  HP Deskjet F4280 All-in-One

  The HP Deskjet F4280 is an affordable printer for students and home users as it does a pretty good job of printing. However, if you also need a scanner that does a top job then this all-in-one printer is not for you.

  HP Deskjet D4360 Colour Inkjet Printer

  The Deskjet D4360 justifies its asking price nicely. At the same time, you do get exactly what you pay for.

  HP Deskjet D2560

  A bare bones desktop printer with a minimum of features and accessories, the HP Deskjet D2560 is really only suitable for printing basic black and white pages. Don't trust it with your photographs.

• 

  Lexmark X4650

  Students on a budget should consider the X4650, but only against the vast raft of other MFDs on the market.

• 

  Kodak ESP 5 All-in-One Printer

  Kodak sells the ESP 5 on its cheap printing capabilities. Sadly, in this context, cheap equals not very good.

• 

  Canon Selphy CP770

  The Canon Selphy CP770 is a neat, little dye-sublimation printer that includes a bucket for easy travel, but the battery pack which would make it totally portable is not included.

  Oi!: Turn your photos into a movie

  You can now make Picture Movie DVDs at your local Kodak printing kiosk.

• 

  Brother MFC-7440N

  The Brother MFC-7440N prints quickly and is fairly inexpensive to sustain, but we simply can't get behind a printer with poor quality graphics, significant hardware defects, and a boring design.

  The HP Photosmart A826 snapshot printer offers an attractive design, is easy and fun to use, and works better without a PC than any other snapshot printer we've reviewed thanks to its huge touch screen, but we wonder who will spend AU$400 for a dedicated photo printer.
