It should come as no surprise that the HP OfficeJet All-in-One 250 continues to reign supreme in our ranks of the finest compact printers. This printer not only prints high-quality pages and photographs with nearly no errors, but it also has all the extra capabilities you'd expect from a full-size printer, including an outstanding scanner for scanning and copying documents on the move.

It's a touch heavier than we'd like for a mobile printer, but owing to its built-in battery pack, you can take it with you wherever you go and receive fantastic print quality. The HP OfficeJet All-in-One 250 prints at a fast rate of 7-8 sheets per minute and is considerably quieter than the normal printer, so you won't bother anyone if you need to use it in a crowded office or even a coffee shop. All of this comes with a 4800 x 1200 dpi printing resolution, which is good for a printer of this size.

You can connect to the HP OfficeJet All-in-One 250 through USB, WiFi, or Bluetooth, and it works with almost any device, even your smartphone, thanks to a special HP mobile app. You can't ask for much more from a little printer, which is why this one gets the top rank.

The HP OfficeJet 200 Mobile is a smaller version of the HP OfficeJet 250 All-in-One, which we consider to be the best compact printer available. What sets the HP OfficeJet 200 Mobile apart from the competition is that it is a true mobile printer with a built-in battery that allows it to be utilized on the go.

The HP OfficeJet 200 Mobile, as you'd expect from a mobile compact printer, offers wireless printing from your laptop and also has a cable connection for when you want to use it as a conventional printer with your home computer. The outstanding print quality of the HP OfficeJet 200 Mobile, on the other hand, makes it stand out. It even rivals that of many full-size printers. It's also quiet and prints at a reasonable speed.

The lack of a scanner is the biggest trade-off for this mobility, but given the HP OfficeJet 200 Mobile's modest size and weight, we'd be surprised if they'd crammed one in there. Overall, this is an excellent little printer.

Because Canon is one of the most well-known printer manufacturers, you can rest assured that the Canon PIXMA TR150 comes from a long series of high-quality printers. Unlike most of its more traditional competitors, though, this little printer focuses on reducing its size without sacrificing print quality.

Because the battery pack is an optional addition, the Canon PIXMA TR150 isn't exactly a mobile printer out of the box, but it's small, light, and prints to a high quality with a resolution of 4800 x 1200 dpi. This means you can print some photos with it, though you'll still need a specialist photo printer for high-resolution DSLR photos.

Wireless connectivity and Alexa/Google Assistant compatibility are also included as great creature pleasures. Overall, if you need a little printer, the Canon PIXMA TR150 is a good choice.

With a built-in power source, the Brother PocketJet PJ763MFI is a fully compact printer that allows you to print on the go, no matter where you are. We've eaten sandwiches bigger than this printer, which measures 10.04 x 2.17 x 1.18 inches and weighs only 1.25 pounds. This makes it an excellent alternative for contractors who frequently travel to meet with customers. This printer can print an invoice or a receipt no matter where you are.

It does not require ink refills because it is a thermal printer, which further reduces its size and portability. The disadvantage is that this gadget can only print monochromatic documents. However, the prints are sharp, and the PocketJet PJ763MFI's battery can print 600 pages on a single charge.

You'll also need to buy thermal printer paper, which raises the cost per page dramatically when compared to more traditional printers. Still, these compromises are the cost of having a printer you can take with you everywhere you go, and if that's what you need, this is the greatest portable printer available.

While it doesn't name itself a compact printer, the HP DeskJet 3755's diminutive size, as well as its insanely low price, speak for themselves. With a price tag of only $89.99, this is without a doubt the best budget compact printer we've seen.

It's not portable; there's no built-in battery, and at 5.5 pounds, you wouldn't want to carry it around anyway; nonetheless, if you're looking for a compact, inexpensive printer to fit into your apartment or workplace without taking up too much space, this is the one.

It even has a built-in scanner and copier that works by feeding documents through it (due to the lack of space for a flat bed scanner). If we're being honest, the print quality is merely OK, and you might get a few print errors, but considering how cheap the HP DeskJet 3755 is, we think it's still a terrific gadget.

The Epson WF-110 delivers a perfect balance of outstanding print quality and mobility, with a fashionable and yet dignified appearance that suits in both a professional work setting as well as on your desk at home.

In fact, the Epson WF-110's print quality is so outstanding that it advertises itself as a photo printer, with the ability to print 6 x 4 borderless photos, which is something that only a few tiny printers can do. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery should last for about 100 printed pages, but you can buy additional external batteries if needed.

Because of its intuitive controls and LED screen, the Epson WF-110 is simple to operate, so you won't have to fiddle with sophisticated settings when trying to print a last-minute document for a meeting or keep customers waiting while you print an invoice.

The HP Tango X is a widely acclaimed printer that ranks among the best small printers. The $199.99 printer is a tiny, sleek desktop product that fits wonderfully in an office atmosphere, despite its flaws.

The HP Tango X is a fantastic clever printer in terms of smart features. When coupled with approved smart home setups, not only is wireless printing available, but also voice control printing.

Scanning isn't included as a hardware capability, but you can scan and print nonetheless. Scanning papers, on the other hand, necessitates taking a photo and sending it via the HP Smart Software control app.

With that said, the Tango X is merely a cosmetic boost over the Tango without the X. The X adds a cloth wraparound for the printer for an extra $50, supposedly to keep it warm. If you don't need a cloth jacket for your printer, it might be worth saving the $50.
