    Does anyone use a mobile (on the go Fax)? I would like to get one in my truck to ease the hustle at the TS. What is the best brand?

    You need to get an all in one printer/fax/copier. I have used HP for a number of years with no major problems. I recently has a problem with one in the truck and decided to buy a Cannon. So far, so good. I have spent as much as $300 for a single printer. Prices are now less than $100. Most any of them will do a good job for you. I prefer one with auto feed. You will need to subscribe to one of the efax services such as eFax or MyFax. I pay about $10/month. You will also need an air card, WiFi or other means to get on the internet. These work through your email. I would highly recommend HP. A printer takes quite a beating sitting in a truck bouncing around on these roads. Had I found what I wanted at the time, I would have purchased another HP. As it was, I bought the Cannon. I think that I only paid about $69. HP is usually a little more expensive, but they do last.

    I bought a new air printer and can't figure out how to get the printer to "SEE" my wifi..ugh guess I'll have to read the darn instructions now. I just bought one for home and it was so easy to set up,that I bought another one for the truck,but I'm using it with my iPad,so can't download c.d. If anyone knows help before I have to revert to the endless instructions.:biggrin_2552:

    google is your friend.

    the rest of us don't use an air printer. we use wifi or cable. LOL.

    the only way i've been able to get my printer to print wireless. is through my cell phone hot spot.

    if your hot spot works like mine. it changes ip address everytime i use the hotspot.

    every time i want to print wirelessly. i have to install the printer software so it can configure for the ip address.

    i just stick with the cable now.
