9-in-1 printer makes you multitask

All-in-one (AIO) printers touting three to four features such as copying, scanning, and faxing are aplenty. But when we received news of a 9-in-1 model, it nearly blew us away.

Brother's MFC-885CW has to be one of the most feature-packed printers we've seen this year.

(Keep in mind that seeing everything at CES is like trying to eat at every restaurant in Manhattan in two days; no one person can possibly scour more than a fraction of the total offerings.) Hewlett-Packard demonstrated a wide variety of equipment that would definitely do a good job, but Kodak seemed to have developed the whole package deal, understanding their target audience as photographers and memory makers rather than just people who print photos.… Read more
