- Brother MFC-685cw
- The Brother MFC-685CW is an inexpensive inkjet multifunction printer that jams a lot of features into a small space. Unfortunately, its middling print speeds and low-quality prints detract from its positive attributes.

- Canon ImageClass MF4270
- The Canon ImageClass MF4270 is a basic and inexpensive mono multifunction machine intended for individuals or small offices. Unlike the sleeker Samsung SCX-4500, this $299 Canon multifunction features office-friendly features including an automatic document feeder, networking, and a duplexer.

- Canon Pixma MP970
- The Canon Pixma MP970 is the 2007 refresh of last year's Pixma MP960. We were looking forward to a top-notch photo-oriented photo multifunction, as we've come to expect stellar quality from Canon, and we loved last year's version. Unfortunately, we were surprised to find slower task speeds and print quality...

- Canon Pixma MX700
- The Canon Pixma MX700 is a double threat of a multifunction inkjet, combining high-quality output with fast task speeds. Though it lacks some options that would make it even more compelling as an office workhorse--advanced fax features and a duplexer, to name two--when compared to other $200 office-oriented inkjet multifunctions...

- Samsung SCX-4500
- The Samsung SCX-4500 multifuntion printer does something few printers do--it turns heads. And at first glance, this glossy, piano-black laser printer is well priced, too: $300 is more in line with office-oriented inkjet multifunctions. Unfortunately, it quickly becomes clear that $300 is not really a bargain for this unit; the...

Despite being a member of HP's consumer Photosmart line, this $200 all-in-one inkjet offers features normally associated with office multifunctions, such as a built-in duplexer and networking, but lacks an important photo-oriented feature: a PictBridge port. It's also missing easily...
