Practical, tested walkthroughs for printer setup, drivers and error-code fixes — updated for the latest models and operating systems.
The OfficeJet Pro 9015e is faster with a bigger tray and cheaper per page on a subscription. The PIXMA TR8620a prints better photos and takes up less desk. Here is how to choose.
The ET-2800 is the cheap, simple entry into cartridge-free printing. The G7020 costs more but adds an ADF, fax, auto duplex and far more paper capacity.
The ENVY 6055e adds automatic duplex and dual-band Wi-Fi for a small premium, and those two features remove most of the reasons people get frustrated with the DeskJet.
The HL-L2350DW is the cheap, reliable home laser. The M404dn is faster, tougher and built for volume. The deciding factor is how many pages you really print each month.
The two mainstream refillable tank printers, compared properly: the ET-2800 is the cheapest way into bottled ink, the Smart Tank 7301 adds an ADF, auto duplex and a much bigger paper tray.
Two sub-$120 home all-in-ones with very different ink strategies: Canon's five-tank system for photos, Epson's four-cartridge setup for cheaper documents.
Brother's workhorse mono laser against HP's faster, heavier LaserJet Pro. Speed, duplex scanning, toner economics and the failure modes that decide it.
Epson's pigment-ink WorkForce Pro against HP's Instant Ink-oriented OfficeJet Pro. The ink model, not the hardware, is what really separates them.
Brother's long-running budget mono laser against its 2024 replacement. Faster hardware and a new toner line, but a firmware policy that changes the calculation.
Both are Canon MegaTank all-in-ones with bottled ink, but one is a dye-ink home machine and the other a pigment-ink business printer. That difference decides everything.
Two EcoTanks at similar prices with opposite priorities: the ET-2850 adds automatic duplex, the ET-4800 adds an ADF and fax. You cannot have both.
Brother's compact colour laser against OKI's digital LED workhorse. One is cheaper to buy and easier to support; the other prints heavier media faster.
