    CNET Review

    The Good: Wireless- or Ethernet-network ready; easy to set up; prints beautiful photographs.

    The Bad: Slow; expensive; plain-paper text is of middling quality.

    The Bottom Line: This well-designed, wireless-network inkjet handles all the printing needs of a very small office.
