Using a portable printer with the TF?

A search, here, was not productive so I'll ask the group...is anyone successfully using a portable printer (wireless & battery operated, color-capable, for example) with their Transformer to print documents from non-android based/originated software they have loaded onto the TF, for business purposes of any nature?

I'm hoping to do this w/my TF and would like some ideas as to what's been found to be compatible with the TF. Or...am I making too much of an issue of this? Just not sure, at this point, if compatability is no problem or even possible.

Thanks for your input.
 
I can print to a wifi printer using the PrinterShare app.
As android apps go it's fairly expense (about $15 I think), but if this is something you'd use for work then you might be able to justify the cost.
 
Thanks, Mhotovec. Guess I should clarify a bit. I'm kinda like a traveling 'salesman' in that my point of sale locations are not in my office.

In fact, my 'sales' are conducted in the area's local county jails. Thus, no wifi available. (I know, right? Inmates don't get internet service? Who knew?)

So, I'm trying to find a compatable, portable, battery operated, color printer with blue tooth so it can talk to my Transformer & vice/versa.

I'm thinking I'll need some software downloaded onto the TF to enable printing bail bond forms from the TF to the printer, as well.

Any ideas? Anyone?
 
hmmm...point of sale printers huh? well it'd be nice that major printer manufacturers try to push complete printing from android devices but all ive seen are photo and .pdf printing via an app. Printershare is too much of an unknown for me so wont even try and wasting $15 to then find out it wont work with my printer. ive seen a few portable printers such as that HP officejet 100 thats nifty, not sure if it works with that Hp ePrint Home & biz app, but even that seems flakey....sigh...

*sigh* is printing one of the many parts ICS is going to address or is it seen as not an indemand thing?
