Reviews of the Dell All In One Inkjet Printer
-
CNET Review
The Good: Includes fax and ADF; PictBridge port can be used to connect USB flash drives; 24/7 tech support; lots of add-on options, including networking, paper tray, and duplexer; great scan quality and speed.
The Bad: Subpar print quality; limited features for photo printing; ink system not ideal for good photo prints; no Mac support.
The Bottom Line: The Dell Photo All-in-One Printer 966 lacks a lot of the photo-printing features that make a photo all-in-one compelling, but it throws in some office-oriented features. We say skip all the confusion and spend your money on a better all-in-one printer.
