I got lots of questions about all those inexpensive eComStation- and OS/2 Warp-compatible printers in my previous reports. For example, road warriors wonder about whether there's a good deal on a portable printer.
The Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 350C looks like a great choice at just $99.99 -- half the usual price. Here's the web site for this deal:

IBM's OMNI driver supports this printer well, and it's probably the best compromise between portability, quality, speed, and flexibility. A parallel port interface is standard, and so is a 30-sheet feeder. This model is still current in HP's lineup.
I believe this printer comes with two inkjet cartridges, worth about $60 all by themselves. But check the cost of supplies. (Inkjet printing is often expensive.) You may wish to investigate ink refill kits to save money.
As always, I have no affiliation with these companies.
