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. |

PCWORLD.com Editors' review:
WHAT'S HOT: HP's PSC 2175 has added the same twist to the basic multifunction printer that it's added to many of its printers: flash-memory slots. The $200 MFP's four slots read CompactFlash, Memory Stick, SD, or Smart Media cards. With a memory card inserted, the PSC 2175 can print a proof sheet of thumbnails, each with a fill-in bubble. There are additional bubbles to select print and paper size, border type (if any), and single or double prints?but each choice applies to all the photos you're printing. The PSC 2175 scans the proof sheet for your marks, and then prints your selections. You can improve the quality of the photo prints by installing an optional $35 photo-ink cartridge.
WHAT'S NOT: The PSC 2175 scanned very slowly. At high resolution, it was the slowest scanner by far, taking over 2.5 minutes to scan a 2-by-2-inch color image, more than twice the average for ink jet MFPs we've tested. It scanned a text page at 300 dpi in 51 seconds (which was 46 percent slower than average). It performed better when scanning a 4-by-5-inch color photo at low resolution, but at 38.2 seconds was still 9 seconds slower than the test-set average. Though the PSC 2175's price is not high considering its flash-memory slots, this MFP doesn't fax. One minor annoyance: Because the output tray rests on top of the input tray, the narrow gap between them makes loading paper a little awkward. Unlike most other HP printers, the PSC 2175 won't let you prop up the output tray; if you want more room, you have to remove it.
WHAT ELSE: Print and copy speeds were about 20 percent faster than test-set averages overall. The PSC 2175 printed text at 4 ppm and color graphics at 0.6 ppm. Copy speeds were average. The printed text, however, looked a bit gray and slightly rough around the edges--good enough for ordinary use, but not as sharp as you might want for business correspondence.
The PSC 2175's lid slides up on its hinges for scanning or copying thick items such as books, but it doesn't come off to accommodate outsize documents. If you want to do a lot of scanning or copying, keep in mind that this MFP doesn't have an automatic document feeder.
UPSHOT: The PSC 2175 is a good choice for shutterbugs who want to print attractive photos and don't need a fax machine.
