Important Printer Buying Tip: ALWAYS check for the ink cartridge prices before you purchase a printer. Why? Sometimes cheaper printers end up costing more because its ink cartridges may be way expensive. You should calculate the "cost of ownership" per month. The math is simple: (number of prints per month) times (cost of the cartridge) divided by (the yield of the cartridge). Yield is the number of pages that can be printed with one particular cartridge. For example, assume that average home user prints 150 black pages per month using a black cartridge that yields 200 pages and costs $28. The monthly "cost of ownership" is (150 pages) x ($28) = $21 200 pages Also look at the printer ink alternatives; besides the original manufacturer's cartridges (OEMs), you may have the selection of remanufactured cartridges, compatible ink cartridges, and ink refill kits. |

PCMAG.com Editors' review:
Among personal all-in-ones (which we define as any inexpensive AIO that lacks a network port), the Canon imageClass MF5550 ($500 street) is unusual in that it provides a built-in fax modem, a 50-sheet ADF, and even a network option. And it's one of the few in its class that offers good to excellent output quality across the board. This combination makes the MF5550 one of the better choices in personal monochrome laser AIOs.
The MF-5550 has a businesslike look, following the basic design of a scanner mounted on top of a printer with a gap between the two for printer output. The front panel includes an LCD-based menu system and a numeric keypad for faxing. Its 19.1- by 18.1- inch footprint makes it small enough to fit on a desk, but the 20-inch height may be a little imposing.
Setup is typical for an AIO that connects via USB 2.0. We were surprised to find no utility for giving copy commands from the computer and no fax driver to let you fax by printing to the driver. But the setup program installs Presto! PageManager, a document management program, which lets you scan a document and then drag the icon for the scanned file to a fax icon.
The MF5550 is a GDI printer, processing its print jobs at the computer. On our performance tests (using QualityLogic's testing software and equipment, it turned in respectable speeds but was slower than what we expected from its 19-page-per-minute (ppm) engine. For the two Adobe Acrobat files, for example, it took 38 and 37 seconds, compared with 28 and 27 seconds for the 19-ppm Panasonic Panafax UF-9000. And for the 50-page Microsoft Word text file, it took 2 minutes 59 seconds, a rate of less than 17 ppm. Still, the MF5550's total time for the business applications suite was a respectable 9:01.
The MF5550's output quality was excellent for text, with well over half of the fonts we test with easily readable at 4 points. We rated both its photo quality and its graphics quality as good, which puts it among the best for inexpensive monochrome laser printers and AIOS. In fact, the MF5550's overall quality rating is higher than for any other monochrome laser printer or AIO we have tested to date. And if output quality, rather than performance, is your primary concern, the MF5550's output and its features may well make it the AIO that belongs on your desk.
