Advantages: Compact, Reliable, Easy to move around
Disadvantages: Only use for personal or home use

...a standard job. Being HP I havent had any major problems, and it was easy to set up to laptop and another home computer. The model is standard but this printer is always reliable and with 16ppm you are not always waiting around for prints if you are on the move. Overall a sound printer. ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent quick printing, photos just add icing on the cake
Disadvantages: Paper jams for drafts

Advantages: Excellent text
Disadvantages: No letter tray!

...on my previous experience of Canon printers - I opted for a Pixima with FINE technology.

Advantages: cheap, good for black ink, easy to buy cartridges, "low ink" warning
Disadvantages: annoying software, not so good for colour printing or high quality stuff

...this option from within the Lexmark options screen (via Control Panel), unless you like to hear "Printing started!" in chirpy American every time you press print. Usefully, it'll monitor ink levels and warn you when they get low, with a link to the supplier's website. I get good results generally with black ink, variable with colour (sometimes either the blue or red ink seems to 'cut out'). Occasionally pulls in the paper at a wonky angle, say 1 ... Read review
