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

Can someone explain why HP have suddenly started putting a pathetically flimsy little plastic flip out arm - that barely holds 10 sheets of paper let alone the 15 it claims - on all their domestic printers ? They've finally started using seperate inks for each colour.

Couldn't have been easier to set up and connect to wifi. I bought it to print from my ipad, i downloaded eprint app and was printing easily within minutes of getting the printer out of the box.

Prints text at a good speed, scans and copies easily, not really tested photo quality as I never find any low to med quality inkjets suitable for reproducing photos good enough to hang on the wall. Wifi conection was reasonably easy to set up and coverage good.

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

A little noisy, but it doesn't seem to be hurting itself when it grinds a bit. It likes to bounce around some also, but stays on its stand. Print quality is excellent. Use a lighter bond paper, I use 20.

I actually got this printer as a Christmas gift and really liked the quality of the pictures printed and the ease of setting up and actually using the printer. However, the pick-up rollers stopped working about a year after I got it.

I bought this printer in a hurry as my other all in one had died (also an HP - 2yrs old). This printer worked fine for about 4 months and then everything went wrong. The cable went bad and kept crashing my laptop.

Couldn't decide between this and a slightly larger printer. However I am more than happy, the quality is amazing, ink refills are nice and cheap, it's very stylish and quiet, and I love the fact I can print wirelessly from phone or ipad !!!

does what it says; none

Printer is amazingly easy to setup with your wifi. No need to connect it to computer via cable like with some other devices and works absolutely amazing with air print when using your iPhone or iPad. My iMac and Macbook Air recognised printer straight away.
