    Mobile printers in the field

    Has anyone used any mobile printers - maybe even battery powered.

    Specifically we are using a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 tablet and would like to print inspection forms in the field.

    Yes - I used a Canon iP100 and it was a genuinely awful experience.

    You won't find any mobile printer that works as good as a Zebra one.

    Well - a sales rep at Brother is sending me a printer to play with - very nice of him!

    Re: Mobile printers in the field

    That printer doesn't handle 8.5 x 11 paper - does it?

    I just got the Brother printer in the mail today!

    Re: Mobile printers in the field

    Good info - just doesn't match my requirements.

    I need 8.5 x 11 inch capability - we are printing full page inspection reports.
