Sorry Christian, I've officially derailed this thread
Here's a couple affordable mini camera printers if anyone on the portal is interested:
Not exactly a hi-def printer, especially @ 2X3 prints, but for pictures you'll be giving out for free it's not a bad price...and I LOVE it in this color

Up to 4"x8" photos that are water resistant & supposedly last "100 years", little more of an investment though

From what I've found, scanner/printers aren't really produced with the traveler in mind. They're some reallly nice (really spendy) scanners & printers that are very compact, but nothing with both features in the same package.I was looking for a nice small unit that could fit in the back of our car, but didn't really find any. Do you guys know of a unit that could be a good alternative? (just curious about size and features...)

We decided a while ago that we are definitely bringing a compact camera printer. Since they're somewhat of a novelty item, they really don't cost much. They can be had for under $100, even as low as $25 used. I feel it's worth the investment for the same reasons you mention Luis...giving pictures to kids or family's who've never had a picture to keep for themselves. The personal cards is a great recommendation. Good way to swap info with other travelers...We considered a small portable Canon printer that digital warriors use, I even tested it out. Pretty nice. We thought about using it in combination with a Neatreceipts portable scanner, but in the end it proved an extra expense we could not bear. It would be nice to be able to print photos for people along the way, especially local kids who still love our digital camera. It would also be nice to have the scanner for receipts and hotel cards, even personal cards of other travelers we have met (I highly recommend making cards with your website and email).
