Hi :)
Does anyone use or know of good portable/mobile printers to carry with you when
you have to work-on-the-move? I have already asked at LinuxQuestions but many
of my company's outreach workers use Windows. Anyway, here's the LQ thread ...
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/mobile-printers-4175444990/
We are hoping to prepare a funding application detailing how much it would cost to
provide 1 outreach workers with a tablet and a printer and then we can show how much we
need for all of them or how many we could "make do with". Obviously it takes a
long time for funders to respond and even if successful the money takes even longer to
arrive so i'm not looking for cheapest one-off deals. I'm looking for reasonably
reliable models and manufacturers and then i can look-up how much they cost.
I've had a lot of questions about printers generally this year and they always
seem to be a pita to look after. So, on LQ i am hoping to start a poll to find
which manufacturer people prefer. Unfortunately i can only think of a very
few; Hewlett Packard, Cannon, Brother, Oki and Ricoh. I feel like i am missing
some very obvious ones. If you can think of any please can you let me know in
this thread or at LQ

Any suggestions?

I guess the obvious question is what type ( and size - no. of pages) of
documents will users print? This will influence what options are
reasonable. Another issue is are they stationary when they are working
such as at a client's office all day(s) or they constantly moving during
the day - my concern is weight and size. For the former you might get by
with a small, cheap inkjet printer readily available at Walmart in the
US. For the latter, I do not have any good ideas particularly if it must
be battery powered.
Option two is to create and email a pdf document.
