The eye-catching Lexmark E240n lets you print good-looking text (but dark graphics) easily from anywhere on your network.

As far as budget printers go, the Stylus C110 isn’t the worst. Unfortunately, given its poor build quality and disappointing printing results, its price is too high. This printer may be suited for those who desire quick printing at a relatively low price.

The PIXMA MP630 is little more than a refresh of the MP610 with no changes other than slower print times. While it still has some merit, this unit isn't up to the regular Canon quality level.

Although the only major issue with the LaserJet M1522n is its scanning functionality, there are numerous small niggles that make it a largely unimpressive device. Print speeds are some of the fastest in its class, but an expensive price point is unlikely to entice potential buyers.

Even if you're looking for a cheap-as-chips multifunction, the F2280 isn't necessarily a compelling choice. It's slow and noisy, and text quality isn't that great. However, if you need a cheap solution for printing the odd photo then this unit does the trick.

While the initial outlay on the CAMEDIA P-10 is inexpensive, its running costs are higher than many Kodak and Canon printers and its print quality is not as good. However, it is a very neat unit, so if you're looking for something that won't take up to much space on your desk or bookshelf, then it could be right for you.

If you need a dirt cheap multifunction to scan and print the homework that’s due tomorrow, then the X2650 may be up your alley. But for everyone who expects at least average quality from their devices, keep moving.

This versatile unit is a good combination printer for office documents and high-quality photos, as long as you don't mind less-than-perfect plain paper output.

The Brother MFC-9420CN offers most of the functions you'd want in an all-in-one, but its design often gets in the way. We'd trade some of its admirable speed for better print quality and ease of use.

Faster, better-quality monochrome laser MFPs than the LaserJet 3030 are available.

One of the slowest printers we've reviewed, it took over half an hour to print a photo-quality shot. Great image quality doesn't make up for its design flaws.

While the Lexmark P315 is easy enough to use, it is mediocre in every other area.
