Portable Printer?

Does anyone know of a company that produces and/or sells a portable printer? I need a device that can print from a laptop via USB preferably- on legal size paper. Is there such a thing or should I just invest in a cheap printer with a power inverter for a car?

If I go the power inverter route, any idea of a low power consumption printer? I looked around on a few manufacturers sites and I can't seem to find any power consumption info on the devices. I guess not many people care how many amps their printer is sucking up through it's power brick. 🙁

Edit: I found a portable HP printer, model# HP Deskjet 460wf C8152A#A2L
Anyone used this printer before? Know of any other portable printers? Would the inverter idea be a more stable solution perhaps?
 
I rather recommend you use Canon's little iP90. Much more capable, cheaper ink, has infrared, bluetooth, and direct-from-camera printing (if camera supports that).
 
Third vote for Canon. The spec sheet for printers will show the power requirements. SOHO inkjet printers use less than 100 Watts, most less than 60. I guess some don't provide the power value because they consider it negligible.
