Our Verdict

HP DeskJet 3755/3772

Canon PIXMA TS6420a

The HP DeskJet 3755/3772 and the Canon PIXMA TS6420a are both inkjet printers, but the Canon is better overall. The Canon prints a lot more pages, especially in color, giving it a much lower cost-per-print. It means you'll save more money in the long run, even though the Canon printer's cartridges cost more. Also, it prints much nicer-looking photos, and it prints borderless. On the other hand, the HP is much more compact and has a sheetfed scanner. However, it can only scan one page at a time, so it isn't any faster than using the Canon's flatbed scanner.
