If you have a home office or small business, a multifunction printer can play a vital role in your productivity. Be it making copies, printing invoices and photos, or spicing it up with a fax every now and again, a good all-in-one printer will have your back when you need it.
At this point, you can't really buy a bad multifunction printer, as most have shrunk in size while feature sets have become standardized at this point. Almost every make and model can make prints, scan documents or photos, make copies, and send faxes just like any other. Nevertheless, I've done all the research and rounded up the best options below.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Is Suffering Online Issues
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, the remake of Naughty Dog’s classic kart racer, has released to critical acclaim, but is suffering some unfortunate online issues.
Many players have taken to social media channels to discuss the problems they are encountering in CTR’s online multiplayer. As demonstrated by a video linked to us on Twitter, players are seemingly disconnecting and disappearing off the track.
Question to @BeenoxTeam @CrashBandicoot @Activision...is Crash Team Racing Online supposed to play this badly? I'm hoping there'll be a patch soon I know bugs are expected but this is somewhat disappointing. #CTRNitroFueled #CrashTeamRacing @IGNUK @ign #PS4 #PS4Share pic.twitter.com/vd18Ze0Rb8
Batman Is Getting a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
The Hollywood Walk of Fame is about to have a new star added to it for everyone's favourite caped crusader, Batman.
As reported by Variety, the new list of honorees has been announced by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce's Walk of Fame Selection Committee. These final picks were narrowed down from hundreds of nominees and include, among many others, the comic book hero Batman.
From the motion picture category, Julia Roberts, Spike Lee, Mahershala Ali, and Chris Hemsworth are all among those to receive stars. Television saw Andy Cohen, Wendy Williams, Christina Applegate, and Terry Crews all make the cut.
How Breaking Bad Influenced Marvel’s Black Widow Prequel
It turns out the critically acclaimed TV series Breaking Bad has had some influence in the upcoming Black Widow film.
In an interview with Gizmodo's io9, Marvel Studios' president Kevin Feige talked about the benefits of making a prequel. In particular, he said he hopes the Black Widow movie will draw from elements of Breaking Bad and its prequel series Better Call Saul -- though, of course, he still caveats that this movie is only hypothetical because Marvel and Disney haven't confirmed it is actually happening, despite the fact it is currently filming in Norway.
Link’s Awakening Switch: I Stole From a Shop and Was Murdered
After playing over 30 minutes of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Remastered for Nintendo Switch I learned three main things: The combat feels great, old-school Zelda puzzles are still fun (and unchanged), and this game is struggling to perform acceptably on the Switch (at least in full-screen mode on a TV) in its current state. Oh, and I also learned that stealing is wrong (albeit very fun). There's a video of the incident below.
Let’s start with the good stuff: The shield is now mapped to the right trigger so it no longer takes up one of two inventory slots. This means you can block, stab, swipe, spin, AND jump (with Roc’s Feather, which I got in Tail Cave) all without juggling inventory slots. If you’ve played the original game, you know this was annoying and fixing it is a big deal. Here's some combat footage from my playthrough today:
Stranger Things Season 3 Trailer Teases the Mind Flayer’s Endgame
We're less than a month away from the premiere of Stranger Things Season 3, which debuts on July 4 as part of Netflix's genius scheme to keep everyone in America glued to their TVs this Independence Day instead of out getting sunburnt.
Ahead of the show's return, Netflix has released a new Stranger Things Season 3 trailer that offers us an even better look at the threat facing Mike, Eleven and the rest of the Hawkins gang in the new eight-episode third season.
Why Marvel’s JJ Abrams Spider-Man Reveal Backfired
Marvel Comics covered the internet in sticky strands of speculation this week by teasing some big Spider-Man news with a countdown written in webbing. The first teaser showed the number four spun in threads from a black spider, and then once per day following came the three, two, one -- culminating with the news: JJ Abrams is co-writing a new Spider-Man mini-series... with his son, 21 year-old Henry Abrams.
Regardless of how you feel about the news itself, the way Marvel teed it up struck a bad chord with fans, earning the publisher instant resentment online. It all stems from that first teaser: the number four written in webbing. Barring a Spider-Man and Fantastic Four crossover, the only other natural conclusion was that Marvel was hinting at a comic book adaptation of Sam Raimi’s canceled Spider-Man 4 movie.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Script Made Keri Russell Cry
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker brought actress Keri Russell to tears.
Speaking to The Associated Press, Russell shared her first reactions to reading the script for The Rise of Skywalker given to her by director J.J. Abrams.
“When I read his script that he wrote I cried,” Russell said. “I mean who knows what it will turn out to be and I hope it remains true to what he originally wanted.”
Abrams co-wrote the script with Chris Terrio, a script that Russell believes will satisfy Star Wars fans' expectations.
"He's not trying to change it to be something else," Russell said. "He really respects what it is."
Darksiders Genesis Preview: What if Darksiders Met Diablo?
I’ll bet you weren’t expecting a new Darksiders game to be a Diablo-style, isometric-camera action-RPG, were you? I was pretty surprised myself. But the fact that Airship Syndicate, not Gunfire Games, is the developer of Darksiders Genesis, it makes a bit more sense – particularly when you find out that Airship employs original Darksiders comic book creator Joe Madureira.
I played a small slice of Genesis, and I was impressed at how well it translated to the Diablo formula. Being able to switch on the fly between the ranged attacks of Strife and the melee focus of War seems like a smart design decision; the two complement each other nicely, and if you’re not playing solo, you’re able to roll through this campaign in two-player co-op. Both characters can build up a special attack meter that, when activated, temporarily turns them into the same giant fire monster capable of wreaking significant havoc.
