Besides maybe the Epson Stylus NX300, it’s virtually impossible to find a four-in-one inkjet printer that costs $100 or less. That fact alone makes the Brother MFC-290C a potentially appealing model at $99.99. It copies, scans and faxes, and reported print speeds reach up to 25 ppm in color and 30 in black.

 

In addition, the Brother MFC-290C can print your photos PC-free via PictBridge, memory card, and USB Flash Drive. You also get an auto document feeder (ADF) that enables your machine to scan, fax, or copy up to 15 pages on its own. Keep in mind that despite what you learned in preschool, this MFP lacks network connectivity, so you can’t share it with your family or co-workers.
