    My car is really my office everyday. I bought the Canon ip90 which is bluetooth and I'm very happy with it. I just plug it into an adapter that my car has in the back seat for power and I'm ready to go. I have to print digital pics and regular text all day and its no problem. I go through alot of ink because of the pictures and I use the cheap generic inks for it. I know, bad, bad, but I never have any problems with clogged heads so far. May be a problem down the road but if so, the printer head is only $50 for a new one and the money I save on ink far out weighs that. Now the printer you can get for about $200 but the bluetooth adapter is another $80 and the car adapter is $75. So it can get expensive. So approx. $350 for the setup but it is sweet. Do a search on epinions or cnet and you will see the reviews. By the way, the generic inks are about $1.35 for the black and $1.50 for the color. Hard to beat.

    I would just get a generic adapter. That way, you can use any printer, and if you get a new printer, just transfer it over.
