HP Officejet 100 Mobile Printer - Pt. II

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 anyhow and welcome any questions that you may have. Enjoy!

The best thing is to leave the ink-jet printer power on because they all authomaticall do things to prevent nozzles and ink drying up. When you turn them on and off, they clean the nozzles each time and hem and haw and waste ink.

With the HP mobile printer, you have to believe that HP realizes that this particular model may sit unused for months at a time and that they have done something to prevent everything from drying out. Hence, I would rely on any automatic power features.

These were great (Part I & II)... very helpful. For those of us with laser printers as our office models, would like to know more about maintaining the ink in InkJets. As a "travel" or "occasional" printer, I'm wondering what I need to do to conserve ink if I store the printer for a long time (days to weeks). Does the ink dry out? Can I seal the ink cartridges somehow between uses? Thanks: BC
