carry a printer?

[kfrimr]

Where do you keep your printer? We are starting to put together our wish list for our next suite. I office from our MS home. I built a printer drawer where many of you have your fireplace. I want a fire place in our next one so need to decide where to put the printer. I am looking for ideas... Thanks

We have a 2010 38RSSB3 and we keep ours in the cabinet to the right of the stereo cabinet. When I need it, I just pull it out and hook up the printer and off I go.

Our printer is an all in one but doesn't have fax. It is a Canon MP560. It is wireless and detects our Verizon MIFI with no problems. We keep it plugged in and it rests in the cabinet to the right of the entertainment center in out 38TKSB3. We just hit print on our laptops and open the cabinet door to get our printout. Love it!

Joe, Fritz
You both say the cabinet to the right of the entertainment center. Is the the roll top appliance garage? That's an interesting idea. Thanks for the input, are there any other ideas.

No, Our printer is stored on the right side of the entertainment center. There are three sections to the entertainment center above the TV and mine is located on the right side. But, storing it in the convenience center would be a good idea. It has a plug in already installed. You could put a slide tray in the center so you could just slide out the printer when you need to use it.

Hope you had a good Turkey day.

Hi Kent,
Where to put the printer gives us lots to think about. I agree that the fireplace is desireable -- we love ours and it supplies good practical heat too.

I have not done this yet but I am going to. I store my printer under the bed right up against the foot of the bed. It is a pain to retrieve it for its intended purpose but then I don't print that much. I intend to open up the end of the bed and put a slide drawer there so the printer can be easily rolled out when needed and out of sight when not. I had power installed inside the bed storage area when the trailer was built. The source of this 110VAC is in the cap area and a cable was run up through the access panel under the bed. This has to be routed carefully because the bed moves in and out. Don't want pinched wires here. The AC cable was installed in flexible plastic conduit. The printer is wireless for the data connection. Just another idea. Hope this helps.

Are you near home these days? We will be in that area next week. Going to Usery Mountain Regional Park on Thursday. Currently near Safford.

We use our printer (kodak all in one) so infrequently that I just let it stay in the box until needed. I use it mostly to print up the insurance proof for the vehicles or the occassional form I get via e-mail.

We had originally intended to put the wireless printer in the laundry area, on one of the shelves in there, but decided the right hand entertainment cabinet would work better. I cut a hole at the back of the cabinet to get into the main entertainment area so I could get to the electric plugs. No problems. All hidden. Working great.

Great Ideas, thanks , under the bed with a slideout. That is a new one. I like that. Since I still work and office from our MS having the printer in the entertainment center has worked well, it is close.

Great to hear from you, yes we are at home and our home is in Phoenix right now. We have been here since the first of November, and will remain until end of April. We have been asked to return to Seattle for next summer so we may do that.

This weekend I was envisioning the new extended Suite closets. Am sure if you check, there may be space to switch out one of the drawer units in the closet to a rolling shelf and even add a plug-in.

I know I read on here where someone had something similar done in the dinette area when their's was built. But our printer is too deep (12" closed) to place in one of the sides cabinets in the buffet cabinet (9").

I put our printer on a top shelf in the glass doored cabinet above the appliance garage that is between the kitchen and the TV. I then drilled a big enough hole through the back corner of the shelves to drop the electric cord and USB cable down to the wall socket that is in the garage. I also reinforced the shelf to better handle the weight of the printer. When needed I just hook up the USB cable to the laptop and print away.

we keep ours in the bedroom closet, on a shelf we put in above the floor of the closet, on the end closest to the bed. we just plug it n from there and have no issues with it. its out of the way when we dont need it.
