Unless you just can't risk being without the capability to print on the go,
you might think about PowerPrint. I've been traveling with PowerPrint
succesfully for years. When I go into another office or hotel, I simply plug
into whatever printer they have, PC or Mac, select the appropriate emulation
and print away. No one has ever had a problem with me doing this. In a pinch I
have run into the local Kinko's where they usually have Mac printers galore.
And talk about portable! It's one cable! See my other comments about the
DeskJet300.

You might try eBay for this one.

I had a HP DJ300. You won't like the quality unless you are just looking for
drafts on the raod. Cost is reasonable, but not for the quality you get.

This is great! I never heard about this, but that would have been a great
docking station option for the Duo. A MiniDock configuration with all of your
ports and a built-in printer! No more fumbling with cables! Now THIS is
something no other powerbook can easily do!
