This printer does what I purchased it for to print boarding passes. I got it to work in Windows 7 32 bit version, the driver will not work on the 64 bit version. First download the printer driver from [...]. Add a new Generic Local Printer and select Have Disk. Browse to the folder [...] and select file PPrtA6.inf. I renamed my printer to Pocket Printer A6. In the printers Printing Defaults Options, under Image Settings set the Image to 50% Reduction. Select IR for the Port. If your computer doesn't have an IR port purchase a Syba SD-U1IRDA-NM USB Fast Infra-Red Adapter. I purchased one with my printer. Print a Test Page. It works!

This little printer is just the thing to have with you when you are away from your at home larger printer. It prints in B/W only but it does graphics decently for it's size and printing ability. I had to buy two though because the 1st arrived defective but was taken care of in a professional manner. I like the fact that it prints on thermal paper and never needs a ribbon or ink cartridge. Some will tell you that it only works with hand held devices but with the right drivers, I got it to work with my Net book running Windows 7 and my regular laptop running Vista.

For the price and portability, it can't be beat.

Disappointed in print speed, painfully slow over Infrared from Treo 700p Smartphone.

Unit had AC adapter with European plug.

Appears to have been on the shelf a long time.

Not a bad little product for portable use, the thermal printing is an added feature if you are packing light.Can use roll or sheet paper. easily purchased.
