It went into service 1/1/06, and has worked well with no problems. They are pricey little buggers ($300), but will print quickly and in color if you need it. I use this U.S. Luggage case for regular service calls: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ontimesupplies.com/Ballistic_Nylon_Rolling_Notebook_Computer_and_Printer_Case_skugroup_27527.html">http://ontimesupplies.com/Ballistic_Nylon_Rolling_Notebook_Computer_and_Printer_Case_skugroup_27527.html</a> It holds the printer, laptop, muting felts, mutes, AccuFork, PDA, Reyburn CyberHammer, Fujan, tool roll, and various tools (adj wrench, lid prop, etc). There are dividers and lots of space for brochures (Dampp Chaser, PTG bulletins, etc). The downside is the weight, but there are wheels and telescoping handle. The upside is getting all the invoicing and bookwork done on site, which for me has been well worth it as I'm a total procrastinator and would end up with a week's worth of written invoices to enter in the computer at home. Ugh! With PTBiz, it only takes about 2-5 minutes to print an invoice, enter service data, etc. I use a bluetooth dongle that plugs into the USB port (on clearance for $15). However, if you're looking into a new laptop, some of them come with the option of built-in Bluetooth, and I'd recommend that (like an extra $25 on a Dell). Generally I like the setup, but am looking at ways to reduce the weight. That extra 6 pounds from the laptop adds up; hence, the idea of using a Pocket PC for invoicing. I looked at a few sites this morning, and there is invoicing software for PocketPC, but it doesn't sync with what I use, so I would be back to entering the same data at home. Also another option instead of a regular laptop is this: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2825457&CatId=219">http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2825457&CatId=219</a> It's a bridge between a PDA and laptop, would run regular PC software. Another one like it is the Samsung Q1, which has longer battery life. In fact, that would totally solve my problem, and allow me to use my current software. Hmm...I may have just talked myself into another toy, er -- business expense. <g> More info than you asked about, but it might be helpful to someone else.

I'm considering getting a new laptop, and such a printer would be nice as well. I'm considering the Canon i90 but the bluetooth adapter is (according to the Canon site) another $80.
