AirPrint also warned us if a printer was low on ink or out of paper using a notification on the screen. By the way, you'll need iOS 4.2 or later to use AirPrint.ДЄirPrint had no problems identifying multiple printers and let us select the one we wanted. We didn't have problems with getting it to work on any of our five printers with an iOS 5 iPhone 4 and original iPad, even though we've previously had problems over our home network with other Apple technologies such as iTunes Home Sharing. Thankfully, the tech is streamlined, so AirPrint is fantastically easy to use.

Unlike many of Apple's other attempts at networking features, this works seamlessly in our experience - even if you've previously had a bad time with Wi-Fi printing, you shouldn't here.ДЄirPrint is a premium feature, so hasn't yet made it into cheaper printers - mainly because they don't have Wi-Fi.

It's quick and has snazzy specifications including a large 3.5-inch touchscreen, but the quality of the prints produced are poor for a printer set at such a haughty price point. While both can be used for photo printing, there are far better options available.ДЄt least the Brother has a low price on its side, meaning that the most disappointing printer on test for features is undoubtedly the HP Envy 110. Even during our photo paper and plain paper testing, this became an issue. However, the Brother and HP Envy 110 are the most limited for paper options, with only a single tray for paper. The mid-priced Epson Stylus Photo PX730WD and HP Photosmart 7510 also have the ability to handle two types of paper at the same time, since they include a smaller photo paper tray.

It's just a shame it's so expensive - ВЈ256 is a lot to pay for a printer, especially when there are some great options available for over ВЈ100 less. The Canon printer can scan negatives - great for those with old analogue photos to turn digital - and what's more, it's the only printer here to have a rear paper feeder, which is especially useful for juggling plain paper and photo paper. The other three can handle this increasingly common feature with ease. What the HP Envy 110 All-in-One or Brother printer can't do, however, is duplex printing for double-sided documents. Although the consumables are expensive, print speeds are absolutely fantastic. If you want to spend less and you're doing document printing mostly, the Brother DCP-J525W is a great deal. The HP Photosmart 7510 has the most comprehensive feature set for dealing with scanning documents, with an automatic document feeder (ADF), which means scanning or copying multi-page documents is a breeze. The Canon Pixma MG8250 and the Epson printer still have screens, but they use touch controls on the printer itself. HP has tried to add a bit of iOS magic to its printers with the machines' screens the touch is of a decent quality, but it's nowhere near as good as on your Apple device. The Brother's two-inch touchscreen display is a little basic, but functional. They all have 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity too, so you can print wirelessly from your computer as well as using the AirPrint feature to print from your iOS device.ДЄs you'll hear (or read), print quality varied largely in line with the number of ink tanks on the printer, although the five-tank HP Photosmart 7510 e-All-in-One competed well with the six-tank Epson Stylus Photo PX730WD.Д«oth of the HP printers have true touchscreens, as does the cheapest printer on test - the Brother DCP-J525W. All of our printers are designed with photo printing in mind, but can also scan documents as well as copy.
