    You see all-in-ones with prices all over the darn place. Can someone recommend a decent, affordable machine that can take the rigors of being in a truck and not falling apart the first time you hit a bump? I know consumables (ink cartridges) can play a big part of the equation as well.

    What do y'all suggest?:biggrin_25521:

    i used a HP all-in-one and it did just fine. it was a used 1210.
    i would say the HP units would hold up better than some.

    The IRS agents usually have a printer and laptop combo bag.

    The printers are inkjets and all, but not a model I have seen for sale.

    I have a Cannon i-70 and love it. I believe the new model is an i-90. They are a little spendy ($250 or so) but they are compact and print extremely well (picture quality). I've had mine for 4 years now and have had no problems with it. I pack it in a bag with my computer all the time. It also runs on a battery just like my laptop so I don't have to be plugged in all the time.

    A portable printer that will fit in a laptop bag. I use a HP 450ci injet. Had it for about 3 years now. Don't know if HP still makes them.

    I have a IP90 that I leave in the truck
    Works great
    If you don't use it for a week or so the ink will dry up
    It has a a tool section that will clean the heads
    Well worth the $175.00 I paid a couple of years ago
