HPOfficeJet 250 Mobile Printer, Black/White

I bought this printer as a backup after my main printer developed a problem, with it in mind that I can also use it when away from home to scan, print etc. without relying on hotel facilities and WiFi.The printer was easy to set up and whilst I am often cautious about the invasive nature of HP software, the printer installed easily and the HP Smart app works well and actually found an older HP printer which is on my network.The printer is light and easy to carry and produces a good quality print and also pleasingly a good quality scan for a reasonable file size. You can adjust the outputs of both print and scan to suit your requirements.Only two minor negatives:1) The software is a little glitchy if you select 2-sided printing - my experience is the printer driver loses the 2 sided dialogue after the first pass, so you have to start again and print the missing even or odd pages to populate the blank sides - not as hard as it sounds and I in fact mostly use the traditional route of printing odd pages then even, avoiding the 2 sided printing option altogether. I've not taken any stars off for this as you need to mess about with most mobile printers when working 2 sided anyway.2) The second is a bit more of a surprise in such a well designed package in that there is no extending paper tray to catch the paper as it prints. There are clever slide out parts in all the other areas to help feeding paper in, each just big and wide enough to stop the paper falling about - but nothing similar to control the paper on the way out; all it would take would be a similar small extension which need not be full width, to control the paper. HP seem to have thought that you would only use the printer on a desk and would have the space available to allow the printer to spit the paper out onto the surface uncontrolled but clearly they haven't tried many real world scenarios, in hotel rooms and similar, where space, or convenience and speed, is at a premium; just a simple narrow extension, probably similar and as compact as the feed ones, would be enough to prevent everything falling onto the floor.As said above I've not taken stars of this because it's a really sound reliable unit, that isn't heavy, with lots of connectivity and that does the job well, just a bit of a shame testers don't think these practical aspects through.Otherwise for the cost and practicality, this is a super printer.

I bought this to replace another, cheaper HP all in one, which was HORRIBLE, disconnects, frustration, bad prints etc...all those usual infuriating things that happen to every person with printers and routers.So get my surprise when this HP machine, yes, the same brand...is essentially incredibly easy and practical. It runs off a battery, it's compact and it connected to PC and Phones in the same way air pods connect to an iPhone, i was waiting for something to go wrong and it just...didn't.You can be safe in the knowledge that this is probably the best home printer you can buy for connectivity.Cons: no exit tray on the printer, i can live with that, no big deal for meNo flatbed scan...meh, again I can live with it.I say go for it, it's worth the extra money imo.

Brilliant little mobile printer scanner copier from HP well made works well very easy to set up and use no issues with WiFi prints very well very quickly and quietly copying works well although I have not tried to scan that looks more of a task, unfortunately HO only ever give you 1/4 filled cartridges so you need to order fast, but it’s a very nice machine, Iv had my current HP machine 12 years and it’s working fine I just needed a more compact model and this one’s great. 👍

Impressed with the quality for it's small size - so practical and kind of easy to use and set up. Although admittedly it would have been good for written instructions to have been included also with the printer.

Brilliant little printer, well worth the money

In theory this should be a great product. However sign up and use are significantly hampered by the software's incessant reminders to sign up for HP's Cloud services, something which could be useful but shouldn't be prioritized for a mobile printer where internet access is not always available or necessary. Still it worked, or at least it seemed that way. After printing less than 5 pages and scanning 3 documents, and within two weeks of ownership, the printer stopped feeding documents for scanning -- it tries, it detects the document is loaded, there's a faint clicking sound when the scan is activates, but nothing. In general the quality of the software integration with MacOS laptops is very poor also. I consider this printer a waste of time and money. Expected better from HP!
