The only hard part was remembering how to operate the device. If I recall, it had a spring-loaded mechanism with a catch, so that when you pressed on one end of it, the ink transfer device would appear at the other. Then you'd move the device around to create the letters and numbers you wanted to print.

Printing with this thing was slower than any other printer I've ever seen. But it was free, extremely lightweight, highly compatible and highly available. Man you should check into it... I would stay at the hotels from now on.

I stayed at the airport hotel and they had a free business center available where you could direct your output. All of the hotels I've stayed at for business trips had free business centers.

I think it sucks that the timeshare doesn't have this feature, but I'm not dropping it just for that.

I decided to buy the printer. It was $32 with the 'processing fee'.
