HP Photosmart B109 Wireless Al in One Printer

After testing the new flagship of HP Photosmart C309 Premium a few weeks back, it is interesting to look at the model mid-range. Costing less than half the price, the Photosmart Wireless B109 still has some of the main characteristics of his brothers and sisters more expensive, such as wireless, touch automatic controls and the same print engine, and not even give a run for its money on printing speed.

All dressed in high gloss black plastic, a little last year and an absolute magnet for fingerprints, the B109 is still a smart, well-designed device. The Contact Image Sensor (CIS) scanner is low on the machine, increasing its height and slightly to the left of the scanner cover is a convenient panel little control.With a small screen LCD, 37 mm in the center, it has three buttons down each side, with fixed functions labeled Back, Cancel and OK buttons function and mild left to right, with labels from menus on the screen.

HP makes no attempt to integrate the paper tray in the body of the machine design, instead falling back against the front panel. Bend down and Swing Out with the media and you have a tray or for plain paper or photo. Delivers food to finish top of the battery power.Under the control panel on the left, two memory card slots for SD, MemoryStick and xD, but no PictBridge or USB, which is a shame. At the rear is a USB connection, but not Ethernet. The connection to the wireless network is a single person.

Wireless is to temporarily connect the machine via USB and HP thoughtfully provides a cable for this function, but other machines, including the Photosmart C309 Premium can happen to make the connection without the need for a cable.Drivers are provided for Windows and OS X and can be downloaded for various incarnations of Linux. Other software includes the HP Solution Center and a copy of Windows Live Gallery, we imagine Microsoft is keen to get on the market.The four individual ink cartridges, with motifs similar to those used in the Canon Pixma machines, now the leading semi-permanent after printing an alignment page and re-scanned, you’re ready to go.
