What to consider Know what you want your printer to do If you want a great printer to perform a specific task, make sure you're shopping for specifically that. Very few "all-in-one" printers are truly great at everything.
Budget The cost of the printer isn't the only thing you need to know about upfront. Make sure you see the cost of ink as well. Our Picks Whether you’ve fully embraced the work-from-home life or you’ve leaned into a more hybrid schedule, you know no home office is complete without a dependable printer.
Not sure which printer to choose? CNET is here to help you find the best printer for your needs. I've been testing this latest crop of printers for a while now, with dozens of printers running at the same time. It gets a little noisy, but with each printer I test, the field narrows, leading to the best overall.
Those are the ones we're listing here. Every printer we've tested below can manage basic printing needs. For example, they can handle mobile printing and wireless printing from a phone or any PC , Mac or Chromebook , which is a must when it comes to office printers.
They can also print over a cabled connection and via wireless printer connectivity. (Note that some, but not all, printers support Apple's AirPrint and Google's Cloud Print protocols, which are usually less onerous than the printer vendo.
