I found an old HP deskjet 1000 at a thrift store that takes a plain 12v dc
power supply. I got it for the same goal, to power it straight off the car.
Haven't bothered to search for ink yet

I have a pop-can shaped inverter that fits nicely in a cup holder. It's not
so powerful it they causes problems with power draw. On really hot days, I
plug a fan in so I can pretend I'm ok with not having air conditioning.

That is the way to go. I have a 2nd battery in the van, there is a Anderson
power pole hanging off of that battery and a bunch of breakers for other
devices. I try to use the receptacles for low power quick use things.

Yep. I've most recently run an FT-857D off the receptacle but at reduced
power. Ran full power for a bit just to see what would happen but
quickly backed off. Use a direct battery tap for serious work. 73.

Be careful drawing that much power out of a cigarette lighter. The
connection will get hotter than a pistol! It is not meant to handle that
much current for more than a minute or so at time. 3 or 4 amps is a good
long term maximum, which is still 40 or 50 watts. Been there ... done
that. -Dave.
I solved this kind of portability, and more, by purchasing an inverter.
I find that way more universal than trying to get stuff working on
battery power with unstable voltage. True 110V socket in the car is
awesome for road and marine trips. The size of the inverter is about
15x20x5cm.

Battery printers have existed for many decades Michael but I wouldn't
know where to refer you today. Household appliance repairmen and others
carry them on the job for tech analysis reports and receipts. Should not
be too hard to find an OEM. Someone here should know. -Dave.

Good to know. What would be really great is to find a similar printer that
would run from 12VDC. I'd like to set up a completely portable fly-away
package that ran from 12VDC to utilize battery/vehicle/solar power.

I find that cups will support anything that supplies a ppd file. On the
printers at work, we found the ppd file in the mac drivers package for the
canon printers.

Thanks Tyrell for that valuable link. I will also take a closer look at
HPLIP with regard to some other printers here.

It's been a while since I plugged in my HP printer... I have one of the

so Laser printers are better suited to my needs... But when I was

Hi Tom-
Thanks for your thoughts.
I have owned a LOT of printers over the years. Starting with an early
Centronics in the '70s that sounded like washing machine and cost a
fortune! Also had an Epson MX-80 before it was released to the public. .
Then wrote the tutorial book that went in the box
I am great fan of HP printers and multifunction devices - because they
just work on Linux (with some rare exceptions).
My current one HP 8600, in the past: HP 3510, HP 1505N, .
Generally, it just prints and also scans with some minor love.
I have also owned Epson C88 (I think) - the printer wor
That sounds about my speed for this application, Michael. I assume it is

I bought a little HP printer at Wal-Mart for <$50. Has both USB and
wireless. Also scans. Printed from RPI via wireless just fine. I'll look up
model later when I get a chance.

I'm looking to buy a a small cheap inkjet printer to dedicate to a
Raspberry Pi. USB connect, no multipurpose, and actually has a driver in
the CUPS list. Ideas appreciated.
