Our Verdict

Canon PIXMA TS202

HP DeskJet 2755e [2723e, 2742e, 2752e]​

While the Canon PIXMA TS202 and HP DeskJet 2755e are both budget printers, the Canon is the better choice overall. The Canon is a print-only model without wireless connectivity options. The Canon has much better color accuracy, so you can print the occasional photo at home, and its black and color document quality is also much better. However, you can expect to replace the ink cartridge frequently if you print a lot, as each cartridge has a very low page yield. By contrast, the HP is an all-in-one model offering a flatbed scanner and wireless connectivity. However, it performs quite poorly overall. Its scan and print quality is mediocre, and its cost-per-print is worse than the Canon printer's. If you need a cheap all-in-one, much better options are available around the same price, like the Canon PIXMA MG3620.
