Wireless networking hardware uses radio frequencies to transmit information between the individual computers; each computer requires a wireless network adapter. A wireless network hub or router is used to bridge the wireless network to traditional ethernet or home phoneline networks, or provide a shared Internet connection.

What's so nice about a portable printer?

That isn't too hard to see. You get a fairly easy to carry printer that doesn't weigh many pounds that can operate through an AC adapter, car adapter, or NiCd, NiMH, or Lithium Ion battery. It makes it easy to print a document just about anywhere. On top of that, you can set up most portables to act as a home office printer as well. These few advantages tend to outweigh what the user's own needs are in deciding towards a portable printer.

Ok, that's cool! So who cares about the problems of a portable printer!?

Well, you should! The fact of the matter is that portable printers give you much less bang for your buck compared to a desktop printer with the same print output quality. For example, the HP DeskJet portable costs more to buy. The desktop equivalent is a low end DeskJet series printer which is less than a $100! You are getting a printer with a slower print speed with poorer print output for your money. Ink cartridges can also be more expensive since these cartridges need to fit into a smaller form factor than a desktop printer.

The Sony's DPP-SV77 printer brings you the greatest flexibility and ease of use. With its built-in 3.2" color LCD monitor, you can view, edit and enlarge images right on the printer's fold-up screen, without connecting to a PC or television monitor.

Desktop printers also tend to have more features than similarly priced portable printers. The DeskJet allows for duplex printing as well as high speed output and great photo-quality prints.

Decide what you want from your wireless printer!

What to do?

Before you decide on which portable printer, you have to evaluate your own needs. If you need high quality printer output with a good print speed, then look at a desktop printer. If you think you need portability, then evaluate the needs of your travel. If it is between home and office, then consider other low cost but high quality desktop printers from Epson, HP, Canon, Lexmark, etc. You will find that there are excellent printers out there where you can purchase 2 maybe even 3 of those models for the price of a portable printer. If you do alot of traveling to other cities, decide on the level of detail that the printer can provide, and determine whether the places you are traveling to have office services for printing.
