I had planned a card reader there, but I still need to put the 4x4 buttons someplace, and now that I realize its all one module, its got to be there.

They make those small laser printer things. The are pretty much the same size as a can of pringles. Then you put in a sheet and out it comes printed. Might be better than a dot matrix.

I meant like a small reciept printer... a laser is real high power, and I am cheap, so a 'portable' laser is probably out. we will see what happens.... very low priority.
