ABSTRACT:
A compact desktop computer system is provided that has a small footprint due to integration of a pagewidth printer into the computer system's keyboard. A data bus interconnects the keyboard and conveys commands from the keyboard to a computer, and signals from the computer to the integrated printer. The keyboard is fitted with a port to receive an ink cartridge that is in fluid communication with the pagewidth printer. The printer includes a transport assembly to move print media from an entry slot to an ejection slot located on opposing sides of the keyboard's housing
