The good: Outstanding text prints; Wi-Fi printing is available as an option; USB port for connecting storage drives or PictBridge devices; Wi-Fi version lets you create up to three profiles for places you print at often; generous support package.
The bad: Graphics and photo print quality aren't great; text speeds are slower than the competition's; pricey; needs a carrying bag for easy portability
The bottom line: The HP Deskjet 460c printer is a boon if you're constantly on the go and absolutely need to be able to print from wherever you are. The option of Wi-Fi printing gives it a slight edge over the competition.
