HP OfficeJet All-in-One 250: Best compact printer overall

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.
