Default Portable printer/scanner????

I had a Canon BJC-80 for the longest time and it broke.
This was a cool portable sheet fed printer with a scanner cartridge so it scanned documents as well, all in one small portable AC/DC package.

Does anyone know if theres a similar product on the market today?
I can only find used BJC-80 online and dont want to wait for shipping with no guarantees that it works. Besides that, it was extremely slow scanning and didnt have USB. Im sure if theres a portable product out there now the connectivity and speed would be upgraded.

Searching for portable printers is a nightmare because theyre all photo printers and I have no need for a photo printer.

aside from portability, the scanner part is the most important. Hate to lug around two different perifs.... the BJC-80 was a tiny unit that scanned and printed and Id like to replace it with a similar item that might be found in stores.

Anyone know of such a product and where I might find it?

BJC-85 replaced the BJC-80 and you might be able to still find those, plus it uses the same optical cartridge. We have thousands of the BJC-80 and 85's in our organization. This year however, we are refreshing the oldest ones with HP 460's. The HP is bigger - pretty hard to beat the BJC's for their size and portability.

Thanks for the tip.
Ive found several refurbs online. Guess I shouldnt have tossed the scanner cartridge. The same one is used in the 85....DOH!
