HP OfficeJet 5258 All-In-One Instant Ink Printer With Mobile Printing

HP has become well known for its electronics. It entered the industry as Hewlett-Packard in 1939, but its first computer didn’t hit the market until 1966. Although the company dominated the desktop and laptop market in the early years of the internet, competition has shifted its focus to printers, copiers and scanners in recent years.

Today, HP’s printers are used in both homes and offices, with equipment that can meet almost every need. As technology has evolved, HP has become known for its all-in-one printers, which allow you to copy, scan and fax in addition to printing. Instead of having four separate pieces of equipment, some of which you may not even use on a regular basis, you have everything you need in one device.

One of the best things about an HP printer, though, is that you can now print from anywhere. HP printers connect to a smart app that lets you check the printer’s status and even print when you’re away. Today’s HP printers also allow you to print from any mobile device hooked up to your Wi-Fi network. This comes in handy when you have guests who need to print something.

• Look at the dimensions of the printer you’re considering. Many are more compact than previous generations of printers, so you should be able to find one that has all the features in a space-saving design.
• You don’t need a phone line to fax using an HP printer. As long as it’s hooked up to a wireless network, you can send documents by using the fax feature on the device and inputting the phone number on the receiving end.
• One handy feature built into today’s HP printers is an ink delivery program. You can even find coupons with some HP printers that will let you save by signing up for it. Ink is automatically shipped to your door when your printer determines you need more.
• It’s important to pay close attention to the cost of the cartridges before buying the printer. Many HP printers work with the high-output cartridges HP sells. If you print often, this can be a way to save money, but if you print infrequently, you may find that a regular cartridge is best as the ink won’t dry out over the months it takes you to use it.
• A refurbished HP printer can help you save money. Look closely at how the seller certifies that the product is in good working condition. Often, it’s merely that there are cosmetic defects, with the mechanics not affected at all.
