HP Deskjet 6980dt Color Inkjet Printer

review

By M. David Stone

Whether you're looking for a high-end home printer, an ink jet that's suitable for sharing in a home office or small office, or one that you can use as a personal printer in any size office, the HP Deskjet 6980dt color ink jet printer ($179.99 direct) is a strong candidate. It's a little slow for the price, but it's packed with features, including a PictBridge connector so you can print directly from PictBridge-enabled cameras, both wired and 802.11g wireless network connections for sharing on a home or office network, and far better paper handling than most ink jets.
