I have found that explaining our accessible technology is a waisted effort.
Just get the tell them the bear necessities.

Helga,

I would really just ask the DS office personelle if you can use a printer
somewhere.  Often the people in the student computer labs don't know what
BrailleNotes are and therefore don't understand that just printing off of
them is not a big deal.  You can also just ask ther person what kind of
printer is there and check to see if it is on the list of accessible
printers I posted earlier.

As Ryan said, the Ink Jets and some Desk Jets are made for business people
who travel and might not have access to printers without them, but I'd be
weary of carrying it around all day in a backpack for it to get bumped or
broken in some way.  I would really try to find a printer that will hook up
to your BrailleNote via USB, Bluetooth, or Infrared connection so you don't
have to deal with carrying a printer around.
