Designed primarily for home use, without office-centric features like faxing or an automatic document feeder, the HP Photosmart 5520 e-All-in-One ($129.99 direct) is a different kind of multifunction printer. On the one hand it offers a low-end set of features in many ways. Its paper capacity is a meager 80 sheets for example. On the other hand, it offers a slew of features— from Wi-Fi to direct printing from iOS and Android devices— that are anything but low end. The result is a printer that's basic in some ways, highly sophisticated in others, and well worth considering for home use or for the dual role of home and light-duty home office printer. The 5520 seems inspired by the same underlying design philosophy as the office-centric HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One ($149.99 direct, 3.5 stars) that I recently reviewed. This is certainly true to the extent that both take a pass on a lot of common extras like an Ethernet connector while offering lots of less common extras. For examp...

The HP Photosmart 5520 e-All-in-One is aimed primarily at home use, but offers some sophisticated features, like printing through the cloud, that are anything but basic.

Touch-screen control panel; Wi-Fi; Prints through the cloud; Duplexes (prints on both sides of a page)

No Ethernet connector; No PictBridge support

A good addition to a home looking for a smart, fun, easy to use and affordable printer.

Ease of use; Quality prints; Creative offerings

Lack of photo software; Ink costs; Small paper tray

Fast, easy to set up and boasting a wide array of mobile printing options, the HP Photosmart 5520 ($109) has the makings of a great all-in-one printer. A built-in touch screen makes this device a cinch to use, and the 5520 supports Apple's AirPrint as well as a printing app for phones and tablets...

Easy setup; Huge number of printing options; Fast wireless printing speed; Relatively inexpensive ink cartridges

Images and text appear grainy on regular paper; Overly bright photos; Very loud when loading paper

The HP Photosmart 5520 e-All-in-One is an incremental update to the HP Photosmart 5510 multifunction printer. The 5520 also features Web connectivity via Hewlett-Packard's ePrint technology, which lets you send jobs from any connected device using a uniquely assigned e-mail address. Of course, there's also direct connectivity available through USB, and all forthcoming printers are compatible with Apple AirPrint so you can print wirelessly from an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch.

The HP Photosmart 5520 e-All-in-One delivers ePrint and AirPrint compatibility for just $100.

A nice touchscreen interface and a delicious price tag helps make the HP Photosmart 5520 e-All-in-One a contender, and its low running costs won't hurt either. Its performance is solid rather than stunning though.

The HP Photosmart 5520 is an inexpensive multifunction printer that offers built-in duplexing, a touch panel and ePrint capabilities. It also provides reliable and good looking output but it lacks an automatic document feeder and the scanner lid hinge does not float to accomodate thicker items.

Affordable initial cost & ink; Wireless ePrint capabilities; Built-in duplexing; Very good output quality

Scanner lid hinge does not float; No automatic document feeder

Bonne imprimante. Setup facile. Sans fil fonctionne très bien et possible d'imprimer à partir d'un courriel HP (très pratique pour le travail). Les enfants aiment bien la possibilité d'aller imprimer des dessins à dessiner directement à partir de l'imprimante. Je la recommande.

HP's mainstream, home all-in-one printer has just been updated to the Photosmart 5520, by the addition of a duplex print engine and improved wireless printing, for a range of mobile devices. It manages to combine a low-profile design with a good feature set and an impressive turn of speed.

60mm touchscreen with touch buttons; AirPrint and Android App support; Good running costs for budget printer

Messy paper stop design; Awkward memory card slot; Paper tray restricted to 80 sheets

I bought this printer because I wanted the copy and scan function. I gave my old Canon printer to my daughter. Which is still working great by the way. This printer won't feed paper no matter what you try. Tried every brand of paper with no change.

Compact

Paper feed is not reliable; Tried different paper, cleaned it mutiple times; Nothing works; The ink level indicator is not reliable; It tells you there is plenty of ink when there is not.
