HP Deskjet F4480

HP's Deskjet F4480 multifunction inkjet printer is about as basic as a multifunction device can get. It can be used to print, scan and photocopy, but it only performs text printing with aplomb. It's a loud and has a small paper handling capacity. It is suited to users who only have to print every so often.
