Best all-in-one printers (inkjet)

(Updated February 9, 2012 8:45 AM PST)
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.

Epson WorkForce 845 All-in-One Printer

Though it's slightly more expensive than competing inkjet workhorses, we recommend the Epson WorkForce 845 for its refined design and Epson's Connect cloud-printing portfolio.

Lexmark Platinum Pro905

The Lexmark Platinum Pro 905 is a fully capable all-in-one business device, but its touch screen might throw a wrench in your workflow. The Smart Solutions widgets add virtual customization to the control panel, but we wish Lexmark had retained a few hard buttons as well. As the top dog in the Lexmark printer family, the Platinum Pro 905 does the job, but the HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless does it better.
