Choosing printers scanners often means balancing low listed cost against a new-condition office machine and the workflow features that affect the documents you handle. This group makes the decision clear: there is one used Canon at the low end and three new HP OfficeJet Pro all-in-ones. Start by deciding whether you need occasional copy, scan, and fax tasks, repeated document handling, or a particular Instant Ink period named in a product title.
Quick take
The listed-price range creates a $234.99 spread across these four choices, so price is only one part of the decision. The Canon PIXMA MX452 concentrates on broad connection options and core all-in-one functions, but it is used. The HP choices are all new and divide more naturally by office workflow: the 9128e focuses on document feeder and automatic two-sided capabilities, the 8139e carries the longest Instant Ink period in its title, and the 9125e is the lower-priced new HP option.
Use the comparison below to set a spending boundary, then choose based on the feature that will matter every time you print or scan.

- HP OfficeJet Pro 8139e: Favor it when its stated 18.120-inch length, 13.290-inch width, and 9.170-inch height suit the intended desk space; its system requirements state that internet is required.
- HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e: Favor it for a new model with print, copy, scan, and fax functions; its title names a 3-month Instant Ink period.
Product notes
Canon PIXMA MX452
The Canon PIXMA MX452 is the pick for keeping the listed purchase price to USD 45.00 while retaining a copier, fax, and scanner in one machine. Wireless, Bluetooth, Ethernet, PictBridge, and USB 2.0 give it a notably broad mix of connection types. Its listed 1200x2400 dpi maximum resolution and 48-bit internal/24-bit external color depth are relevant for shoppers who print color documents or images alongside routine paperwork. The primary limitation is condition: this Canon is used. Its 9.7 ipm black print speed is another practical point to weigh when print jobs become frequent.
HP OfficeJet Pro 9128e
The HP OfficeJet Pro 9128e suits a small-office routine that includes multipage originals and two-sided pages. It is a new color inkjet all-in-one with a 35-sheet automatic document feeder, automatic two-sided printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. That combination gives it a clear role for presentations, brochures, and document batches rather than single occasional pages. Its title also includes 6 Months Free INK. One consideration is its HP+ status: if HP+ is selected during setup, the description specifies an HP account, ongoing internet connection, and Original HP Ink cartridges for the life of the printer.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8139e
The HP OfficeJet Pro 8139e is geared toward shoppers who want a new all-in-one whose title names 1 Full Year Instant Ink. It lists print, copy, scan, and fax functions, plus Ethernet and Hi-Speed USB 2.0 device and host connections. The stated dimensions provide a concrete desk-footprint reference without making it necessary to choose a larger office machine. Its tradeoff is straightforward: at USD 279.99, it carries the highest listed price in this comparison. Choose it when the named one-year Instant Ink period and its all-in-one function set are the priorities that justify that position.
HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e
At USD 99.99, the HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e is the lowest-priced new HP choice here. It specifies a 22 ppm black print speed and 512MB of memory, along with Ethernet and Hi-Speed USB 2.0 device and host connections. This gives shoppers a new office-oriented option without moving into the two higher listed-price OfficeJet models. The key limitation is in the title wording: it names 3 Months of Instant Ink, compared with the longer named periods attached to the other two HP models. That makes it best when the core machine specifications matter more than the named ink period.
Final picks by use case
- Choose the Canon PIXMA MX452 for the lowest listed price and a broad wired and wireless connection mix, provided a used printer fits the plan.
- Choose the HP OfficeJet Pro 9128e for automatic two-sided work and its 35-sheet automatic document feeder.
- Choose the HP OfficeJet Pro 8139e when the 1 Full Year Instant Ink wording in its title is the deciding factor.
- Choose the HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e for a new HP option with listed 22 ppm black printing and 512MB of memory.
