I love this little bugger. Uses thermal paper so it never needs ink! Prints off a roll (inside the printer) or individual sheets. Prints by serial port or infared -- runs on AA batteries or AC... Resolution is 400 DPI -- pixel graphics don't print that great mostly because of registration (like back in the old dot matrix days) but text is nice and crisp... If you use the infared and batteries and the roll paper pretty much there's no mess -- I was reading that this is a good printer to use if you're in some extreme weather -- this thing will print from inside a ziplock baggy or whatever else you can think of -- scuba diving? :1orglaugh

There's few moving parts and these things are supposed to last forever.

that's really sweet

my science teacher had a color laser printer a few years ago that was about 10x5x5... amazing little thing.

That's super cool. I love toys I just got a new mp3 player. Loving it!

:thumbsup

Nice :thumbsup

Congrats I guess.

Nice. Now it's on your desk. Next year... it's on your desk. Never used. You can sell it then to some gadget collector, who puts it on his desk for a year, and then...

:thumbsup

:thumbsup cute!

What exactly are you going to print with that thing? Its too small to do standard 8.5 x 11.... business cards maybe? receipts?

I haven't used a printer in a couple years now... but I just joined this club for writers and so I need to start printing my work for critiques... also I'm going to use this for various creative promotional stuff where the novelty of the wierd paper won't be a problem, maybe some personal letters to family/friends... Nothing too serious... If I need to do full size stuff I can do 200% photocopies.
