I have a small desk and that's one reason I picked the Deskjet 5740.  Both paper trays fold up neatly when not in use, making this one of the most compact printers I've ever used.

My #1 concern was text print quality as I do a lot of correspondence and not that much color photo printing.  With inkjet paper (my favorite everyday paper is HP's Bright White Inkjet which goes for $8 for 500 sheets), the results are outstanding.  Text is crisp and black... it looks right out of a laser printer!

The Mac OS X drivers are top notch! It can handle inkjet Avery labels, card stock, envelopes, transparencies, and premium photo paper. Plus it gives you full control over ink density, color balance, and ColorSync (Be sure to download the latest printer drivers from HP's website as the CD was a little out of date).

And when you use glossy photo paper, the color photos are just like film.  Really outstanding photo printing from HP's "home office" Deskjet line.  It can also use the special "Photo" ink cartridge as well as the standard "TriColor" cartridge.  The 5740 also accepts HP's jumbo sized black and tri-color cartridges, which are double the size of a normal cartridge at a much better price.

You can't get a better printer for $99!

I love this printer.  It fits in my computer bag along with my lap top.  It is very portable, easy to hook up.  The print quality is excellent.

This is quite possibly the best non-industrial photo printer you can buy.  The print quality on regular copy paper is considerably above average, but the print quality is amazingly good on photo paper.  The fact that you can print 13-inch, borderless images is also a definite plus.  It's fast and very very quiet.  It's sleek-looking and the trays fold up nicely and conveniently for trasportation and to save space around your work area.

The negatives only arise due to what the printer was designed for.  It's a little bulky, but that's to be expected from a printer that prints tabloid-size pages.  And it uses 8 ink cartridges (standard CMYK plus green, red, photo cyan and photo magenta) instead of the standard 4, but that's also to be expected from a printer that creates magnificent quality prints.

Overall, a superb printer.  Highly recommended.

I wanted a compact printer that just did the basics.  I was delighted to get this one, print quality is good, but it occasionally does some very weird things.

This gorgeous-looking photo printer has a compact footprint.  It wasn't difficult to setup, although the entire process itself took about 40  minutes for me because one has to individually install 5 ink cartridges (4 colored, 1 black) and do some printhead calibration, etc.  Once setup, the printer works nicely on both my Windows and Mac computers.

The print quality is fine, and a typical print job finishes in about 20 seconds, which is a bit slow but not too shabby for this category of printer.

I like that the 5-color individual ink tank system allows you to replace only the ink tank that runs out, although I have to see how things actually work out with heavier use.

I've been using this for about a month now for my small business. The quality and speed are wonderful. It's quiet and prints black like a laser printer. The quality is THAT good. The color is on par with the best Epson photo printers and excels when using high-end, glossy super-bright HP paper. The photo quality with the optional photo inks is amazing. Even with the standard inks the photo print quality is superb. Installation is super easy and can be completed by even a novice with HP's "Quick Start" sheet included with the printer. XP loved it and recognized with no problem.

My only complaint is the paper tray only holds 100 sheets and the paper path is curved so is not ideal for some adhesive-backed labels and form types and for thicker stock. Some grabbing has happened. But overall it is an excellent printer fully at home with everything from full-color graphics (I do graphics design) to more mundane black text-based forms, letters and invoices. I love it. Small and low profile too. I HATE the stupid sticker that HP puts on the lid that DOES NOT come off with anything that won't damage the glossy plastic finish. Don't advertise to me on something I already bought and PLEASE make that sticker removable. It's really ugly. Other than that it's great.

This printer delivers good home or small office quality in an easy to use package. Once unboxed, this printer was connected wirelessly to my network in just two or three minutes. Other computers easily connected via wi-fi. Print quality is good enough for home use and most small office users. Time will tell on the toner life.

I was a little suprised on the footprint of this printer as compared to the HL-2140 I was replacing - it's quite a bit larger (and heavier). It did force me to slightly alter where I placed the printer.

Update (07/13/2015)

Still loving this printer. Using the 'starter' toner cartridges I got a toner low warning on the black cartridge about 700 pages in. I reset the status via a method from the web and was able to continue using the same cartridge for an additional 1000 pages (1700 pages).

The yellow cartridge ran out around 1500 pages. The cyan and magenta cartridges are still going strong.

There are so many reviews already that I won't go into much detail. I agree with the positive reviews about this printer. Don't expect photo lab quality and you won't be disappointed. Think more like old color inkjet printer quality and you'll be pleasantly surprised. When it's all said and done, it's still a Polaroid picture and who doesn't love those. If size is an issue for you, then I'd strongly recommend that you bust out that ruler and cut a piece of paper to the dimensions of 2"x3" and decide if that'll work for you.

This is a well built, extremely compact and affordable little printer capable of producing photo booth quality 2"x3" prints. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in such a handy little gadget.

I read the reviews and did my research. I am very happy with the print quality, using any brand inkjet photo paper. I am a little confused as to why anyone would expect a cable to be included, never seen that one before. Anyone I show the prints to, from this machine, are amazed that they were not done at the local photo shop. I have recommended this printer to others, and have received many thanks for their experiences with this unit as well.

There is nothing bad to say about this printer.  The print quality is exceptional....even photos print exactly like they would from a photo lab.  This unit is easy to use and the wireless capability makes it very convenient.

This little Epson is a nice compact wireless printer. Set up is simple - I was able to link my Windows 8 laptop easily (used the download from the Epson website, but there is an included CD)

However, I could not link my Surface2 tablet or my Windows phone because Epson does not have a Windows app. Disappointing, especially side Epson advertises that this printer is compatible with "tablets and smartphones."

This Epson folds up to minimize dust infiltration.  It has a nice paper holding capacity (100 sheets). It is an ink-jet, so, while Epson advertises that you'll reload ink less because of individual ink cartridges (nice feature for an ink jet), the printer still slurps ink. Hungrily.

Print quality is good on both copier paper & photo paper. This machine does not print 2-sided. There is no document feeder. I have not scanned directly to Facebook, so cannot comment on this feature.  Scanning to my laptop is simple & from there I use my virtual fax number to send faxes.

The color LCD on the printer face is a nice feature and big enough for those who have trouble seeing smaller print. Epson has eliminated displayed faxing features (number buttons), and I personally am happy these buttons are gone.

Is this printer worth looking at? If you want a compact printer that can link to your desktop, laptop, non-Windows tablet & non-Windows smartphone, and don't need a document feeder, this is a printer to consider.  As with all ink jet printers, it does slurp ink, so calculate ink cartridge replacement cost into your budget.

I have a small home office and do a reasonable amount of printing in the average day. I have always used inkjet printers up to now because laser units were just too big. The HP Color Laser Jet Pro MFP M277dw filled my needs exactly with a footprint that nearly matched my outgoing inkjet.

The printer is fast, quiet and produces page after page of great looking office output. It is WiFi and Ethernet connectable and is iPv6 compatible. Scanning, faxing and copying multiple pages works great with the sheet feeder.  The duplex feature actually works and  The software allows you to store incoming work to be printed at a later time. The ability to print via Bluetooth is also a nice feature.

The printer is versatile and highly customizable. The print quality for text and saturated color is excellent. The quality for pictures, a little less so, although it is still good.

All things considered, this is a great little home office machine.

This is a compact and fast little printer.  I use Windows XP Pro, and the setup was practically instantaneous; I've never seen setup instructions with no words, just diagrams, before, but it worked flawlessly first time.
The construction is reasonably robust -- not too plasticky.  The footprint is about 18" by 9" with the feed racks pulled in, but realistically you need about 18" wide by at least 10-12" deep -- the front rack, which gathers the paper, can stick off the table OK.  The footprint is 18" by 18" with both racks pulled out.  The cartridges snapped in perfectly; everything worked fine immediately.  The paper feed is not finicky at all and aligned the paper perfectly.
The only criticism I have is simply that this is an inkjet and so without special paper (and even with) it's just not as precise as a laser.  I printed out a couple of text pages: the text looked solid and black until I got up fairly close.  There was just a tiny hint of fuzz on the diagonals, when I squinted, and a magnifying glass confirmed what I thought I saw -- the line is a little blurry.
The colour is strong and clear, and as precise as the black.
A couple of other points to note: the installation process will make this your default printer.  That may well be what you want (it wasn't, for me), but if not then don't forget to go back and reset the system default via Start -> Printers.  And secondly, note that Amazon also sells this with a USB cable for just one more dollar; this model doesn't have the cable, so get the other one if you don't have a cable to hand.  Search for Z705 if you can't find the other one.
This is a great inkjet printer; for the price, this is as good as you're going to get.

It's compact for dorm living which is pretty much the reason I bought it, fits/stores perfectly and there's no problem with the printer

The CP-10 is a great little printer that prints a outstanding quality wallet photo without a hitch.  The difference between bordered and borderless prints is that borderless prints a somewhat zoomed version of what your image display window shows so you may experience "head chopping" unless you learn to frame your shots with a little more border around objects.  You must be very careful when loading paper so as not to touch the printing surface or a finger print will show up in the finished product.  I was surprised at how much detail can be had on a credit card sized photo and find this to be a nice alternative to printing larger more costly images when this size will produce a compact result that serves many purposes.  Portability is the key here and I use this with a powershot S110 so in two pockets you have a complete photo system on the go.  With optional 12 volt auto adapter you can have instant mobile prints.  It does not interface with a PC so you must print direct from digicam making a larger capacity media card a good addition if shooting away from the printer.
