Title: HP Photosmart C5280 Multifunction Printer
Pros: Inexpensive; great graphics and photo print quality; excellent color scan quality; can print on specially coated optical discs; dedicated photo paper tray; low print costs; Roxio Express Labeler software is easy to use; print quality on discs is good.
Cons: Text quality needs significant improvement; photo menus need to be reorganized to be more intuitive; can't produce scannable proof sheet; can't sort memory card contents by date; lacks a PictBridge port.
Summary: Its features set is oddly unbalanced, and better all-in-one inkjet options cost just a bit more, but the HP Photosmart C5280 is a good bet for casual home users on a tight budget.

Title: HP Photosmart C5280
Pros: Prints CDs and DVDs, easy control panel, lots of useful software and utilities
Cons: Text looks feathery on plain paper, on-screen manual thorough but disjointed
Verdict: The Photosmart C5280's mediocre speed and sparse connectivity options restrict it to a small or home office. Those users, however, will enjoy a highly capable, easy-to-use device with excellent photo output.

Title: HP Photosmart C5280 All-In-One Printer
Pros: Relatively fast. Scans, copies, e-mails through PC. Scans to memory card. Prints on printable optical discs.
Cons: No built-in fax. No automatic document feeder. Text quality is way below par.
Verdict: Clearly designed for home use, the HP Photosmart C5280 All-In-One does a good job with graphics and photo quality (but not text) and prints on optical discs.
Summary: The HP Photosmart C5280 All-In-One (AIO) can print on optical discs and scan directly to a memory card, but its text quality leaves something to be desired.

Summary: The HP Photosmart C5280 is a bargain of an inkjet multifunction at $150. Its task speeds aren't stellar, but they are acceptable for the average home user. It's better suited for graphics and photo printing than for text printing, though, so look elsewher

Title: HP Photosmart C5280
Verdict: When choosing an all-in-one printer for the home, you have plenty of options, and while the price, looks and some of the features of the C5280 may tempt many people, other competitors offer better performance in other key areas. The Canon wins for quality
Summary: Cheap, easy to use and quick. But the quality on offer lets it down.

Title: HP Photosmart C5280 | Our Review | TechRadar.com
Pros: Photo enhancement options; Good picture quality
Cons: Ink cartridges not supplied; Awkward direct printing
Verdict: As well as the standard A4 paper input tray, there's a neat secondary tray that can accept 6 x 4- or 7 x 5-inch photo paper. Better still, the tray is motorised, so it slots into place automatically when you're printing photos onto either size of paper
Summary: This is more of a home-office machine than the similar HP Officejet J5780
