No-frills printing and scanning

A good printer that is excellent value if you can buy it at the discount price

Wireless printing, copying and scanning for the home

Wireless connection; easy to maintain

Poor-quality colour on plain paper; expensive to run; slow

Although this device is cheap it's slow and and costs too much to run

Colourful prints from a big business name

Good quality prints ; small for colour laser ; reasonable speed ; easy to access toner cartridges ; very low asking price

Running costs higher than some rivals

A good entry-level colour laser with above average print quality and easy maintenance

HP's least expensive colour-screen printer/scanner

Low running costs for this price ; good quality prints ; reasonable speed

No cover for paper tray

Little to complain about in an all-in-one with colour display costing less than £50

Print, copy and scan - just not very quickly

Good looks ; well made ; decent photo quality ; fairly fast

Lacklustre text quality ; poor colour copy accuracy

The SX415 isn't a bad printer, scanner or copier, but its print performance doesn't stand out

Compact inkjet designed for photo printing

High quality photos ; compact ; fast draft mode ; CD/DVD printing

Slow 'Best Photo' mode prints ; no card reader

The Stylus Photo P50 produces quality photos, but only if you use the highest settings

Top quality prints, scans and copies

Great print quality ; separate ink tanks ; fast, excellent copy accuracy

Can be expensive to replace inks

Superb photo quality and fantastic text prints combine to make the MP540 a really impressive device

A decent multi-function printer with plenty of features, but best suited to small workgroups

The 1235cn offers a good range of features but is slow and expensive to run, making it best suited as a single-user printer or for small workgroups.

A relatively cheap colour-laser printer

Good speed for an entry-level laser ; much faster than an inkjet ; cheap for a colour laser ; good toner capacities

No cover for paper feed tray ; toner cartridges a bit awkward to change

A good, entry-level colour laser, but it's a bit inconvenient to have to close it up between prints

A wireless printer with a few nifty additions

Neat and easy to use ; document feeder and double-sided printing built-in

Sluggish ; expensive ink, particularly the black ; print quality average ; wireless setup a hassle

Slow print and expensive black ink mean this printer/scanner doesn't distinguish itself
