HP OfficeJet 100 Printer Setup
If you need print on the move, though, you can still use an inkjet by carrying a device like HP’s OfficeJet 100 Mobile. The two ink and head cartridges clip into carriers, though insertion is a little more tricky than usual, due to tiny spring arms which have to be depressed by the cartridges as you are pushing and the other for draft mode. The black print speed is 4.6 pages per minute but raised more when the document page increased.
In fact, although not specifically mentioned in the spec sheet, basic support for photo printing is available to iPhone and Android devices, too. Printer drivers are offered for Windows, OS X, Windows Mobile and Linux and HP also includes its toolbox, which provides basic head cleaning, and alignment, as well as ink-usage displays.
HP quotes 5ppm for laser quality black print, and since there’s little difference in quality we could see between laser and normal modes, this speed is a good match to the spec. Color print is quoted at 3.5ppm but our five-page test only gave 1.8ppm, so quite a bit slower. In objective terms, though, these speeds aren’t too bad for a portable printer.
A 15 x 10cm photo print completed in 1:55, which is also fair. This is a well engineered little printer, though it’s a bit big to be a truly mobile machine. If you need to have print facilities with you when travelling, you may not have much choice between this machines Print quality is even, speed is usually good and the inclusion of a Lithium ion battery means you’re not tied to main power.
