When your home office needs a printer that also scans and copies, the real decision isn't which brand-it's which mix of speed, image quality, connectivity, and price fits your daily tasks. The options here run from a low-priced Canon PIXMA to a higher-priced open-box Canon PIXMA, with an HP tank printer in between. The main trade-offs boil down to how often you print, how much photo quality matters, and what you're willing to spend.
Quick take
- Canon PIXMA TS3722: the low-cost entry point for compact home printing.
- Canon PIXMA TS6420a: a step up with all-in-one duties.
- Hewlett Packard Smart Tank 6001: the tank-based model with included HP ink and faster black text.
- Canon PIXMA MX922: the image-focused model with high-resolution output.

Product notes
Canon PIXMA TS6420a Wireless Inkjet All-In-One Color Printer Black
This new Canon sits between the lower-priced TS3722 and the higher-priced MX922. At USD 69.95, it keeps the 16-bit color depth of the entry model while adding Bluetooth to the wireless connection, and the feature list includes copier and scanner. The 4 ppm black speed is modest, so it is only a minor step up for speed. Its real appeal is a second connection path without a big price jump, making it a comfortable choice if your desk lacks strong Wi-Fi and you want a Bluetooth option.
Canon PIXMA MX922 Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer - NEVER USED
The MX922 is the photo-oriented outlier here, with a listed price of USD 350.00 and an open-box condition described as never used. It offers the deepest color depth of the group at 48-bit, along with a maximum print resolution of 9600 x 2400 DPI and a scanner resolution of 2400 x 4800 DPI. Wireless connectivity and copier/scanner features are there, too. The limitation is the cost and condition: you are paying far above the other three and accepting an open-box unit, even if the title says it was never used. For image-heavy projects, though, this is the only model that goes beyond 24-bit color depth.

For USD 35.20, the TS3722 is the easiest way into the group. It uses a compact design with a hybrid ink system: pigment black for sharp text and dye-based colors for vivid photos up to 8.5 x 14 inches. It handles photo paper, envelopes, banners, and more, and the feature set includes a scanner. Connectivity is wireless, and color depth is 16-bit. The trade-off is that 16-bit depth handles everyday documents but trails the MX922's 48-bit depth for photo scans. If most of your output is text and casual images, this is a very low-cost fit.
Hewlett Packard Smart Tank 6001 Wireless Inkjet All-in-One Printer (2H0B9A
At USD 199.99, the Smart Tank 6001 is the high-capacity ink option. It comes with up to two years of Original HP ink in the box, and black print speed is 12 ppm-substantially faster than the 4 ppm on the TS6420a. Features include scanner, copier, duplex printing, and networkability, with connectivity covering wireless, Bluetooth, HP Jetdirect, and USB 2.0. That makes it the most flexible wired/wireless setup in the group. The limitation sits on the image side: 24-bit color depth is below the MX922's 48-bit, so it is better for everyday color documents than for gallery-style photo prints.
