For home use, we generally warn our clients to stay away from the HP all-in-one printers. They’re very popular and can be found in most retail stores that carry any form of electronics, but they are very problematic. While each user’s experiences vary, the HP all-in-ones are typically more difficult to use and always install a great deal of software which adds to their complexity. We also suggest avoiding Lexmark printers. Our best recommendation is anything in the Epson and Brother lines. Epson’s primary business is printers and scanners and they’re exceedingly good at making these devices.
For office use, we actually do recommend the HP business class laser printers. They’re more expensive but definitely worth the investment.
