The Hewlett Packard DeskJet 340 CBi is the version with an IR option (in the UK). Its
portable, though much larger than some of the ultra lightweight printers. The printer
itself performs reasonably well (but I haven't tried the IR version), though I am led to
believe that the colour printing is not as good as the Canon BJC 70.
Just for the record (and in case anyone has the ear of HP or can come up with any
suggestions) I'm not best pleased with HP at the moment having bought the DeskJet
690c to use with my TP (755cx) because it was advertized (both by the retailers and in
its own manual) as being OS/2 compatible and photo printing capable. However, since
there are still no OS/2 drivers available from either HP or IBM (after many (charged)
phone calls, web sites and a BBS) and consequently I am unable to make use of the
photo print cartridge and photo paper I bought with it at vast cost (though I can
manage basic printing tasks). Both HP and IBM assign responsibility for the drivers to
the other, and the European HP customer relations centre (or whatever it calls itself)
has yet to reply to my letter asking what they mean by OS/2 compatible (the same
adjective they use for MS Windows), nearly a month later.
I have to say, though, that this is my first bad experience with HP.
