Packed with features like network capability and transparency scanning, it also has the best scanner by far, with great print quality too.

With a lightning-fast scanner and high-quality photo printing, it’s only hampered by speed and running costs. CD printing and transparency scanning are bonuses, though.

The MP500 is a great all-rounder. It’s capable of excellent print quality at high speeds, plus CD printing, has an automatic duplex module and a tempting price.

Print, scan, copy and fax with one single device. We put 10 all-in-ones through their paces.

An excellent all-in-one, particularly when it comes to photo quality, but it’s possible to get more features elsewhere.

Capable of reproducing good photos, but it’s slow, a bit expensive to run and has a poor scanner.

Cheap to buy and run, the X5470 is great for mono printing, but less so for photos and images.

While HP’s strength in photo printing is once again proved, mono prints take too long and the scanner is poor.
