    You do not need a portable printer with wifi, you need one with bluetooth. You also do not need a pure sine wave inverter for a printer. Its not considered a sensitive electronic device.

    you can buy wireless printers anywhere. walmart has them as cheap as 60 bucks.

    all you need is 200 watts for printer and laptop charging. i run a 400 watt as i run a couple of fans also.

    i don't know about the bluetooth though. have yet to see a bluetooth printer, but i haven't been shopping since i bought mine 2 years ago. i don't see how you would program the code but since i don't have one. i don't know the instructions for connection.

    i use mine wifi through my phones mobile hotspot capabilities.
