Printers for the HP 95LX Graphic

A look at four light-weight, battery powered printers for on the road, or at home: The Canon bubble Jet 10e, the Citizen PN48, the Diconix 180si, and the Seiko DPU-411.

Introduction by Rich Hall

We continue to receive letters asking which printers are most suitable for the HP 95LX. Portability, ease of use, print quality, and price were the key issues in our minds, so we looked at battery-powered portable printers under 5 lbs. that could connect easily to the 95LX. Two of the printers discussed have serial ports and can connect directly to the 95LX. The others have parallel ports and must use a serial-to-parallel adapter to connect to the 95LX.

What follows is the experience of different 95LX users. If any subscriber has feedback on these, or other printers, please drop us a line.

One final note on list price. Manufacturer's suggested retail price and "street price" may vary 25% or more, so you may want to shop around!
