Could sticker shock scare you away from HP's newest small-office solution? At first glance, you might wonder why the Officejet 7410 costs $499: Can't you find a combination color inkjet printer, flatbed scanner, and copier these days for about $100? OK, the Officejet also has fax functionality and an automatic document feeder for multipage jobs, but you'd still budget only $200 or $250 for such a peripheral, right?
As the ads say, wait, there's more. The 7410 comes with a photocopier-style second paper tray, boosting its capacity from 150 to 400 sheets between refills and giving you an easy way to switch between plain paper and letterhead or other special stock. A snap-on duplexer provides automatic double-sided printing. Ethernet as well as USB connectivity is standard -- and so is an 802.11g wireless adapter for easy sharing of all its features (not just printing) by notebook-toting coworkers or family members.
Speaking of family, home offices seeking a single printer for work and leisure -- or small businesses that depend on a digital camera for newsletter or Web-site images -- will find the HP is also a full-featured borderless photo printer, with flash-card slots, six-color ink support, and a 2.5-inch color LCD for selecting and tweaking pictures.
And finally, the Officejet offers excellent output at impressive, industrial-strength speed -- it's rated at up to 30 pages per minute in black and 20 ppm in color, and printed our test files faster than many color lasers we've tried. In short, despite the bundled photo-project software, this is no light-duty, consumer-level multifunction device: It's a premium peripheral with pretty much all the imaging power many offices need. (And if you're still uneasy about the price, you can subtract 802.11g and the second paper tray and get the model 7310 for $100 less.)
