HP Deskjet printer buying guide

i have some photos that i need to put text on.
is it possible to print text on a photo with a HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-one printer?
The photos have already been printed on.
every time i do it the text ink rubs off.

I need to find the best possible laser color printer at the lowest possible price. I need to prints lots of documents black and white, flyers with a few photos on them, color posters and etc. So I would like to have both of best worlds and have some great photo quality and print the most pages per toner cartridges. I recently made a mistake and bought a HP photosmart 8250 and have gone through about almost $300 in ink, if not more (in only about 2 months). But when I think I found a good color laser printer I find horror stories from user reviews.
Can anyone help me basically find a good all around color laser printer that has full ink toner and not so expensive (like over $100 per toner)? As I don’t need network capability and if it has a duplexer is a bonus.
Thanks for any suggestions!

The Deskjet has a ?serial port connector rather than a USB

Yup, you could install the driver tru the hp website. For your printer, you could click the link below. In addition, for some hp printers, the drivers are already incorporated on some windows operating version.

The short answer is no. the 3745 is USB only. However, there are network print servers that will connect a USB printer to a network such as HP’s JetDirect.
