    If you have an HP printer, you can download their app and print wirelessly.

    I use the HP Deskjet 3752 all in one printer. It is 5.4" tall x 7" deep x 15.8" wide. I forget what it cost, I think around $60 at Wal-Mart. I don't really print much, just use it to transflo documents.

    HP Mobile 150 or HP mobile 100, they have rechargeable battery that last few months.
    With them you also need HP 1200w adapter and you can pair printer with any phone or laptop.

    I use an HP 7520 with eprint. It can multiple docs in just a few seconds and has photo printing also. I have used this particular model for the past 5 years with no problems.

    Brother Pocket Jet 6 wireless and inkless. Uses thermal paper. Same as Smokey Bear uses. Can't print color. Black and white is all I need. Paper cost about 20 bucks for 1200 sheets. Wireless or use with usb cable.
    New it cost $300 used I bought 2 at state auction cost $75 used. Will sell. plus shipping.
    I used ink cartridge for years. Problem with them and the northern winter the ink would freeze and not last very long.
    Good luck

    Problem with thermal paper is that documents fade over time which is why I prefer using a toner cartridge because once the document is printed you can put it in storage and you don't have to worry about it fading in case you get audited by the IRS 5 years later. Seems like you can get the most amount of pages printed for the least amount of money using a toner cartridge. Those small cheap inkjet printers might seem like a bargain at $59 at Walmart but once you realize how many pages you can print before it runs out of ink and how expensive those ink cartridges are it's not so much of a bargain anymore.
    I'd like to see an inkjet printer with refillable containers built into the unit that you simply pour the ink into without having to drill a hole into the cartridge to refill it.

    True about the thermal printing fading over time. I use my printer in truck for permits and rate sheets, That kind of stuff. All paperwork in regards to taxes are saved in email or printed at home.
