Hi, so I would like to install a printer in my car. It looking good is secondary. My main concern is powering it.
I have two printers:
1. Brother DCP-L2550DW
2. Canon Pixma MG2525
The first is laser, second is ink.
I will attach photos of random car power inverters I’ve found on eBay. In the end I’ll most likely go for a name brand either via Walmart, Target or AutoZone.
All of these have two methods of hooking up; either via the vehicle’s cigarette port, or directly the car battery. The latter, I would need to take to an auto shop/mechanic so they can hook it up and wire it from the car battery and have the unit placed around the footing of the passenger seat.
I’m wondering, what’s the best approach here.
I’m guessing the cigarette port would be adequate but maybe perhaps in the long term would be best to do it via the car battery.
I’m open to suggestions cause I desperately need a printer with me at all times while I’m traveling and there’s no way I can drive back home when I need something printed nor is visiting a place to have stuff printed everyday as that get expensive and above all takes time outta my day.
Thank you, I’ll reply quickly.
