Then there are a few functionality issues: 1. Text looks fantastic with the supplied cartridge, and is indiscernible from text printed on a standard printer. The primary of these is that HP should have named this the H4700-ala-carte printer because everything aside from basic functionality requires the use of a dongle (for wireless and blue-tooth, both of which cost nearly fifty dollars each) and if you want to print photos or graphics, you need an additional ink cartridge. However, there a few things that really frustrate me about the printer. I've got a bit of a love-hate relationship with the H4700. Even with a few complaints, the usefulness of the printer speaks for itself. That said, once it is printing, it does a fine job of it. This of course occurs at the worst possible moments; but that's probably just Murphy's law and not HPs fault.
For a portable printer it's good but not perfect. 2. It's a necessity in many cases, and has saved me a few times with last minute print jobs that I overlooked or the ability to print out drafts in a hotel room, conference center, or even airport. Set up is easy as long as the blue tooth connects, and the printer will churn out its 14 pages per minute without complaint. The blue-tooth connectivity is a bit sporadic, and each time the signal is lost, it takes some messing around to get the print job started back up. The loading tray for the paper is a bit prone to jamming, but I suppose nothing worse than most printers with a top loading tray. Make sure you factor in the cost of either a wireless or blue-tooth dongle if you want to use it that way, as well as a print cartridge for photos/graphics if you're planning to print more than text. 4/5 Stars.
The printer arrived on time. Was able to print from any room in my home as well as anywhere in my yard, 400 sq/m in size. It installs in a snap. Was able to connect immediately using the HP bt 500 adapter. [[ASIN:B0010Z1UZ8 HP H470wbt Officejet Mobile Printer] Only need to finger more with the formating of pages. Hope the next model will weight less, making easier it easier for traveling.
I was able to get a third party bluetooth adapter working in just a few minutes, although I had to install the print drivers from the included DVD. The device is about as light but somewhat bulkier than I had expected. I just received mine. I was fairly pleased that the power adapter is the same model used by HP pavillion laptops - so road warriors only need 1 power adapter for both printer and laptop. Also, the parts are made of very light weight plastic, so its not nearly as rugged as a laptop. For example, that top panel could be irreparably broken off by an errant elbow. Also, the print quality is outstanding. Whether b/w or color, its producing prints that are just as high quality as full size printers.
Just bring this bad boy along and print what you need. I like this mobile printer. I also liked the price. Its perfect for on the go. No more having to pay money somewhere to use their printers. Better here than other places. Product arrived super fast as well.
This is a great printer. Everything about it.price, size, print, speed, ease of setup spells "quality". Would highly recommend to any prospective buyer.
