Little Printer - a small cloud printer
Little printer is a miniature thermal printer that is controlled from a smartphone via the Berg Cloud cloud service. I was lucky to get a novelty, and I am ready to share my first impressions. I have to say - the printer is very cute, but it is not without flaws.

For a start it is worth saying that a small printer is not so small. For me, the absolute big box with a lot of wires and components was an absolute surprise. Taking out all the little boxes from the main package, we see this set.
Here is a printer, its power supply with three types of plugs and a box with spare rolls of paper (let me remind you that this is a thermal printer. It doesn’t need ink, but it needs special paper). But the intermediate in the form of ext. boxes for the connection between the cloud Berg and the printer, I did not expect to see. It turns out that we need to power up the Bridge, connect it to the WAN port of the computer or router so that it gets an internet connection and then turn on the printer. Total we need 2 sockets and 1 WAN port (cable for it is included).
It's time to open the boxes!
By the way, for fans of unpacking, I found a good movie. It even shows that the printer does not always work smoothly. He can slightly chew the paper, which, it is worth noting, is corrected very simply and in just 5-10 seconds.
For those who read about this printer for the first time, I advise you to watch the official video from the developers
You can send a print task from any device connected to the Internet. Go to remote.bergcloud.com/publications and manage your subscriptions. It should be noted that subscriptions are a really interesting mechanism for working with a printer. Of course, we can print on it any of your photos, your text or anything at all, communicating with the printer via the console. But it’s the subscriptions that add interesting features to this little printer. Berg collaborates with The Guardian, Nike, Google and many other corporations. This allows you to automatically receive daily printouts of the main news of the day, the Bitcoin course, your calendar and to-do list from Google, as well as seals, sudoku, mini-comics and much more.
The printer can print your twitter tape, instagram, google mail, and you can also create your subscription with collecting the data you need, which the printer will gladly print.
The printing process was immediately tested by my cats =)
Interestingly, the printer can also be shared for your friends so that they can send their messages to it. There are several types of messages that can be divided into two categories: a differently shaped text message and a photo with a comment.
Also on the printer excellent panoramic images.
I still use the printer for only a week, but I like to print small photos, important notes and daily attendance statistics of my site. Little Printer is not a device that will change the whole world, it is a device that will make your life a bit more comfortable. Let him every time, even with a small amount of printing, spend the paper on his smiling face, he always makes me happy with his appearance. This is a thing that does not mind the place on the table.
As is often the case, you cannot order directly from the manufacturers Little Printer. Its official price is $ 199 or £ 149. But in Russian stores you can already find this printer with a certain mark-up, but fast delivery.
