right,
the situation: popping out to france for a few weeks, stoppin in me holiday home, the father has decided he needs todo some email'in n' some trigger happy printing, no idea what for, probably due to some business venture hes just gone into in france or something...
anyway, basically i need to find a way to hook up a laptop (got a few to choose from luckily ;>) to firstly, a portable printer (pref fit in lappy bag for hand luggage on a plane) and secondly, the net .. without any phone lines. (oh noes!)
for the printer, looking at a cannon BJ-50 ? or maybe the Canon Bubble Jet I80 Portable ? and the only other one i found was a HP DeskJet 350C. (yes i know this isnt the right section for printers i guess, but its all about connectivity and such :> , any experiance with any of those, or recommendations welcomed..(all the printers were found on ebuyer.com)
as for the interweb, spent a while searching round the intarweb, google, full of yank sites, managed to find that "vodafone mobile connect" card, the nokia site advertisess a mobile laptop card too (nowhere to be found if you wana buy one though?), other solutions ive come up with were making use of mobiles, bluetooth and such ? ive got a few 6210's i could use to link up somehow, not sure how though .. :| apparently they have a modem built in, so somehow its possible to connect through it, or the final (and costly) solution was something along the lines of a new phone w/ bluetooth & a bluetooth pda, for fetching data, and then bluetooth it down to the lappy.
<breathe>...</breathe>
so erm, ideas, advice, experiance? anything welcome :>
thanks .. oh and "JUST USE A NET CAFE!" is really not very helpful ;x
-arsen :>
