One of the things I got for Christmas was a Canon i80 inkjet printer. The really nice thing about this printer is that it is very small. It also folds up with no loose pieces to catch on things. That means it fits nicely in a suitcase and reasonably well in the larger of my laptop modified backpacks.
I only use this little guy on trips such as the one I am one now. I am away from home and my co-worker was emailed a file. We needed hard copy of it so we can copy and use it tomorrow. Just the right job for this little printer. Plus we were able to look up some directions and print them out. Sometimes you just want that piece of paper. :-)
