Okay, here's the task:

I want to connect this printer to my Mac laptop and print Word files. 
These word files will contain mostly black-on-white text.  However, they 
will also contain full colour photographs.  The photographs will be of 
medical things (rashes, broken arms, etc), taken with a $500 digital 
camera with flash.

The printer must be:

1.  Portable.  I want to put this, the consumables, and my laptop into a 
backpack and be able to carry it around.

2.  It would be nice to be able to print larger than 4 by 6 inches. 
Ideally I'd print on a size a bit smaller than A4 so I can stickytape 
the output to existing A4 forms.

3.  Cost of the unit up to around $500.

Quality of the image is not such a big deal - any current model will 
print as well as I want it to.  Also, running costs are relatively 
trivial.  Speed of printing's not really an issue either.
