Our Verdict

Brother MFC-J1010DW

Canon PIXMA TS302a

The Brother MFC-J1010DW is better than the Canon PIXMA TS302a overall. The Brother has higher page yields and lower maintenance requirements, and it prints better-quality documents. It also comes with a flatbed scanner that produces excellent-quality scans. The Canon is better at photo printing, however, so it's the better choice if you print a lot of photos at home.
