    My old thermal printer is a Pentax 3. I don't have any cables or accessories for it.
    I do have the bracket that holds paper and printer.

    I now use a Brother brand thermal printer...very similar printers..

    Pentax I think was bought by Brother.

    Old printer uses cable to connect to computer. New one uses cable or Bluetooth.

    Wow. Looks really small. Uses thermal paper? Comes on a roll. Right?

    The problem I had with inkjet printer. The cartridge didn't last especially in the winter.
    Paper cost more with thermal, but it always prints.

    This is the newer printer. Old and new printer about the same size.
    Old bracket is bigger, it has an arm cushion on the top. I bought the Pentax model from police, removed from patrol car.

    What did you end up buying?

    Side note.
    Since this thread was started i have since come to the conclusion that HP has the best app for android.

    I have been using an HP 3752. Its an inkjet I think. I just take it home when I'm going to be out of the truck awhile. It connects wirelessly to my smartphone. I can print permits and such. It can copy, and scan. So I use it every load to scan and email my paperwork to the company. Had it around a year. Has saved me so much time, trouble, and money. I'd buyone a year if needed. But so far this one still works like new. Another of our drivers got one. Then I did. Our company likes that we have them so much, they've started buying them for several of our other trucks.
