While
laptop computers are meant to be portable, until recently printers were
not. However, small laptop printers have been created in recent years
to help solve this problem. These devices are designed to be small enough
to fit easily into a computer bag.
Modern laptop printers can be connected to your computer through various
means. The most common method entails connecting through the USB port
on your laptop. Bluetooth connections are also used, and have the advantage
of being wireless.
Many laptop printers can be powered through disposable batteries. However,
in most cases they can also be plugged into a wall outlet or a car cigarette
lighter. This means that they can be used from nearly any location.
