Good Points

That it is lightweight


Bad Points

The IRDA port will NOT work with Windows XP, poor print quality, especially in color, not somthing you would want to use on a professional document. Plus all the customer reviews from CNet have been NEGATIVE


General Comments

I would NOT recommend buying this printer, I would go with the current HP Portable printer instead, as the IRDA will NOT work with windows XP and the BJC 55 will not work at all with windows XP, so that only leaves Canon's Heavy (over 8lbs) printer that is also a photo printer which prints directly from your digital camera and some bluetooth enabled cell phones. I must say I would NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRINTER, if you need to save money go with the older HP that is currently selling for $99.00 But to find the BEST prices go under Yahoo and type in "Discount prices for portable computers" and some stores will come up, one being Tigerdirect.com which has GREAT DEALS on some of their printers some at 70% off

    You must be doing something wrong. i have both printers both working with Win XP and give excellent results when printing photos or presentation docs.

    You have to be careful with the bjc 55 when loading the paper but apart from that they are fantastic

    I think this person works for HP, or Tigerdirect. I've had my BJC-80 since 1998, I think, and it still works perfectly. You can't expect professional quality from a machine as small as this.

    This and the BJC 50/55 work with XP with or without IR the drivers come with XP its obvious you've never tried.
