Our Verdict

HP OfficeJet 250

Canon SELPHY Square QX10

The Canon SELPHY Square QX10 and the HP OfficeJet 250 are both compact battery-powered printers. The Canon is a pocket-sized printer for printing small photos taken with your phone. The HP is a traditional inkjet printer for printing and scanning documents when on the go. It accepts many different paper sizes, including Letter and Legal, and it has an automatic document feeder for scanning.
