Need small printer for travel...
I just purchased a new laptop that came installed with Vista. I'm working
out all the bugs, which have been considerable. Anyway, much of my work requires me to be away from the office and I have the need to print documents in the field. I've used the small Canon Bubblejet printer for a long time and it's served me well. However, it requires the old "printer port" i.e. there's no USB connection...so it won't work with my laptop. Is there a comparable (or better) small printer that can be easily packed for travel? I'm also looking for a small but reliable "sheet fed" scanner that will work with my laptop. I had an Antec sheet fed scanner that I tried to use at one time but it was not reliable at all and I could never get the paper to feed through it without problems. Any suggestions? Thanks.... Barry

Since you seem to be a loyal Canon fan (sounds like me!) how about the new
Pixma iP90v.. http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/co...ode lid=14723 Connects via USB, InfraRed and (optional) Bluetooth, so if your new notebook has BT, you won't even have a cable between printer and notebook. That seems to be the smallest they now manufacture... but I'm not sure how portable 4lbs is. By the time you've got your notebook in its carrying case, perhaps an extra 4lbs won't make much difference. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Technologies - Printing & Imaging http://www.coribright.com/windows "Barry" wrote in message ...
