This number drops slightly to nine ppm black and to six ppm color on battery, but the OfficeJet 250 has an external battery that's good for up to 90 minutes of printing. The 2.65-inch color touchscreen allows for quick menu selection, but you can change all the settings from the downloadable HP ePrint app, which is available on both Android and iOS. The inclusion of AirPrint makes wireless printing super easy for Apple hardware owners, but Android owners aren’t left in the cold with Wi-Fi Direct also allowing for mobile printing. The 3830 from HP’s OfficeJet line is a really meat-and-potatoes printer — one that has a ton of modern features but doesn’t command quite the premium set as much more expensive units. It scans, copies, faxes, and, of course, prints.
There’s a 35-page automatic document feeder for scanning/copying large documents. It will print eight pages per minute of black and white documents, and six pages per minute of color documents. These aren’t blistering speeds by any means, but it holds its own. There’s also a 60-sheet tray for feeding printed documents, and the outbound tray can accommodate up to 25 pages.
You can print a full spread of standard sizes from 8.5 x 11 inches down to 4 x 6-inch prints. None of these numbers constitute great features on their own, but when you factor in seamless wireless connectivity, including the ease of using AirPrint to send documents, it makes for a highly connected office. The best part? It comes in just under $100, so you’ll get a good workhorse without breaking the bank.
