You can print a full spread of standard sizes from 8.5 x 11 inches down to 4 x 6-inch prints. There’s also a 60-sheet tray for feeding printed documents, and the outbound tray can accommodate up to 25 pages. We were impressed with the photo quality we were able to print on the 3830, and the details in our printed photos were exceptionally clear. These aren’t blistering speeds by any means, but it holds its own. The 3830 will print 8ppm of black and white documents, and 6ppm of color documents.

There’s a 35-page automatic document feeder for scanning or copying large documents, and it didn’t experience any jamming during our testing. It scans, copies, faxes, and, of course, prints. The 3830 from HP’s OfficeJet line is a meat-and-potatoes printer-one that has a ton of features but doesn’t command quite the premium of more expensive units.

This isn’t the fanciest printer out there, but it will serve well for those looking for a printer that can perform the basic functions at an affordable price. Type: InkJet | Color/Monochrome: Color | Connection Type: Wireless, USB, Apple AirPrint | LCD Screen: Touchscreen display | Scanner/Copier/Fax: Print, copy, scan, fax The inclusion of AirPrint makes wireless printing super easy for Apple hardware owners, but Android and Windows owners aren’t left in the cold, with Wi-Fi Direct and Bluetooth Smart Technology also allowing for wireless printing.įind out how to print on an iPad or print from your iPhone if this is your first AirPrint printer. You can also change the printer’s settings from the downloadable HP Smart app (for Android and iOS), as well as print, scan, edit, and more from the companion app. The 2.65-inch color touchscreen allows for quick menu selection, with an easy-to-navigate interface with a home button and back button that’s reminiscent of a cell phone screen. The printer includes paper guides you can use to adjust your paper size, and these guides can be a bit tough to move, but overall, the printer has a functional design. Regardless, this is much faster than a mobile photo printer like the Kodak Step, which only prints a single page per minute. This number drops slightly to 9ppm black and white and to 6ppm in color on battery, but the OfficeJet 250 has an external battery that's good for up to 90 minutes of printing. The ten-page automatic document feeder and up to 50 sheets of overall paper capacity allow this printer to push up to 10 pages per minute (ppm) in black and white and up to 7ppm in color.

However, with sharp looks and the ability to print, scan, and copy, the OfficeJet 250 is an outstanding all-in-one printer with AirPrint that you can take with you on the go. Measuring 14.3 x 7.32 x 2.7 inches and weighing just 6.5 pounds, the OfficeJet 250 is lightweight, but it’s still on the larger end for a battery-operated printer.
