I'm buying a laptop (Presario notebook with Turion processor) here in the States and I'm wondering about buying a portable printer here and bringing it to Korea. Which models, in your opinion, are the best values? While I would like something economical and not too bulky, I don't want to sacrifice too much quality at the same time----which ones might be a good combination of the two? By the way, I don't forsee myself printing a lot of images----just standard printing needs. ( Hmmm... do I even need a printer? Should I just use my school's?)

printers are cheap and if you're going to be in Seoul than a trip to yongsan will find you a printer that suits your needs without taking up valuable luggage space.

No kidding!
Bringing a printer is almost as crazy as bringing a monitor.

I second what SuperHero and mindmetoo said. Long ago, I once not only hauled a printer over, but had an Apple dealer special-order me a 220v power brick! (I'm saying this was a LONG time ago!)

There is no way that you have a printer that is good enough to warrant bringing it here with you. Leave it at home and buy a cheapo one here. You can get a very decent printer here for a little over 100,000 won these days. You would pay more than that to ship a printer here and then back to your home country at the end of your stay.
