Regarding the use of a portable Printer

I have the cheapest all in one printer I could find. I buy at Walmart for around $30.00. It is not a portable printer and is stored away when not in use. Every winter I have occasion to use it to either print or scan. Once had to sign and return a document to a real estate agent and I just pulled over fired up the genny and completed my business ez peze. NO HASSLES. IN addition I used it to print out my wife's boarding pass when she returned home to her family for Christmas. I have used it for other purposes as well including Groupons and Restaurant.com certificates.

Same here. I bought an Epson NX230 that was on sale for $30 and fits in an overhead cabinet. When I need to use it I just take it down and print. Potable printers are way more than I want to spend on something that I use "on occasion". YMMV
