It’s a relatively slow, light-duty machine (as a printer, its duty cycle is a modest 1,000 pages per month), with a skimpy 100-sheet paper tray for input (and a mere 50 sheets of output, face up on the same tray). To be sure, you shouldn’t expect the $149 HP to be as feature-packed as a $250 multifunction like the twice-as-big Canon MultiPass F20, let alone a $400 or $500 model or one with fax as well as printing, scanning, and copying capabilities.

A combination of top-panel buttons and software drivers make it simple to use, and it’s quiet enough not to be a bother on your desktop. But the HP is the smallest, cutest all-in-one yet - with its front paper tray closed, it looks for all the world like a breadbox or toaster oven (16.8 by 10.2 by 6.7 inches), and a rear recess for its power and USB cables means you can place it almost flush against a wall. The PSC 1210 is far from the first flatbed scanner/copier/printer to tempt consumers, nor even the first to reach the low price of $149. Increasingly, however, the question is: Why would a family put just a printer next to the home PC, when a multifunction inkjet can give them a handy home-office copier and snapshot or magazine-page scanner as well? Especially when it’s as compact and friendly as the new HP PSC 1210?
There’s no question that today’s color inkjet printers are cheap (at least to purchase, though replacement ink cartridges remain shockingly expensive), or that they produce great-looking pages.
