Be prepared! I bought this and NEVER used it. Nothing but problems with the drivers. No support for XP even though they claim it does and getting it to print with half decent clarity was a chore to say the least.
Worst part, I paid $129.00

Well, usually when I see good deals like this, they charge TONS for shipping and handling....overstock only charged me $2.95 for shipping.....not bad at all.
Worse comes to worse....I am sure I can break even and sell it on ebay 
Thanks

Actually they are going for even less on ebay, I searched completed auctions and saw several between $20 and $30. And other sites similar to Overstock have them as well...I think there are plenty of these devices floating around. Guess they tanked. Reminds of the IBM Z50....and by the way, that device with this one would be a killer combo.

Owch.. that doesn't sound good. Still, for $30, I'm willing to take that risk.

The link to Buy.com shows that the paper is plain paper.
The description of the printer also says that it takes rolls or single sheets of plain paper.
I'm confused :?
