Cheap, easy to use and quick. But the quality on offer lets it down.

A workgroup printing workhorse that delivers classy mono and colour print quality

A decent 20in widescreen LCD for the office, with a flexible stand and USB hub. But it is expensive.

With average image quality and a lack of up-to-date features, we can’t recommend the LP2465.

Easy to use, and with space for a second SATA disk, but it struggles with small files and is overpriced for the features.

Superlative quality is let down by slow scan times and unintuitive driver software.

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

HP crashes the 30" party with the most versatile display on the market.

Good photo quality and a large touchscreen make this the A4 inkjet to buy.

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

The quality of this diminutive cutie is almost as good as the high-end models, but the price means a compromise on both speed and features.

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

HP is adamant that the digital home of the future (and now for that matter) has a midi-tower PC in it next to the TV.

Digital photography is gaining in popularity, and the features offered by the HP PhotoSmart 2710 are designed to cater to this: PictBridge, a large colour screen and on-printer photo editing. The HP is the most expensive machine here, but isn't geared to one particular market or another.

The PhotoSmart 8150 boasts Compact Flash Type I and II, SmartMedia, Secure Digital, MultiMedia Card, Memory Stick, xD, USB flash drive support as well as PictBridge and an optional Bluetooth adaptor. Such a wide range of supported formats should leave you hassle free when it comes to plugging in and printing off those precious moments you've stored on your camera or other device.

With a fantastically designed GUI, 35mm negative scanning attachment and gallery storage with a thumbnail view, this unit is hard to fault.

At first glance, HP's latest product could be mistaken for an oversized, landscape-orientated photo frame, or even a fancy document holder. But the Scanjet 4670 is, of course, a scanner, the like of which you've probably not seen before. The 4670 defies traditional categorisation, because while it relies on familiar scanning mechanics, they're employed in an unusual fashion.

Another contender for an award this month, this model narrowly missed out, with a marginally below average value rating

The absolute epitome of 'feature-packed', the number of inclusions on this unit floored us. Its whopping 162 point feature score is over one-and-a-half times the average point score and comes on the back of its big feature line up.

The Photosmart 7960 is HP's flagship photo inkjet and comes with the new Photoret Pro engine. It's a development of Photoret IV, and a fourth cartridge containing three grey inks has been added too. The 7960 can print 4,097 shades of grey - ideal for black-and-white photographs.
