well I got a possible downside? You can’t leave it printing while you go get a coffee? or else you will end up with a desk full of papers? Maybe not the bigest problem, but just thought of it… and a very cool concept

we can already make ink jet printers as thin as the top half of this printer

However this does look nice , and in that extra hanging space you could probably fit a laser printer

Wouldn’t it make a lot more sense to print vertically and drop the finished pages into a slanted basket underneath? Maybe that’s hard to visualize. Imagine one of those bins you see stuck to office doors, the ones with triangular sides. Place it underneath the hanging part of the printer, drop pages down into it, and as the pages hit the bottom they fall to the slanted left edge of the bin. That way you can even print the pages in the order they’ll appear in the finished stack.

quite crisp……would save a lot of dead space on the table.

I don’t see how it really saves that much desk space, you still need space on the top of the desk for the paper to come out.

Plus looking at the paper path, a feed jam looks like it would be a nightmare.

Forget printers, this would be a great cpu case design. A 2 inch lip that sits on top of the desk with the cd rom and usb/memory card connection and then a big horizonal case that wraps around under the desk that holds everything else!
