I have one and after a while I finally got it to work with my newton!@ =)
Good luck.If you find a good source for ink please let me know.

It uses the same Black ink as the HP QuietJet Series.

Subject: [NTLK] diconix model 150 portable printer (or other
modelrecommendations)

I've just seen a used Kodak Diconix model 150 portable printer, for cheap.
Carts for it can be found for about $20.

I've been able to find zero manual or other info on this model printer,
except for one blurb on a reseller site that says it takes C batteries and
emulates Epson FX 85. I have no idea of dpi or speed or (important) pages
printed per cartridge.

I have the printpack cable and wouldn't mind trying it out for the Newton
(in Epson mode). It's a nice size, smaller than a Thinkjet portable. If
anybody knows it's a dog, please let me know :) It's old enough that
online resources are slim...mostly I don't want to mess with it if it only
gets 100 pages per cart or something awful- if for some reason the Epson
mode won't work with the NEwton printpack cable, I can give it to my wife
for her windows laptop.

Anyway this also would also be a good time to ask for suggestions of used
portable printers that should be snatched up in an instant if found :) so
if you have a model you like for use with the Newton, I'd appreciate an
email.

Thanks!

Brian
