HP Officejet 4500 All-in-One Printer for $44.99 w/ FS

"Where it disappoints is in its higher-than-average cost per page and mediocre-quality photo prints."

"he Officejet 4500 Wireless uses only two cartridges—a black one, and a combined cyan/magenta/yellow—so when one color runs out, you must replace the entire color cartridge."

"HP sells both a standard ($14.99) and a large-capacity ($31.99) black cartridge, good for either 200 or 700 pages, respectively. That translates into a monochrome cost per page as low as 4.6 cents. The color cartridge ($28.99), good for 360 pages, is available in only one size and works out to a cost per page of 13.6 cents. That's par for the course among entry-level AIOs, but somewhat higher than more advanced inkjets."

"If photo printing is key to you, bypass this model, not only because of its mediocre photo output, but because it lacks memory-card slots or a PictBridge port. But if your printing, copying, and scanning needs revolve around text—and you won't print a whole lot each month—the Officejet 4500 Wireless could be an excellent match."
