HP Officejet 100 Mobile Printer - Pt. I

Two-Part video series on HP's new Officejet 100 Mobile Printer that was just released on 04/06/11. The littlest Officejet measures " 13.6x16.7" x3.2" when closed and can print 500 laser-quality pages with its detachable lithium-ion battery. It can also print borderless 4" x 6" photo prints and handle media as large as 8-1/2" x 14."




Travel niceties abound as it folds up into a smooth brick-like shape with no protrusions to catch on anything while in transit. Another convenience is that It can be powered and charged by the AC adapter from HP business-class laptops and accepts XL high capacity ink cartridges for those long journeys.

Part I - A product overview, the unboxing and setup, and ink/media/battery installation.
Part II - Bluetooth and software installation and installed software overview.

Latest excuse - When I dumped Part II into iMovie, I discovered much to my dismay that the audio was missing. I decided to add commentary separately after I had edited out delays, so at times, the dialogue is rushed.

We are confident that you will get the gist though and welcome any questions that you may have. Enjoy!

I will try. Sometimes they take a long time to install and/or things need explaining. You can aways fast forward though ;-)

[metalkez]

which is that song you used at the beginning sounds cool :)

[WirthConsulting]

@metalkez @metalkez @metalkez Oh man, Greyboy is definitely cool. Check out DEALIN' WITH THE ARCHIVES on YouTube.

The album MASTERED THE ART is filled with head-noddin' tracks. Greyboy has definitely mastered the art. My personal fave is the title track.

I used to love putting samples in the intro to our vids but I got smacked down because of it. Now there's silence in protest. The system says no fun w/o paying the rich piper.

Since it is a printer only, there is no way to make copies. You would have to scan a copy with a scanner or another MFP and print it on the Officejet Mobile. However, stay because a portable solution with copying is coming soon.

can this printer be turned on/off thru bluetooth on a laptop or do you need to press the button on unit?

[WirthConsulting]

@conjon11 The printer automatically sleeps and wakes up when a print job is received. It consumes almost no power while in sleep mode and is simply snoozing and keeping an ear open for an incoming print job. Bottom line is that there is no need to ever turn it off unless it is being transported.

Next time please don't make your unboxing videos so long :s

[lawman4942]

will it make copies ?

What makes it funnier is that I feel like I must have changed a thousand cartridges in my day! One recent HP (4500?) had upside down cartridges that you pushed up to set in place. You shoulda seen me sputtering with that one!

Thanks for watching!

Ha! Ha! Had to laugh when you were struggling to load the ink cartridges! :-) That's what brought me here. The HP 95 and HP 98 cartridges are a PAIN to load in this little printer. I thought for sure HP packaged the wrong cartridges with the printer. The trick is in knowing that the cartridges, in their FINAL installed position, do NOT sit at an angle, they sit horizontal, as in horizontal to your table or desk. They don't "insert" that way but sit that way once locked in place. A pain!!!
