Guys...please help me out...:confused::confused::confused:
The HP site is so confusing...there are so many Photosmart printers..
Print speed is not a constraint...but quality is..
Wireless enabled would be an added advantage...

Besides if you want to buy locally not every model shown on the site would be available in the local market.
for overall comparision you can use the HP site to check prices and www.compareindia.com

adding to this I have a question, do these MFDs can scan also. because I was trying to check in CompareIndia site when I selected filter for scanner it didnt gave any results. I thought we can scan also with these. LiL confused here.

I mostly need a scanner. Got a printer in office, though not colored, but its good laser printer.

rajesh, do let us know of your findings and what you bought will give an insight to this.

I like HP Officejet 6400 series MFDs, good for printing. As my use is mostly printing and scanning.
