Very good device but has limits.
By Adam
I am a profesional trucker for a living and always have a need to print and scan documents. I bought this product in Feburary of 2013, it had not been out long and was very new item not many people knew about. It has very many good and not so great feature which I will describe the best I can to help others.

Ok the down side:
-It is spendy and so are the ink cartridges. BUT the cartridges do seem to hold up well and are very common to find. I have had mine in for over a month of daily printing and still have not replaced them. MAKE SURE you you check and get the right ones. There are other HP ink cartridges that fit this device that DO NOT work.
-This device can be noisy but its nothing out of the normal for a printer in my opinion.
-The current labtop I have now does not have Bluetooth capabilities and have not had much of a chance to try that feature. I WILL ALSO WARN YOU APPLE IPHONES WITH BLUETOOTH DO NOT WORK! I have a Iphone 4S and unless you have airprint which Apple does not have for the Iphone mentiond you cannot print by bluetooth. This I would say is my biggest complaint but its not the fault of the printer as it is of the phone. I would check your smartphone and see if it has this feature if you plan to use it for that purpose. I recently bought a new Apple MacBook Pro with bluetooth and airprint it so I will update later with how that is going as I have not tried it much yet. You will need a cord for the scanning feature the device does not have the memory or capabilities to scan and send documents by bluetooth to the computer/phone. If I am incorrect on this someone can gladly let me know if their is a patch and or something I am doing wrong. YOU can scan to a memory card or USB stick which is a nice feature to have if you dont have a computer close by.
-The scanner does work good EXCEPT you have to feed the documents in one by one it which isn't to big of a deal and you get used to it. Not necesairly a bad thing cause then you make sure all documents get scanned and in correnct order which some printers/scanners don't always do. Also you have to be careful and get the documents get in straight cause they can scan crooked really easy.

THE UPSIDE!
-The battery last a long time! The printer does go into sleep mode after a few minutes and you have to "wake" it up but it dosent seem to bother me to much. I have found it does drain fast with scanning but that does not suprise me. If you are just printing it will last quite a while. Battery does charge up quickly to and you can use it plugged in.
-Printer is very good and quick for something of its size. I have not tried photos or anything of that sort but for regular documents I cannot complain.
-Touch screen and menu options are nice and simple
-Size and weight of the printer I think are pretty good. I am 6'2 but it dosent take up alot of space in bunk which is a big plus for me.
-Scanning software is very good! FOR ONCE HP software dosent take over the computer. I like it because if you scan all it does is brings up a progress bar and then goes away when done. When the documents are done scanning it brings up the file and where its at so you can rename it and move it right away instead of hunting for it. That is one thing I was nervous about with when I first uploaded the software but so far no complaints.
-Having both a scanner and printer in a device of this size makes it a sticking point for me. I know there are lots of other devices you can get the scanner and printer seperate, but it makes things just simpler.

All in all I am very happy with the device. Granted it takes quite the punch in the wallet. I bought this device at Office Depot so I paid a little more. I also bought an extended repacement warranty as well. I would recommend it especially if it is going in and out of vehicles a lot. Worth the investment.

I have not bought the bag that is available for this from HP. I am plan to because for such a expensive device the bag would be good to have for when it comes in and out of my truck to carry both my labtop and printer.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND if you do not need the scan portion of the device. At least for the price unless it comes down eventually. I know HP has some other good products that just print. For me I needed both so it was worth the money 100X over and overall I give it 5 stars to HP for the device, considering its the first of its kind.

Hope this was helpful to you!

Where Have You Been All My Life!!!
By Bruce Alexander
I can't imagine going on the road without this, it prints,copies,scans to a thumb drive for emailing contracts, everything I need. I have had it 3 months and it makes my life on the road so much easier. I was apprehensive about buying from Adorama as I typically buy only products stocked and shipped Prime from Amazon but these folks shipped the same day and kept me in the loop on tracking as well as getting it to me 5 days ahead of Amazons projected delivery date

Quality printer/scanner - for a portable - perhaps overpriced
By Don Alan Uhrig
My primary printers have been HP for over 15-years. Other brand usage has led me to trust HP. I purchased the HP 150 for use during a move - I needed a much small and portable printer as my HP 8500 is large and heavy. I have previously owned the HP 100 (no scanner) when on a six month assignment to San Diego, but decided to pop for the higher price and capabilities of the HP 150 this time.

As a portable printer, it performed flawlessly. There are obvious limitations to a portable printer. For example: it can only hold limited amounts of paper in the feed. Two-sided printing must be manually flipped. There is no tray to catch the printed sheets. Ink cartridges are smaller than a full-size printer. Regardless of the limitations, I was able to do everything I needed.

The scanner function works well. The included software allows you to create scanning templates. For example: Template for high quality color, or low-res black & white, etc. The limitations are that the scanner really only likes standard width paper. The paper guide slider does not offer enough variety to hold narrow items (such as a photo) in a firm position while going through the scanner. Thus, the item shifts on the rollers and ends up being a skewed image. In short - you will never get the same quality from a roller based scanner as you would from a flat-bed scanner.

I scanned an entire bankers box of documents with very few errors. The scanner is SLOW, but considering it is a portable consumer product (not a desktop business device) it is an acceptable speed.

As for the touch-screen... I seldom needed to use any of it's functions. Could the same information be presented in a widget on your computer screen? Perhaps. As other reviews have suggested, the touch screen could be the cause for the inflated price of this model.

When closed up or in the open position, the printer is attractive but not distractive. No sharp edges or ugliness. The lid and paper eject door seem sturdy enough, but as moveable components could be the first items to be broken if careless.

I did not print with Bluetooth connection, so cannot comment on that. The battery life seems acceptable. Just turn the printer off between printings and it last a long time.

Overall, I am very happy with the purchase. I did not experience any jams or failures to print. I was able to produce quality documents just as from any ink-jet printer.
