It's the size of a small pencil box, and only 1.1 lbs. with battery, and the only disadvantages are that it requires thermal paper (you can get the flat sheets from Pentax and some suppliers), but each sheet costs only 8 cents each, no matter what's on it. I have had it for almost 2 years now, and have even dropped it on a tile floor that my 701 would have never survived, and it only made a chip in the case, and a lens for one of the LED status indicators fell out (I found it soon after!). It's also HP LaserJet IIp compatible, and support original LaserJet emulation. Check it out. When I was first looking for a portable printer, I thought about the HP 340, but it's very bulky, sort of noisy, and the cartridges are EXPENSIVE (for how long they last!). I think their web site is www.pentax.com, but I don't know for sure, since I've never been there. Later, Paul
