I am considering the purchase of the companion printer to the HP48sx, and I am
wondering if anybody in netland has had experience with it.  I have never had
a printer for a calculator (though I always considered purchasing one for my
HP41c...)

My specific questions are: 

1) How durable is it?  Can I carry it around as much as I carry the 48? 
 
2) Are the consumables prohibitivley expensive?  ie.  How often do you replace the paper?

3) Where is the best price people have found on it?  The best I have seen so
far is 47th ST Photo for $99.00. 

Any other comments would be welcome, too.  Thanks for the help!
