Budget shopping tips: Printers

Shopping for a budget printer doesn't have to be an exercise in anger management and self-abasement. Contrary to the stigma, many printers can produce great-quality photos and documents without breaking the bank or eating up expensive consumables.

Reviews

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 CP1215

The Color LaserJet CP1215 is HP's entry-level printer built to serve small workgroups, but it suffers from frustratingly slow print speeds, a missing LCD screen, and other problems.
Canon Pixma MP630

The Pixma MP630 is a good all-round multifunction printer, without winning a best-in-class prize for any one feature.
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.
D-Link DGL-4500 GamerLounge Xtreme N Gaming Router

The D-Link DGL-4500 GamerLounge Xtreme N Gaming Router almost succeeds for home networking and hardcore gamers.
Canon Pixma MP460

The Canon Pixma MP460 is a minor update to the MP450. We still like its print quality but were disappointed by its scans. Still, it's one of our top choices for a photo-centric budget all-in-one.
HP Photosmart D7160

If you're looking for a good, all-around printer for the home, the HP Photosmart D7160 is a decent choice. But if your focus is on photographs, you can do better for just a little more cash.
HP Photosmart C5180

The HP Photosmart C5180 is a perfectly acceptable photo all-in-one, but you can get more features and faster print speeds for the same amount of money.
