Quick Verdict
If you need one machine for everyday print, scan, copy, and fax jobs, the HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 is the more practical starting point. The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF710 is a large format inkjet printer aimed at professional color work, but these two printers are separated by only $9.01 on the listed price, so cost is not the deciding factor. The key is whether you want a ready-to-run all-in-one or a dedicated large format unit with a very different condition.

Where Each Product Wins
The HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 wins for office versatility. It lists a 22 ppm black print speed, a 4800 x 1200 DPI maximum resolution, and 512 MB memory. Wireless, Ethernet (RJ-11 and RJ-45), and USB 2.0 connectivity make it easy to fit into a shared workspace. The integrated scanner, copier, fax, and duplex printing turn it into a complete document station.
The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF710 wins for large format focus. It is described as a professional large format printer with color output and inkjet technology. The Canon imagePROGRAF product line signals a purpose-built wide format tool, which is useful if your priority is oversized prints rather than everyday office tasks.
Product Notes
HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 Wide Format All-in-One Printer - White
The HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 combines printing, scanning, copying, and faxing in one unit, making it a strong fit for home offices and small teams. It lists a 22 ppm black print speed and 4800 x 1200 DPI resolution, so everyday documents should be crisp. Connectivity includes wireless, Ethernet (RJ-11 and RJ-45), and USB 2.0, offering several ways to connect. The listing condition is open box, so the unit is not brand new in a sealed package. If you are comfortable with an open-box purchase, this all-in-one delivers a wide range of document handling for the price.
Canon imagePROGRAF iPF710 Wide Format Printer
The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF710 is a large format inkjet printer designed for color output. It comes from the Canon imagePROGRAF product line and is positioned as a professional wide format machine. The listing, however, explicitly marks it as "for parts or not working," so it is not a ready-to-use printer. You would need repair expertise or a service plan to get it functional. If you are prepared to bring it back to life, the iPF710 offers an entry point into a Canon large format printer. Without that preparation, it is not a practical choice for immediate printing.
Final Choice by Use Case
- For a ready-to-use office workhorse: Go with the HP OfficeJet Pro 7740. It gives you print, scan, copy, and fax capabilities.
- For a large format repair project: Go with the Canon imagePROGRAF iPF710 if you have the skills to restore a non-working unit and want a professional wide format printer.
