HP 150 Printer Review

The HP OfficeJet 150 Mobile All-in-One inkjet printer sports an incredibly compact design that makes it small enough for a briefcase, but still provides good output quality. Print speeds are surprisingly fast, at up to 22 pages per minute for black and 18 pages per minute for color, and connection options abound. HP 150 printer ink is relatively affordable, but its battery makes it a bit heavy.

Creating a mobile printer at such a compact size would be impressive enough, but the fact that the 150 can also scan and copy is quite extraordinary. The unit measures 3.52x14x7 inches and weighs 6.4 pounds. It includes a battery that can provide up to 500 printed pages on a full charge. While it is not overly heavy, the extra weight of the battery might make some users reconsider carrying the unit around too often.

Users can choose to connect the device via USB directly to a computer, or they can insert a PictBridge camera or memory card and print without a computer using the full-color LCD screen to preview images and documents. Users can also connect via Bluetooth if they have a device that supports the protocol. Print quality is fairly impressive, especially given the unit's small sizes.

The HP 150 ink cartridges are fairly standard, and the prices for OfficeJet 150 printer ink are average. Users who want to save a little more can opt for remanufactured OfficeJet 150 ink cartridges, and choose the high-capacity versions for a lower cost per page.

While mobile inkjet printers and mobile scanners have been around for a while, the fact that the HP OfficeJet 150 combines them into one compact unit is very impressive. At a fairly low cost, users get a very mobile solution that doesn't even require a power outlet, and reasonable costs for HP 150 ink keep it affordable.
