Epson's Stylus Photo R1900 photo printer is great for scrapbookers who want to print with pigment ink or advanced photographers who want to print large but can't justify the expense of a pro-level printer.
HP Photosmart A626

The HP Photosmart A626 is supposed to bridge the gap between the A826 and the A526 snapshot printers by providing lots of features, good print quality, and decent print speeds, but it falls short on the last two counts.
HP Photosmart D5360

We can't recommend the HP Photosmart D5360 when the competition's all-in-one offers a lot more for the same price.
HP PhotoSmart A526

The HP Photosmart A526 snapshot printer is meant to be simple and easy to use, but we found it simplified to a fault. There aren't enough options in standalone mode, and it's not as fast as the competition.
