REVIEW: HP's Photosmart Premium e-All-in-One is an inkjet multifunction with a letter-sized flatbed scanner with scan and copy capabilities. It as well offers a long list of hot printing features, like 802.11 wireless printing, a 4.3-inch TouchSmart control screen, the ability to download and use dozens of Internet printing apps, support for Apple's AirPrint, as then as HP's own ePrint innovation. Compared to the like-priced Epson Artisan 725 and Canon Pixma MG5220, the Photosmart Premium e-All-in-One is faster, however not quite as so then equipped.

The time of this review

At the time of this review, HP is the only printer company supporting AirPrint, a feature of Apple's iOS 4.2 that allows printing from iPads, iPhones and iPod touch devices over Wi-Fi networks; and only a handful of HP's printers support it at that. The Photosmart Premium is one of those few and worked as expected, recognized automatically by my iPhone 4 and able to print photos, e-mails, and more from AirPrint-capable iOS 4.2 applications.

Less successful was my testing of HP's new ePrint innovation, which provides your printer with its own e-mail address. With this address, you can send e-mails and documents to your printer from anywhere. Give the e-mail address to your friends and family and they can as well send you prints. I sent an e-mail with a photo attachment to the printer earlier attending an hour-long meeting. When I returned, the output tray was empty. I continued to work, and about and hour and a half later, the files all things considered came through. Another time, a print job took just a couple of minutes.
