HP Portable DeskJet For Sale
----------------------------

I just purchased a new printer, so I have my Hewlett Packard Portable
DeskJet to sell. For those who are unfamiliar with this model, it's the
predecessor of the HP DeskJet 340 and looks pretty much identical. The
main difference between the Portable DeskJet and the DeskJet 340 is that

the later supports color; the portable is strictly monochrome.
Additionally, the sheet feeder for the Portable DeskJet is larger and a
little more sophisticated than the one for the 340. The printing speed
is the same.

You can find more information on the DeskJet 340 at
http://hpcc923.external.hp.com/peripherals/printers/dj340.html.

The Portable DeskJet does have a font card slot on the side of the
printer, but as far as I'm aware HP never actually released any font
cards for it. The only cards I've ever actually seen were "demo" cards
that dealers had to make sample printouts.

The printer itself is about 13" wide by 6" tall by 3" deep. In this
mode, it only feeds a single sheet at a time. With the cut sheet feeder
(which holds about 50 sheets), you do a bunch of mechanical contortions
to set up the printer; it ends up looking like a "V" on top of a flat
plate, where the "back" of the V holds the paper and the front of the V
is the printer itself. When not in use, you fold the combination flat so

that it ends up being about 9 1/2" tall (other dimensions remain about
the same).

It includes a rechargeable battery (a more or less standard camcorder
battery, although it is the official HP brand one) and 120V AC "brick"
style power supply. The print cartridge installed is pretty new; less
than 50 sheets have been printed with it.

Most operating systems I'm aware of support the printer directly
(Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 3.1, Mac OS 6 and 7), however if yours
doesn't the printer is fully compatible with a DeskJet 500. It's
actually a 550C that ignores color commands, but that's really just
splitting hairs.

For the printer with cut sheet feeder, ink cartridge, AC adapter, and
battery, I'm asking $100 which includes ground shipping to anywhere
within the U.S. If you're verifiably a student, you can have it for $75.
