The HP PSC 1315 provides adequate photo-quality prints and document printouts, as well as very good scanning capabilities. It has an attractive price tag, and a PictBridge port, but lacks separate print cartridges for each colour.

We recommend this unit for anyone who wants an all-in-one imaging unit for the office or the home. Its print and scan quality are excellent and the inclusion of a memory card reader is very convenient.

A great all-rounder for those on a budget.

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.

The PIXMA has features that are very useful in a small office environment, such as a relatively large paper handling capacity, an automatic duplex unit and an automatic document feeder. It's also fast and quiet.

A compact machine that produces some nice images but has minor quality problems in other areas.

The Phaser 7300N would suit a large workgroup that demands quick printing and flawless text.

For offices that need a colour laser to do everything but make the morning coffee, the C762n is an extremely versatile choice.

Sleek and low-priced, the LaserJet 2550L seems promising for small offices, but its speed and print quality aren't stellar.

The HP Color LaserJet 3550n delivers decent print quality, especially for black-and-white documents, but it is both expensive and quite slow.

The Dell Laser Printer 5100cn is fast and should be an economical choice for a workgroup that plows through paper, but its image quality could have been better.

If blistering print speed is crucial--particularly if you're looking to make regular use of the lower quality settings--you'll find this a stunning printer.
