HP Photosmart C5280 Multifunction Printer
The HP Photosmart C5280 is a bargain of an inkjet multifunction at $150. Its task speeds aren't stellar, but they are acceptable for the average home user. It's better suited for graphics and photo printing than for text printing, though, so look ...
Its features set is oddly unbalanced, and better all-in-one inkjet options cost just a bit more, but the HP Photosmart C5280 is a good bet for casual home users on a tight budget.

HP Photosmart C5280 Multifunction Printer review
Its features set is oddly unbalanced, and better all-in-one inkjet options cost just a bit more, but the HP Photosmart C5280 is a good bet for casual home users on a tight budget.
Inexpensive; great graphics and photo print quality; excellent color scan quality; can print on specially coated optical discs; dedicated photo paper tray; low print costs; Roxio Express Labeler software is easy to use; print quality on discs is good.
Text quality needs significant improvement ; photo menus need to be reorganized to be more intuitive ; can't produce scannable proof sheet ; can't sort memory card contents by date ; lacks a PictBridge port

Relatively fast. Scans, copies, e-mails through PC. Scans to memory card. Prints on printable optical discs.
No built-in fax. No automatic document feeder. Text quality is way below par.
Clearly designed for home use, the HP Photosmart C5280 All-In-One does a good job with graphics and photo quality (but not text) and prints on optical discs.
Like some other HP printers and AIOs—including all recent Photosmart AIOs...

Everytime I print, it tell me I have a paper jam, when I don't. I hit the OK button and it prints fine. This is veeeerrrrryyyy frustrating
