300 printer is Kodak's attempt at creating an easy-to-use, inexpensive all-in-one machine, but we think the company went too far and dumbed it down to where it lacks many of the features that the competition offers.

Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet

The Bottom Line: The low price of the HP Officejet J5780 makes up for some drawbacks, including slow print speeds and lackluster text prints. We recommend spending a little more for the competition from Canon.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 2400 x 4800 dpi

The Bottom Line: The Canon ImageClass MP4690 multifunction laser printer offers work groups a lot of bang for the buck, but the Dell 1815dn offers nearly the same feature set and faster prints at the same price.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Laser, 600 x 1200 dpi

The Bottom Line: With its wealth of office-oriented features, fast prints, and great print quality, the HP Officejet Pro L7680 is a very compelling all-in-one for small businesses or work groups. We wholeheartedly recommend it.

The Bottom Line: The HP Photosmart C6180 all-in-one tries to be everything to everyone, and ultimately it fails to meet this lofty goal. It's a good printer at a decent price, however, for the home user who wants to consolidate all tasks into one machine.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 4800 x 4800 dpi

The Bottom Line: The Xerox Phaser 6115MFP/N has the potential to be a great printer, but it falls short in the end. Still, it does some things right, and has a generous feature set. Stock up on patience before using this multifunction laser printer.
