- <en>Portable printer, rather small, but the BJC 50/55
- printers are smaller, it prints "Perfectly" with free
- software. The scanning facility with an optional
- scanning cartridge is not supported by
- free software drivers.<p>
-
- Parallel, USB and <a href="http://www.physiol.usyd.edu.au/daved/linux/bjc-80.html">IRDA</a> ports (all working),
- optional battery pack, automatic feeder for up to
- 30 sheets. If it is too big for you, use the
- ultra-portable BJC-50/55 which are principally
- the same printer but without sheet feeder.
- Note that the cartridges
- are rather small, and so the expenses per page are
- probably very high. So you should buy this printer
- only if you really need to print when you are on
- travel. In addition, the resolution is lower than
- the resolution of most modern desktop inkjets.<p>
-
- The Canons are the best solution for portable
- printing with free software. They are small and
- light, have a reasonable resolution and speed and
- their printing capabilities are fully supported.
- The portables of HP are rather heavy and the
- Brother MP-21C (PCMCIA) is a "Paperweight".<p>
-
- To get the best quality out of it for all kinds of
- printing jobs (text, drawings, photos), use the
- "gutenprint"
- (former Gimp-Print) driver. Then you
- get photo printouts with a quality close to the
- quality of the Epson Stylus Color 440. The "bjc600"
- works well for text and drawings, but has problems
- with photos.<p>
-
- The BJC-80 is the same printer but without USB.</en>
