I'm so in love with today's deal, I want to bring it home to meet my parents.

Wow, was that terrible. I was going to go with the slightly raunchier, much funnier version of that line, but then I remembered this is a family blog. No Chris Rock-style material here; the best I can give you is Bob Saget.

Anyway, for a limited time, and while supplies last, GearXS.com has the Canon Pixma MG4220 wireless multifunction printer for $49.99, plus $12.99 for shipping. That's after applying coupon code CNET-40 at checkout (click Apply Discount … Read more

Hewlett-Packard has launched a new printer that can serve as a hot spot, though it's available only in India and China for now.

The HP Hotspot LaserJet Pro M1218nfs MFP lets up to eight people hop on to wirelessly connect their mobile devices to the Internet.

As a multifunction printer, the device comes with the usual print, copy, and scan features. It also offers several options for printing wirelessly, including Apple AirPrint, HP ePrint, and HP wireless direct. HP's Smart Install tries to ease the burden of installation by letting you set up the printer without the need … Read more

Need to print something? Copy something? Scan something? Aw, that's so cute and quaint.

But necessary, sometimes. And cheap, today.

For a limited time, Canon has the refurbished Pixma MG5320 multifunction printer and X Mark Mouse for $49.99 shipped.

I'll get to the printer in a minute -- because check out that mouse! It's not only a Bluetooth-powered wireless wheel mouse, but also a calculator and numeric keypad! As someone who was just bemoaning the lack of a keypad on his wee laptop, I'm loving that. It's available in black or white, and normally … Read more

We may be heading toward a paperless society, but we're not there yet. Everyone needs the occasional printed page, photocopy, and/or document scan.

But why spend big bucks for something you need only occasionally? If you have modest print/scan/copy needs, today's deal was tailor-made for you.

The Pixma packs an amazing feature set into its compact, 6 x 12 x 17.7-inch shell. … Read more

HP has taken the wraps off three new consumer printers, including an update to last year's mobile all-in-one.

The HP Officejet 150 Mobile is a refresh to the HP Officejet Mobile 100, a useful accessory that earned a 7.5/10 CNET Editors' rating back in 2011 for its flexible connectivity options, Bluetooth accessibility, and rechargeable battery. This time around, HP updates the mobile inkjet sidekick with quick scanning and copying directly to a compatible USB drive or memory card.

The printer's physical composition retains the same general clam shell design of its predecessor but adds a 2.… Read more

Before you spend any more money on ink for that old, rundown inkjet of yours, consider replacing it with a spiffy new multifunction printer--for not much more than you'd pay for a set of new ink cartridges.

Today only, and while supplies last, Amazon has the Epson Stylus NX530 multifunction printer for $59.99 shipped. Like all good printers, this one's wireless.

In other words, it connects via Wi-Fi to your home or office router, meaning you can place the stylus just about anywhere and use it from any network-connected PC (or Android or iOS device, thanks to … Read more

I own two printers. One's a laser, which I use for most of my everyday document printing. The other is a multifunction, which handles photos, copies, scanning, the rare items I need to print in color, and so on. I even send the occasional fax from it.

Like that setup? Then here's a pair of deals you'll love: Best Buy has the Brother MFC-J270w wireless multifunction printer for $49.99, while OfficeMax has the Samsung ML-1865W wireless laser printer for $49.99. You're on the hook for sales tax for both models.

As for shipping, Best … Read more

This will almost certainly sell out, but it was in stock as of 10:30 a.m. ET.

Regular Cheapskate readers know of my weird affection for multifunction printers, especially those of the Wi-Fi variety. There's just something magical about scanned and printed documents traveling wirelessly between PC and printer.

You'd think that kind of magic would cost a small fortune, but nuh-uh: Canon has the refurbished Pixma MX340 Wireless multifunction printer for $39.99 shipped.

This is a compact, entry-level model, one best suited to homes and very small offices. It prints (in color, of course) at … Read more

This is just nuts.

Wal-Mart has the HP Deskjet 1050 all-in-one printer for $20 shipped (plus sales tax in most states). Yes, the ink costs more than the printer. Yes, it comes without a USB cable. Should you buy one anyway? Yes!

Update: Sold out!

(Interestingly, Wal-Mart offered this same deal as a Black Friday doorbuster, which further reinforces my belief that Black Friday is a lot of hooey.)

As you may recall, it was just last week that I mentioned a Canon Pixma photo printer for $23 (now expired). That was just a printer. The Deskjet 1050 also scans … Read more
