The new version of SquareUp adds USB printer support to the Android version. Problem is they don't offer a USB printer that runs off a battery. I don't have a generator and getting one just for a printer is kind of overkill. I could get a cigarette adapter inverter or a battery pack that has an outlet.

I think the battery pack would be more professional. I want a small one, don't need much juice at all. Anyone used any of them? I found some on Google but can't find much in the ways of reviews.

You need a battery pack to run an inkjet printer for your mobile business?

If that's the case, a power inverter would be best.

It's actually a small thermal printer. I'd like to be able to print without having to go back to my car. I can always go the inverter route if I don't find a suitable portable battery with a outlet though.

Isn't your car usually parked really close to the car you are detailing anyway?
