Our Verdict
HP OfficeJet 250
Canon PIXMA TR4720/TR4722
The HP OfficeJet 250 is better if you need to work on the go, whereas the Canon PIXMA TR4720/TR4722 is better for casual photo printing. The HP yields many more pages at a much cheaper cost-per-print, and it has a battery so that you can still use it when you aren't near a power outlet. On the other hand, the Canon has a flatbed scanner with a higher scan resolution for more detailed scans and a built-in fax. It also supports automatic duplex printing and produces significantly better-looking photos.
