Our Verdict
HP OfficeJet 250
Canon PIXMA iX6820
The Canon PIXMA iX6820 and the HP OfficeJet 250 are both compact printers. If you need to print only and don't need a scanner, the Canon is a better choice due to its significantly higher page yield and excellent cost-per-print. On the other hand, if you often need to print when on the go, the HP has a rechargeable battery. Also, it has a sheetfed scanner and more connectivity options, including Wi-Fi Direct and Mopria Print Service.
