alf stone Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 :-S I brought with me my canon i90 which is a battery printer or 220v i brought lots of new cartridges but after just six seven weeks they dont work and i cant buy them in France except online :-S I thought id buy a HP DJ 1050 which costs 59€ hear or 49€ from Darty Agen the Lexmar is better but the ink costs the double Will a home printer survive being driven about? I chose the all in one in case this laptop fails.Ive downloaded the drivers i hope *-) If it dosnt work from the laptop i can still copy 49€ http://www.darty.com/nav/achat/informatique/imprimante_scanner-imprimante_jet_encre/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJay Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 We have a small Canon Bubble Jet printer, donkeys years old, so don't suppose they still make them. Still have it , not used for years, so may be can not buy cartridges. I think I will get it out and see if it works,. We also have a Canon Selphy which prints photos to post card size We take this in van and instead of buying post cards (being a bit mean) to send, we send our photos to the family and friends in envelopes, I think they get there quicker as well. I know this dosen't answer you question, to which I reply dont really know But thanks for reminding me about portable printers. PJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindiboy Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 We carry our HP all in one 1400 printer in our van and it has been no problem, it is a bit bulky but we have the storage, we get our ink cartridges refilled at a local outlet, more ink in them than original and less money too.I was told by our refiller place that some ink cartridges now have micro chips in them and the printers will only accept original cartridges, but I expect there is a way round that.

Wiggy Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hi Alf I have just replaced an Epson printer that I carried around in the van with me with a new Kodak all in one printer / copier / scanner, I keep it in the garage and it does a real good job and cartridges are much cheaper Cost about £60 her in the UK if you shop around Wiggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alf stone Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 The HP 450 ive seen prints far better than the canon i think the i90 is popular as its smaller the battery bigger & the B&W prints are lot faster i almost bought the HP :-S The lidle price is very good.

lennyhb Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I have an HP 460 the battery holds it's charge for ages great bit of kit, latest version is a 470. I wouldn't use a standard home printer they don't seal the cartridges as well as a dedicated portable one & you can end up with a right mess with ink everywhere.

alf stone Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 As my travel plans have changed i wont be buying the the "all in one" i collect more cartridges for the i90 Both the HP & cannon with batteries are far to expensive i wont replace mine at least i don't think i will Size wise there both great & i do like the battery the cannon battery also keeps its charge for weeks & longer B-) I would like one that i can print photos with good color It would be bad if the ink leaked For the moment no change for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
