CNET Editors' Review
The good: Strong software features; good print quality and top-notch grayscale scans; easy to use.
The bad: Slow print and scan speeds; no PC faxing.
The bottom line: HP's OfficeJet 6110 offers quality printing, copying, and scanning services for the small office, but it may disappoint those who depend on faxing.
The OfficeJet 6110's output quality was similarly mixed. On grayscale scans, it wowed us by capturing subtle gradations in shades and showing precise detail. Its color scans have smooth textures and shading and accurate colors with no mysterious detritus, although they lose a degree of detail. The copier also printed black ink and color copies that are difficult to distinguish from the originals. But prints made on ordinary 20-lb. photocopy paper didn't look so great. Printed text had a shadow or fuzzy outline, and color images looked somewhat washed out and had rough textures. Coated inkjet paper improved both text and image print quality, yet we were disappointed with the results on glossy photo paper, which showed good detail but came out dark with patchy colors. Ink costs, based on CNET's cartridge drain tests, run 4.1 cents for a page of black text and 19.9 cents for a lightly covered page of color graphics--average for an inkjet.

Which printer is right for me?
Choosing the right printer can be a daunting task. There are several different types of printing technology to choose from, each suited for different needs. Printers come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny travel companions to workgroup workhorses; some are geared toward photographers, others are for multitaskers. And the many specifications for resolution and speed can be misleading. As a rule of thumb, inkjet printers are a must for long-lasting photos, while laser printers are best to produce speedy text documents. We've compiled a handful of typical user experiences that should help outline what type of printer is right for you. Chances are, you'll fall somewhere in between two or more of these archetypes, so carefully consider what you'll be using your new printer for.
