    Portable scanner could be difficult.

    The only two portable printers I know off are from Canon and from HP.

    I havn't used them though.

    In my experience Canon prints well - we have a "standard sized" Canon printer at home.

    I rarely know of a portable scanner and printer. Usually, they come in bulk packages...

    get a portable printer and a small but good digital photo, like a Sony Cybershot T... or similar device, much better than any portable scanner.

    Canon or HP make a portale printer.

    I wouldn't recommend a webcam - their image quality tends not to be the best.

    -I agree. It would be best to have separate gadget (i.e. a portable printer and a good digicam) rather than having them in one which, more often than not, yields mediocre, if not poor, quality :)
