[DM-MUG] Printing in a no-grid situation

[AB]

travel printer. HP, canon, and epson all offer one (and I literally mean 1) in the $270-350 price
range. the cartridges are inkjet, smaller, and more expensive. they break easily so don't be rough
on them. The quality of print is about the same across the board, don't expect too be wowed. but
they do a good job with documents. some recent models offer wireless features.
