I seem to recall that the convertible (the laptop) had a printer available
that attached to the rear, although iirc, right side up and ready to print.
(It connected directly through an expansion port on the back of the
computer.)
The Sharp PC-7100's printer tips up* to attach for portability; to use it
you have to detach it, set it down, and hook up a standard printer cable.
*Tips up: take your standard mx-80 or what-have-you and grab the rear
corners. Lift, rotating along the front bottom edge, and stand it on the
front side. Now put your lunchbox in front of it. (Well, maybe Andre the
Giant's lunchbox.)
