The printer is one of those items that you rarely think about until it fails. That's too bad considering it is one of the most important computer peripherals. Without your printer you have no access to hard copies of important information. This guide will help you invest in the best one for you.

Printers come in all shapes and sizes and can be simple one trick ponies or a smorgasbord of utilities rolled into an amazing all in one machine. Because users have hundreds of different needs there are just as many types of printers. We'll cover the best in printers for the home and office, the best portables, all in ones and photo printers. This Bright Hub compilation taps the best minds in the computer hardware community for their take on the printer's that make the most sense for you.

Take a bit of time to compare the various models discussed and then go see one in person. Let us guide you to a place you feel comfortable, maybe pick out one or two models that hold your interest, then take them for a test run. There are always a few intangibles that will sway your personal opinion whether it be the smooth print spooling or the crisp print quality, maybe just the sound (or lack thereof) that soothes you. If you find that this guide is lacking, let us know, but if it isn't and it helps you choose a printer let us know that, too.
