Canon Launches 5 New Printers, We Like the One That Comes in a Bucket
Canon, as is their wont, let loose with a bunch of new all-in-ones, laser and photo printers, and this time, we're digging two of them: The WiFi- and USB-enabled MP560, pictured, and the CP790, which comes packaged in a bucket.

Dell Wasabi First Inkless Pocket Printer That's Not Hideous

Mcor Matrix 3D Printer Replicates Objects on the Cheap With Simple Paper and Glue
3D printers are awesome. Feed them a computer model, and out comes a real object—often with complexity that is impossible to conjure into reality via any other means. Still blows my mind nearly every time I see one in action. Especially cool, then, is the Mcor Matrix, a 3D Printer that aims to keep cost of ownership at a minimum by using as its elementals regular office paper and a common water-based glue. This hand model, for instance, was produced for only €3.70 ($4.73). More »

Epson Artisan 700 and 800: Feature-Rich Printers on the Cheap
The Epson Artisan 700 and 800 are new all-in-one printers featuring, well, enough goodies to make use write about a generally dull topic. In addition to the standard scanners, memory card readers and LCDs, both units feature Wi-Fi and ethernet, fancy touch panel controls, direct to CD/DVD printing, and standard printing up to 38 pages per minute. Plus, each unit is only about 6-inches tall. Available for pre-order now, the 700 will run $200 with the 800 costing $300.

Casio PCP-1200 Photo Printer Has 7-Inch Touchscreen, Keyboard for Some Reason
This new photo-printer from Casio is one mixed-up gizmo: As well as standard photo-printing functions, it's got a 7-inch touchscreen and a full keyboard. So is it a mini computer with printer aspirations, or a printer with computing aspirations? Hard to say, but it's supposedly able to edit the photos you pop in from a memory card or mobile phone, and produce custom greetings cards, calendars and the like. And it comes with hundreds of built-in stamps and illustrations. You'd better be seriously into DIY greetings though: the PCP-1200 costs a whacking $500 in Japan. [Far East Gizmos] -

Canon Brings Bucket-Shaped Selphy CP770 to US
It was one of those wacky things we thought might not make it to the US but sure enough it has: Canon's CP770 Selphy printer lives, hermit-crab like, inside a bucket. Details of the thing are after the jump, but the US price is $150. Canon also announced the CP760, which as you can see in the gallery is not as cute, but is "compact" and costs just $100. Both printers use dye-sub layered printing, now with an "overcoat" technology to help cut back on blurring. More »

Color Laser Printer CLP-315K is World's Smallest, Says Samsung
20% smaller than the previous generation, Samsung is claiming their new CLP-315K is actually the World's smallest color laser printer. It's got a resolution of 2,400 x 600 dpi and can spit out four letter-sized pages per minute in color and 17 in black, and apparently it has improved photo quality output. There's also another small all-in-one edition, the CLX-3175FNK, which has a scanner built in and can scan to and print from USB memory sticks so it can operate PC-free if you need it to. There's no word on release date or price yet, sorry. [Akihabaranews]

Big Pussy Beats The Shit Out of a Printer in the Name of Low Ink Prices
In a new spot for Kodak EasyShare printers, Vincent "Big Pussy" Pastore takes a cheap HP out to the docks and yells at it for conning him into buying high-priced ink, before giving it a beating-and-a-half, Office Space style. After sending the printer off to sleep with the fishes, he welcomes the new EasyShare to the family. It's a shame seeing the commercialization of all the goombahs since the Sopranos ended, but at least this one is filmed with some dignity; if I were Paulie Walnuts, I'd be looking for whoever put me up to that terrible Denny's ad and introduce their kneecaps to my baseball bat.

HP Refuses to Update Certain Printer Drivers For Leopard, Recommends New Model Instead
Is it reasonable to expect a company to update drivers for a new operating system if an all-in-one printer is only four years old? We'd think so, but HP is having none of this for their Officejet 6110. When Matt asked HP for updated drivers for OS X Leopard, HP told him that printing will still work, but scanning was out of the question (unless he previously updated from a 10.3 or 10.4 system with the scanning software already installed). HP did say that he could trade in his printer for $16, which actually isn't all that bad for a four-year-old model. More »

Dell Products Headed For Staples Retail Stores
In a break from Dell's traditional mail order biz, an agreement reached today with the Staples retail chain will bring Dell brand notebooks, desktops, monitors, printers, and ink to over 1400 Staples stores across the U.S. Initially Staples will carry Inspiron 1721 and 1521 notebooks, Inspiron 530 desktops, 948 and 926 All-in-one printers, the 1320c laser printer, the Dell SE198WFP 19-inch LCD, E228WFP 22-inch LCD, and most types of Dell brand ink and toner with more products to be added over time. A similar agreement was signed with Wal-Mart earlier this year, making this the second time Dell has partnered with a major US retailer and the first time it has scored a 3-way.[Staples via i4u]

Canon's Selphy ES2 Photo Printer Can't Hold Your Lunch
Though the lunchbox business is long dead, their futuristic-yet-tote-friendly look has made its way to the 4x6 photo printers.
