When it comes to printing, two factors always get the most attention: cost per page and print speed. What is not usually considered is the size of the device, and while the HP Officejet 100 Mobile Printer isn't the fastest or cheapest option out there, it wins on size - or rather lack of it. This is because for the road warrior size does matter,Hp PB991A battery and bigger is never better.

The Officejet 100 is truly that -- a mobile printer. It features a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that allows you to print from a laptop or portable device when you don't have access to a power outlet. More importantly, thanks to built-in Bluetooth functionality, this printer lets you print without a USB cable -- or any other cable, for that matter.

Portable ... to a Point
Out of the box, the Officejet 100 weighs just over five pounds (without paper, of course); with the paper and output trays closed, it measures 13.7 inches long by 6.9 inches deep and 3.3 inches high. That's still a lot to drop into a carry-on suitcase, so this probably isn't a practical option for frequent fliers. It is, however, ideal for road warriors who travel mostly by car (or who don't mind checking luggage), Hp 398876-001 battery, Hp PB992A battery, Hp PB994A battery, Hp PB991A batteryand it's especially useful for those who set up shop at kiosks or events and need to do some light printing on the job.

At $279.99 (MSRP) the Officejet 100 isn't the cheapest option, either, but (lack of) size carries a premium. And this printer does pack some decent features,Hp laptop battery including PictBridge, USB 2.0, and Bluetooth support. It can hold up to 50 sheets or three envelopes in its paper tray. The battery can print up to 500 pages when fully charged, and the Officejet 100 can print on regular paper or produce borderless 4x6-inch photos.

A Printer That Demands Patience
So, besides the price, what does the Officejet 100 give up? One of the most obvious tradeoffs is print speed, with an output rate of just five black-and-white text pages per minute. The wait for photos or graphics gets even longer: The printer only averages about three and a half pages per minute with graphics and three pages per minute for photos printed on regular paper. On the highest-quality photo setting, the Officejet 100 slows to over one minute per page.

That's a really slow output rate, but at least the results are up to snuff. The Officejet 100 offers 600 x 600 rendered dpi (when printing from a computer), with up to 4800 optimized dpi color and 1200 input dpi. The best results with images are, of course, with quality photo paper, but even on regular paper the images were very good and comparable to many desktop inkjet printers.

The cost breakdown is also a tad high. The standard HP 98 black cartridge retails for around $24 and reportedly offers 440 pages. That breaks down to about 5.5 cents per page. It gets worse when using the HP 95 tricolor cartridge, costing about 8.8 cents per page.Hp PB994A battery, (Prices are based on cartridge MSRP from the HP website.)

Smooth Sailing with Windows 7
The Officejet 100 worked seamlessly when used with a desktop or laptop PC over a USB 2.0 cable (not included), and a Windows 7 PC recognized the printer instantly. PictBridge also worked seamlessly, making it easy to print out photos seconds after shooting them. (The irony here is that it takes longer to print a photo than it does to transfer it to the printer.) A test laptop running Windows Vista also connected to the printer, although this system took some "convincing" to finally print.

The printer's built-in Bluetooth support was useful, although it would have been nice to have Wi-Fi connectivity as an option, too. Many desktop PCs don't have native Bluetooth support, although Bluetooth is clearly an essential feature given the Officejet 100's road-warrior focus.

Mobile device connectivity was more hit-or-miss, but in fairness this issue usually has more to do with the client devices than with the printer itself. Bluetooth allowed for quick connections to smartphones and an Android tablet, yet despite the fact that the devices were synched, some apps still couldn't print successfully. Seamless it was not, so users are advised to get these kinks worked out ahead of time.

Where's the Carrying Case?
As a mobile printer, the HP Officejet 100 Mobile Printer mostly delivers.Hp 398876-001 battery, Hp PB992A battery, Hp PB994A battery, Hp PB991A battery It is small and sleek, doesn't weight too much, and runs smoothly. Given the $280 price tag, however, HP could have at least included a carrying case to protect the printer -- be prepared instead to hang onto the box and original packaging when you travel.

The bottom line is that there are times when having a printer on the road can come in really handy. Hp PB992A battery,This printer is a more affordable option than going to the business center of a hotel, and it allows users to print where AC power isn't even available. It isn't the quickest or cheapest option for printers, but it is a great option when mobility matters.
