Well, I've been in the market to buy a portable printer for my Laptop when I am traveling and vacationing. We don't talk much about printers on this list but I am sure some of you use them... As a Duo owner, small is good... (1) I am considering using a plain vanilla Stylewriter printer as a "portable". Take off the Cut sheet feeder, and it's pretty darn small. I suppose that it's relatively cheap for me to go this route.... (2) What I really want is a truly portable printer. My criteria by preference: simple; compact and light; battery powered; color capable; amount of Cable/adapter mess So far, my favorite is the Pentax Pocket Jet I It's a thermal printer which uses special cut sheet paper. It will run off a battery for 30+ prints, requires no ink and will use a simple Mac modem cable with an HP Laserjet driver. 300dpi B&W and extremely tiny. The Portable Stylewriters are always in high demand and expensive. the ink's pricey too. So I think not... The Deskjet 300 series seem to be compatible with the right cable (or I suppose my Power Print cable will work too). they fold out really nicely into a larger-format size. Which model do you like? What's the average price? how expensive are ink carts? By the way, Something which got lost from the era of the "luggables" was piggyback printing. There were some VERY nice and small 8 or 9 pin dot matrix printers made to fit a small area They actually were hooked up to the back of a laptop. No extra power cable, no print cable... Would have been neat to get a Docking printer for my Duo... ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
