  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.

  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.

• 

  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.

  It isn't cheap compared to standard printers, but the Canon Pixma iP100 has the highest resolution available in the mobile printer market and prints at an impressive speed to boot. If you simply must have a printer with you at all times, the iP100 should be the do-it-all at your side.

  HP Photosmart A826

  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.
