On Tuesday, a fire broke out in actor Nick Nolte's Malibu home, forcing him to make a quick exit and escape through a window. The fire was said to have been caused by an electrical malfunction, which Nolte believes originated from his faulty printer. The damage was estimated at three million dollars.

I know I boasted about being out of the printer game, freeing up the desk space for more efficient things a few months ago, but it appears I'm back in — my boyfriend and I decided that we really needed a scanner, and Ta-Da! Our scanner came with a printer (bonus: it makes my Fandango outings a lot easier).
So now it looks like I will be back to shopping for one of the most annoying things to shop for ever: printer ink refills.

I've never considered printers to be a "fun" gadget, but that's certainly the name of the game with Canon's compact SELPHY CP770.
The Selphy, which resembles a rubber bucket, is definitely a family friendly printer. Just insert your memory card, check out your pics on the 2.5-inch display and start printing — no computer required!

Here's a reason to keep a home printer around! Inkjet Tattoo Paper lets you design custom temporary tattoos, which is great when those 50-cent jobs from the gumball machine won't cut it.

Although Polaroid cameras may now be considered retro gadgets, there's just something about instant still-image cameras that I find totally fascinating. By the end of this year, Zink will be coming out with a camera that resembles a modernized Polaroid camera that will print quality photos-instantly. Featured on Engadget, the Integrated Digital Camera and Printer works as a digital cam with 7-megapixels, a 2-inch screen and a 3x optical zoom. 
I think we can all agree that aesthetically pleasing printers are few and far between. Of course, we buy printers to, well, print - so most of us don't take note of what the machines look like so long as they are dependable, not too clunky, easy to use and within our price range. The Space For You printer concept hopes to combine space conscious design with clean lines and functionality. 
ICFF week is still going strong in New York and with it are some amazing tech-meets-art- meets-function innovations that I am crossing my fingers see eventual mass production. The folks over at They Should Do That found this wall mountable printer at the Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial. Designed by Ransmeier & Floyd, the prototype for the printer was created in 2005.
