The HP Tango X is a squat white oblong that comes wrapped in a fetching foldable linen cover, which serves as both an out-tray for your prints, and as a protective case for the printer when it's not in use. Colourful striplights glow softly when the print...

Can a printer be good-looking enough to reside in your living room? HP thinks the Tango X is. When its fabric (or optional cork) cover is in place, it looks somewhat like a very large fabric-covered coffee-table book. Of course, that's only true when you...

  • Yes. If you want a printer that installs easily, has excellent output quality, does not need wires beyond the power cord, and doesn't really look like a printer, the Tango X is an attractive choice. If, on the other hand, you expect to really push a large...

It'd been a very long time since the last time I owned a printer in my home office. I didn't have the need of a printer since I didn't print much. When I need to print documents, I often go to a nearby library or a Fedex office. When I need to print photo...

While I try to live a paperless life, it's not quite possible to get away from the stuff entirely. For example, returning packages mostly means printing a label (though there are some exceptions now), and there are still a few companies that insist on eti...
  • The HP Tango X costs $199. You can find it cheaper without the cover, but then you're losing a large part of the reason for buying it in the first place – the fact that you can have a printer without having to look at one when you're not using it.There ar...
