HP OfficeJet 250 All-in-One Portable Printer with Wireless & Mobile Printing, Works with Alexa (CZ992A) Black

Finally, a printer that has enough going for it to be a worthy successor to the legendary HP Si series printers! I bought this, based on the reviews, to specifically to be able to mobile print from a variety of devices and after 3 months of use, I can say it functions flawlessly!Pros:* Sturdily built - finally a consumer printer that you don't have to fear breaking the flimsy plastic housing if you touch it! The housing and all external parts are sturdy enough to stand up to normal transport bumps and thumps.* Works with a variety of devices - be sure to have BOTH Bluetooth and WiFi enabled on your computing device (laptop, cell phone, etc) and it will find the printer with no problem. I have used it extensively with my iPhone 6 airprint and PC laptop WiFi with no issues.* Battery life is great - I go two weeks on a full charge, printing a few sheets per day, and have plenty of battery left.* Color docs look good - I don't print photos on this machine, but the color charts, graphs, and text are clear and sharp.* Works in a wide variety of environments - I've used this printer in near freezing conditions and it just chugs along without a problem.* Copy feature works great - images are sharp and text is clear. Note that this machine will scan and fax, as well, but I haven't used these features yet.* The price is reasonable for the features and reliability you get.* Reasonably economical on the ink, contrary to most HP inkjets.Con - typically, the HP brand ink is very expensive.Print speed is rather sedate, not as fast as the fastest ink jets, but it's plenty fast enough for mobile use and its reliability and ease of use makes up the difference. Other reviewers have said this printer could easily be all you need for a home printer, as well as traveling, and I agree. If you only print occasionally, this machine will meet your needs.After years of being disappointed (disgusted, really) by flimsy, finicky inkjet printers that didn't seem to live much beyond their first set of ink cartridges, I'm sold on this machine. Hopefully HP will continue this trend (and reclaim their soiled legacy) by extending this effort to their other product lines.Note - if you only need to print is B&W, then check out the OfficeJet 200, which is about 20% cheaper at this writing.

Compact with High quality prints. If I was to mark it down, it would be for poor battery life and expensive ink.

I purchased this printer in June 2020 for the scanning and printing ability as well as the compact size. I didn't need the portability, but thought that would be an added bonus just in case. The printer worked fine for approximately 3.5 years, although it did seem to go through ink rather quickly considering I don't print very much. I mostly used for scanning documents which worked fine. However, there is apparently a Lithium Ion battery in this printer required for power, despite the fact that the printer has an AC adapter plug. I have never used this printer for travel and it has always remained plugged into an AC outlet, but after 3.5 years the battery (that I didn't even know existed until now) has died and the printer shut off without warning, explanation, or error code. After entirely too much research through the completely unhelpful HP website, I finally just googled the battery SN and discovered you can purchase replacement batteries for $106. I purchased a battery, received a damaged box with no instructions other than to put the battery into the printer. I did so and the printer has been showing an error code for 3 days stating "Faulty Battery - The battery is faulty and must be replaced. For ordering information, visit the HP Support website." I tried searching the HP Support website again for help, but there is no information anywhere about replacing these batteries. When I search for the printer on support, it directs me to order a support plan with a monthly fee in order to receive help from support. I've now requested a replacement battery, but I'm not hopeful at finding a solution at this point. After all of this, I would say that unless you have unlimited funds and don't mind replacing the battery every three years, I would not recommend this printer. I also wouldn't spend over $400 for a printer again that also requires a non-rechargeable battery for use. I'll be looking for a cheaper printer that's easier to replace next. Preferably not HP.
