Canon Pixma MX330
The Canon Pixma MX330 doesn't produce the best quality prints, but you won't find a more versatile printer in the sub-$200 category. An auto-document feeder, 1.8-inch LCD screen, and easy-to-use features make it an excellent choice for creative homes on a budget.

HP Color LaserJet CP2025n
Although the HP CP2025n is rather slow to print black documents and is missing supplementary features, the colour laser shines in output quality, and the software holds your hand through a somewhat daunting learning curve.
