RE: [A/S] Printers on the road

I think ours are wireless as well (at least the HP and Fijitsu..but it takes
me 2 seconds to hook up.we did not want a permanent large printer so these
items stow easily...they are made for traveling...they come in nifty little
cases...cords are separate and they take up very little room...we used them
last summer for 3 months when we covered over 11,000 miles and had a variety
of internet challenges..they were flawless..but if you want an all in
one...these won't be that. Wish you well.

Hi Paula,

This has some attraction in that if an individual component fails, you still
have the others. I'll try to find them on Amazon. I do like the idea of a
wireless system, however. Other than a copier, I doubt I'll be doing
anything that will require a bulk paper feed.

Thanks!
