- OKI B2520
- The Oki B2520 MPF looks like a compelling package at first glance, offering up all the features you'd associate with a multifunction laser printer--print, copy, scan, and fax--plus a couple unexpected extras at a low price. Don't be lured by its song, however; the user interface is clunky, the user...

- Kodak EasyShare 5500 All-in-One printer
- In its attempt to do everything, the $300 Kodak EasyShare 5500 All-in-One printer fails to do any one thing well. To use some features of this multifunction inkjet is an exercise in frustration; other features, such as photo editing, are entirely lacking (instead, you have to turn to your PC...
