I assume that due to your location, taking a flash drive to a Kinko's, 
etc. is not an option.

With such low usage, I think you would be better served by a laser 
printer.  Perhaps inkjet printers have improved, but anecdotally, it 
seems that inkjet heads don't last very long if they're not being used 
regularly.

You can likely find a relatively compact monochrome laser printer, but I 
doubt you'll find a battery powered laser printer.
