CANON i250 COLOR BUBBLE JET Suggested Retail: $49 www.usa.canon.com

Canon i250 Color Bubble Jet
This is not a typo: Canon's newest low-end Bubble Jet costs just $49. Of course, the USB cable needed to connect it to a computer is sold separately, and there's no paper tray underneath to catch print jobs as they cross the finish line. So they skimped a little. Still, there was no skimping on print quality — snapshots come out beautifully, at up to 4800 x 1200 dpi. It can take all of the special photo paper that its pricier siblings use. It also comes with the same software, including the handy Easy-PhotoPrint utility, and Canon's Easy-WebPrint plug-in, which automatically resizes web pages in Internet Explorer for Windows, so that when they print, you don't lose the right side of the page.
