Advantages: very light and small, add on scanner Disadvantages: bad helpdesk
I recently bought this printer because I wanted a printer that I can carry around together with laptop without having to carry an extra bag.
I had a good look at various portable printers and decided to choose this particular because of its light weight, infrared device (saves messing with the cables) and the add on option of a scanner.
I found the printing speed and quality to be satisfactory considering the small device.

So for now I make do with having to press the printer icon, then waiting for a window to pop up to prompt me to insert a sheet of paper and after inserting you will need to press the OK button again. This is quite painful, especially because if you should insert the paper before you are prompted to do so, pure chaos will break out. I usually have to actually switch the printer off to continue.

I take it into hospital whenever I go in now so that I can keep up to date with any correspondence. It is very convenient as it can be charged and then used off battery leaving you with one less cable to cope with.

One other disadvantage of this printer is that it is quite noisy when printing colour. I like the cartridge containers as they are simple to use and also quite clean, no inky fingers unlike some other print cartridges. All in all it is a good buy if you are looking for a compact reliable printer. ...
