Canon BJC-80 Portable Printer Reviews

Summary: works just fine
Comment: I read a couple of the reviews here, and was honestly a little doubtful, if I should really purchase this printer. I did anyway, because I couldn't resist the bargain. I have to say, it works perfectly. Didn't make strange noises, or give up on me. I am very happy with it. The print quality is not excellent, as to be expected from a tiny little machine like this, so I don't print my resumes with it, but for stuff on the go, it's perfect. I am very, very satisfied.

Summary: Owned BJC-80 since 1997 and still going!!!!
Comment: Just had to order a new cartridge holder for the color ink, but it is still going strong. I took it out of storage as I need it on the road. It's a great printer and light. I have backup battery. Can't use infared as current laptop does not have it. Would highly recommend it to anyone.

Summary: BJC-80 printer
Comment: i've been using one of these robust little printing contraptions, on again off again, in vanilla mode (black ink only and no batteries), for years. most BJC-80 probs are home fixable and are related to ink catridge and/or printhead drying; a Q-Tip, a little alcohol and test printing (for head cleaning purposes) usually saves the day. the black ink cartridges are relatively economical and they can be home refilled for more economy yet. the BJC-80 is the model-T of portable printers and it is very portable, indeed. a a good solution for hands on people who travel and need hard copy

Summary: Piece of Junk
Comment: As I read prior reviews I was amazed to find that they comment so positively on durability as my experience was exactly the opposite. Last year I purchased two of these and both stopped functioning within a month. In both cases was a mechanical problem where motor and drive mechanism which moved print head stopped functioning properly....would try to print but print head stayed stuck in start up position.

Like most people who travel enough to need a portable printer I am too busy to stay on hold for 20 minutes on help line or argue with someone at Staples why I no longer have box on something I want to return or exchange.

I would steer clear of this one....however for what little time it did work it does print very good quality. It is light, very compact and frankly I thought print speed was more than acceptable. Only problem was occasional jam on feed ....if it would actually work would be a fantastic piece of equipment.

Summary: African Missionary
Comment: This little portable, dual-voltage printer has lasted and lasted. I use it in Africa in our Bible training school and it has never let me down. It prints handouts, overhead transparencies and course completion certificates with ease and clarity. As far as carrying it in my suitcase on the plane, there's no problem because the lid closes and it makes a hard-shell case. My BJC-80 comes with a parallel port, but for $35.00 or so you can buy a cable that will adapt it to a USB port.
