I tested the Wi-Fi connection process and found it simple to navigate through the initial setup screens with help from the instructions on the driver disc.

Using AirPrint, you can print out a photo from your iPhoto library by simply choosing the connected printer and hitting Print. In addition to a direct USB connection (like most vendors, HP does not include a USB cable with the printer), you can set up the Photosmart 5510 on your network via Wi-Fi, which also lets Apple users make an easy connection through AirPrint on a compatible iOS device. Anyone not relegated to printing the occasional e-mail or plane ticket will likely prefer the extra 20 sheets you can fit in the Epson Stylus NX430. The paper input and output trays both sit on the bottom of the device, though the minimal 80-sheet paper capacity may frustrate you if you're a high-frequency printer.
#HP PHOTOSMART 5510 PRINTER MANUAL#
In fact, the driver included on the installation disc doesn't even include an option for manual double-sided printing - a must-have for anyone interested in saving money on consumables or environmental conservation. It's no surprise that this $100 device doesn't include the extra flair of its pricier linemates, so you won't see features like an auto-document feeder or a duplexer on the back for double-sided printing. Additionally, HP makes choosing the right buttons a little easier by only illuminating the necessary options for each feature, as opposed to other panels that ask you to pick through a list of every available icon. Most of the controls reside on the display itself, with virtual buttons on the right side that help with navigation and making onscreen selections. HP extends its touch-compatible display trend to the 5510 with a 2.4-inch color LCD positioned on the left of the device. The Epson Stylus NX430 is still the smallest all-in-one printer, though, coming in a full 2 inches shorter.

It measures 17.2 inches long by 5.8 inches tall and 12.8 inches wide, so it won't occupy your entire desktop like more full-fledged multifunctions. The Photosmart 5510 combines the functionality of a printer, scanner, and copier into a low-profile chassis finished in matte black that jells with HP's current design aesthetic.
