Color graphics and photos exhibited accurate colors, though I found that copies of photos came out slightly blurry. It produced crisp, dark black text, which was clearly superior to the NX430's text quality. The Photosmart 5510's speed doesn't sacrifice quality. Regardless, its 2,400-dpi resolution scanned and copied documents that looked crisp and sharp, and this model can also send scans directly to a PC or a memory card. The standard flatbed scanner/copier measures 8.5 inches by 11.7 inches, but I was disappointed to find that the hardware omits a hinge that some may find necessary to scan thicker media such as books and multipage documents. Units higher up in the Photosmart and Officejet line include the ability to download a suite of apps designed to increase workflow and offer bite-size entertainment for easy printing directly through the display, but the use of such apps would require more screen real estate that would bump up the price well over the $100 mark. Since this is a $99 model, HP omits the ability to register the printer with the company's ePrintCenter app store online. For another, it can't print Web pages, although you can simply copy and paste the text into a document as a workaround. For one, the printer must be on and also connected to your network.

You can even navigate through the settings and change the e-mail address to an easier designation to give out to friends and family that you deem responsible enough to take control of your printer - you can take ownership of that in the control panel (Wireless > Web Services > Display Email) and it's supereasy to set up, but it comes with a few restrictions. In addition to Apple AirPrint, the 5510 also features HP's ePrint technology that lets you send jobs from any connected device to the printer using the uniquely assigned e-mail address.

Macs and PCs alike on CNET's lab network were able to see the printer without the need to install any additional software.

All it takes is a quick input of your network username and password details on the virtual QWERTY keyboard and the printer should immediately connect.

I tested the Wi-Fi connection process and found it simple to navigate through the initial setup screens with help from the instructions on the driver disc. Using AirPrint, you can print out a photo from your iPhoto library by simply choosing the connected printer and hitting Print. In addition to a direct USB connection (like most vendors, HP does not include a USB cable with the printer), you can set up the Photosmart 5510 on your network via Wi-Fi, which also lets Apple users make an easy connection through AirPrint on a compatible iOS device. Anyone not relegated to printing the occasional e-mail or plane ticket will likely prefer the extra 20 sheets you can fit in the Epson Stylus NX430. The paper input and output trays both sit on the bottom of the device, though the minimal 80-sheet paper capacity may frustrate you if you're a high-frequency printer.

In fact, the driver included on the installation disc doesn't even include an option for manual double-sided printing - a must-have for anyone interested in saving money on consumables or environmental conservation. It's no surprise that this $100 device doesn't include the extra flair of its pricier linemates, so you won't see features like an auto-document feeder or a duplexer on the back for double-sided printing. Additionally, HP makes choosing the right buttons a little easier by only illuminating the necessary options for each feature, as opposed to other panels that ask you to pick through a list of every available icon.

Most of the controls reside on the display itself, with virtual buttons on the right side that help with navigation and making onscreen selections. HP extends its touch-compatible display trend to the 5510 with a 2.4-inch color LCD positioned on the left of the device.

The Epson Stylus NX430 is still the smallest all-in-one printer, though, coming in a full 2 inches shorter. It measures 17.2 inches long by 5.8 inches tall and 12.8 inches wide, so it won't occupy your entire desktop like more full-fledged multifunctions. The Photosmart 5510 combines the functionality of a printer, scanner, and copier into a low-profile chassis finished in matte black that jells with HP's current design aesthetic.
