While most will use this sitting on a table or desk, it can work from a wide shelf or even on the floor behind a sofa if the lounge police dislike the black colour. It can be connected via USB or by wireless meaning it need not be in sight...

You might not expect to find a cheap inkjet MFP with wireless networking, but these days you can choose from several around the £50 mark. Canon's PIXMA MG3250 is one of the newest and smartest, but it's not especially highly specified, with only modest...

The speed and running costs of the MG3250 mean that it's not the best choice for frequent, everday use. However, its duplex option and helpful software will appeal to home workers or students who occasionally need to produce longer, high-quality documents...

It's rather smart-looking, but it's not especially highly specified, with only modest print speeds and scan resolutions. Its controls are fairly basic too, with no colour screen or memory card slots, suggesting that its Wi-Fi support comes at the expense...
