You can buy all sorts of adapters for USB ports. I use a USB to printer
adapter when I want to print something from my IBM Thinkpad. Also bought
real cheap a portable printer that prints on 4 1/4 inch wide thermal paper
and has serial and IR inputs. Bought a USB to IR adapter and that will
operate the printer.
