At A Glance

The OfficeJet Pro 276dw is expensive, but it's a Cadillac among inkjet MFPs—fast and capable—and a bargain compared to the laser competition.

The HP Envy 120 e-All-in-One is for those who do only a little printing and a little scanning, but who want to do it in style.

The Epson Expression Home XP-410 Small-in-One will suffice for light home/student use. The print quality is surprisingly good, but ironically, the pricey inks mean you shouldn't buy this machine unless you don't print much.
