Best all in one printers (inkjet)

(Nov 13, 2009)

Sometimes you need more than a printer, and adding a scanner, a copier, and a fax machine can turn your home printing center into a bona fide home office. But you know what they say about all work and no play; remember a multifunction inkjet printer will also give you great photos for your albums and scrapbooks.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless

The HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless makes a convincing inkjet argument for offices with a high volume of prints. With a function touch screen, multiple networking options, and an astoundingly fast print speed, it makes perfect sense to give this workhorse an Editors' Choice award.

Price: $232.97 - $488.00 (check prices)

Lexmark X7675 Pro

Aside from a few design hang-ups and a slower than average output speed, the Lexmark X7675 Professional all-in-one printer is a cut above other multifunctional printers. Its excellent quality prints, easy-to-set-up wireless connectivity, and generous five-year warranty catapult it to the top of our list of favorites.

Canon Pixma MP980

The Canon Pixma MP980 multifunction printer, copier, and scanner are a step up from its predecessor, but the print quality isn't up to standard and it doesn't perform as quickly as the competition. The HP Photosmart Premium Fax all-in-one is a less expensive alternative that adds value with a fax machine and faster, higher quality output.

Price: $194.99 - $269.99 (check prices)
