Summary: Canon BJC-85, great little printer
Comment: This is a great printer for a great price! Very portable, reliable, great quality. Not the fastest ink jet in the world, but that's not the priority. If your second office is the coffee shop, you will love this little printer.

Summary: Great tool for the portable office
Comment: As soon as I got this printer, I knew I was in love. My company gave me the updated P90 but I never use it. I like the fact that you can put in a black only printhead, thus saving time and money replacing just the little black ink tank. I also use the IS12 scanner to scan and copy documents. I also have the battery kit, which makes me completely wireless! Overall a great printer at an excellent price.

Summary: Great, while it lasted
Comment: I bought a BJC-85 used last year for taking to court with me. I used it once. I was tickled! Its stayed in my office since then, as I've had to reason to use it. When I did, it kept giving me an error message. I took it out yesterday to try to figure out what was wrong: I get an error about an incorrect cartridge or some such nonsense. It had the canon black cartridge in it. The same one it printed from last time. So I am not a happy camper. I actually tried putting a new cartridge in, with same result. When I can get the cartridge button to actually make it move the cartridge to the middle to have access.

Summary: Great Portable Color Printer
Comment: I use this printer while working away from a desk. You can take it anywhere you take your laptop and it gives you professional, crisp, quality colored documents.

The printer is light-weight and the color cartridges are reasonably priced.

Totally functional. I literally work while in bed with my laptop and this printer. And this printer will fit in any laptop bag.

An excellent quality printer for the size, weight, maintenance and upkeep value.

Summary: A real pain to get it to work
Comment: I purchased two of these on Ebay just to get one complete working unit. I can't say I'm too pleased with it. It's noisy and does an awful lot of clicking and clacking to start, print a page, or shut down. The error light seems to come on too often, and figuring out what's wrong with it is a real challenge. The cartridge replacement is a hassle and if you're not fast enough the cartridge returns to its home position and won't come back out. The combination of buttons you need to push to get it out again is ridiculous (e.g., one of the steps involves pushing the cartridge button 16 times! No kidding!) The battery dies in a few days even if the printer is turned off; I guess there's some power consumption even when it's off. Besides, it's about twice the size and weight of the BJC-50. Let's just say, I'm still looking for a solution to my portable printing needs.
