Manufacturer description

The HP OfficeJet 250 is a battery-powered all-in-one that prints, scans, and copies without a desk or a network behind it. HP Auto Wireless Connect pairs it straight to a laptop, tablet, or smartphone, with or without a router, so you can print a contract from a parking lot or scan a signed form in a client's lobby. A 10-page automatic document feeder runs multipage copy and scan jobs hands-free, and the 2.65-inch color touchscreen handles setup and quick copies at the printer itself. HP Fast Charge brings the included battery back to roughly 90 percent in about 90 minutes with the printer…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored HP OfficeJet 250 Wireless Mobile Printer using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the cables & connectors category. HP's cables & connectors lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for cables & connectors of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the HP OfficeJet 250 come with a battery?

Yes, the battery is included. HP Fast Charge recharges it to roughly 90 percent in about 90 minutes when the printer is switched off, and you can charge from an AC source at home, in the office, or in the car.

Can it print without Wi-Fi or a router?

Yes. HP Auto Wireless Connect lets a laptop, tablet, or smartphone print, scan, and copy directly to the printer without joining a network, which is the point of the OfficeJet 250's mobile design.

Will it scan and copy multipage documents on its own?

It has a 10-page automatic document feeder, so multipage copy and scan jobs run hands-free up to 10 sheets per load. Longer stacks need to be reloaded.

What ink cartridges does the OfficeJet 250 use?

It uses Original HP 62 series cartridges, which HP rates for the highest in-class page yields, so you go longer between supply replacements. Check the product listing for current cartridge availability.
