Under 11 lbs Multifunction Devices

The Bottom Line: We like the simplicity of the HP Officejet 6000 single-function inkjet printer. The print quality meets HP's high standards, and it outputs full color photos at an impressive rate, but its lack of an LCD screen takes some getting used to. Nevertheless, the HP Officjet 6000 performed well and earns our recommendation as a great single-function printer.

The Bottom Line: The Lexmark X3550 is a middle-of-the-road multifunction printer with an affordable starting price and reasonable ink refill costs. Photo prints leave something to be desired, but it performs the rest of its tasks acceptably well.

The Bottom Line: The HP F380 is for users who need to print, scan, or copy only occasionally and who still prefer to develop print photos in retail stores. You'll get more features and comparable performance from other budget all-in-ones, such as the Epson Stylus CX4800 or the Lexmark X3350.

The Bottom Line: Lexmark simplifies this easy-on-the-eyes multifunction so that it won't confuse you, but can you trade ease of use for quality?

Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 1200 x 2400 dpi

Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet

The Bottom Line: The Dell 922 is an affordable multifunction that excels at copying, scanning, and managing images, but small-office users can do better.
