.....anyone do printing away from the desktop? Any recommendations?
-
Do you mean remote printing or portable printers?
-
I know HP has some small printers, but they're used for PictBridge cameras, so no PC involved. I'm not sure if they support regular 8.5 x 11 sheets of paper though.

wut? need to elaborate or sumthing.
away from destop as in a laptop and around da house? set up a wireless network.
is a pc involved? -
Yes I have the Belkin wireless print server. It has two usb ports. Works quite nicely with my Samsung LaserJet and Epson InkJet.
-
I have a router that's also a 2-port USB print server. The router is wired but has a wireless access point connected to it, so wireless printing is possible. But I too have the feeling that this is not what kodac had in mind.

Well...if you set up a network you can network the printers that are hooked to the computers individually. I have 2 printers running off my desktop, and I can print from any computer in my house.

dr_st,
Forgot that part. Thanks. -
Kodac,
Since you mentioned in another thread that you need wireless mouse for use in clients' homes, I believe here you probably are referring to portable printers. In that case, you can check out the Pentax PocketJet. My housemate, who is a travelling vet, bought one from PortableOne, so that she can carry to use at clients' home when she does house calls. It is a very nice unit, very small and light, a little over 1 lb. Uses IrDA or USB but no bluetooth. My housemate uses a retractable USB cable to connect to her laptop.
Just note that this unit uses thermal printing, so you have to buy thermal paper. But the pros is that you don't need to buy any ink toner. There are 2 versions, 200 dpi & 300 dpi. My housemate got the 200 dpi which is cheaper, but the print output is already very good and impressive.
She did looked at the Canon i90 before making the purchasing decision but that one is still too big to carry around.
Hope this helps. And here is the link.
