All-in-one printers are an attractive prospect. Not only can you print with them, you can also scan, photocopy, fax and email documents without the need for separate machines, saving you space as well as money. They can be awkward devices though, with the façade of a home office utopia often crumbling to reveal a disappointing reality of sub par print and scanning quality – as well as other evidence of too many features spread too thin. This is especially true at the lower end of the market. You could easily get an all-in-one printer for around £60, but corners may have been cut in too many areas to make this purchase worthwhile.

Most all-in-one printers concern themselves with four main areas: printing, scanning, faxing and photocopying. The HP Photosmart Plus B210a adds web apps to this list. While almost every all-in-one can connect to your home network, this one supports third-party apps, giving you even more options for what to do with your photos. For example, the Snapfish icon lets you upload photos you've scanned to the Snapfish website, where you can edit and share them. You can also use Snapfish to transform photos into canvases, photo books, calendars and more. Other apps let you find and print articles from the internet without turning on your PC, and print out calendars, notepaper and even games. A press of the touchscreen gives you a sheet of Sudoku puzzles, for example. All the apps and other functio...
