The Canon Pixma MP960 Photo All-In-One ($399.99 direct) is what I tend to call a “photo lab AIO.” You can use it as a printer, scanner, and standalone copier, but unlike office-centric all-in-ones (AIOs), it cant fax and doesnt have an automatic document feeder (ADF) for multipage documents. Instead, the MP960 offers 35mm film scanning […]

Some people call them multi-function printers (MFPs). Others call them all-in-ones (AIOs)—our preferred term. By either name, theyre the cost- and space-saving solution for any office that needs a printer, copier, and some combination of a scanner, standalone fax machine, e-mail sender, and more. But with every manufacturer free to mix and match the features […]

The Canon Pixma MP600 Photo All-In-One printer ($199.99 direct) proves that Canon sees no reason to mess with a successful formula. Modeled closely on last years Editors Choice Pixma MP500—which it replaces in Canons line—the MP600 costs the same as the MP500 did originally and offers the same all-in-one (AIO) features and strengths, only more […]

Lexmark color lasers have a good track record in earning Editors Choice nods, so I was looking forward to getting my hands on the Lexmark C534dn ($999 direct). Sure enough, it lives up to expectations, delivering great-looking output at high speed. Even better, it offers the right paper-handling features for its target market of small […]

Some things just sound too good to be true. For example: a $300 color laser. Surely at that price there must be something seriously wrong with it: impossibly slow speeds, poor output quality, an astronomically high cost per page, or… something. Right? Well, no. The HP Color LaserJet 1600 ($299.99 direct) is our new Editors […]

Are you tired of dad complaining he cant print out his racing scores, or mom wishing she could just print that one adorable family picture? Or maybe youre mulling over the perfect gift for the soon-to-be graduate in your life. Whichever it is, an all-in-one printer can satisfy all your gift needs. The first thing […]

Despite the allure of the color laser, the network monochrome laser printer remains the leading choice for businesses. More precisely, its the preferred choice for businesses that print thousands of pages per month and require one or more printers that have built-in Ethernet cards, duplexers, 35– to 50–page-per-minute ratings, and 1,000-page or better input capacity. […]

I keep hearing that WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is too weak a security scheme for wireless networks, but Im not prepared to throw out my old access point and card to buy new ones with better security. Recognizing that WEP is imperfect, how can I best take advantage of whatever security WEP provides my home […]
