Good, fast, but get a replacement cartridge
on May 23, 2017

Best Buy price matched this with Staples (along with the replacement cartridge) w/o issue. Its very fast even in duplex. I would not use a font smaller than 8 pt because its 600 DPI (vs 1200 DPI). Starter cartridge lasted about 800 pages so plan to get a replacement (BB price matched that as well).. Fast startup from deep sleep. Noisier than the HP 1200 it replaced but quite a bit faster. Installed in on wired network w/o issue. No issues w/Black and white graphics.

With raised Ballistic Corners and lips, this Ballistic Jewel JW3748-A06N hard shell case keeps your Motorola Moto E cell phone stylishly protected against shocks from falls as high as 6' for durability to handle everyday damage.

Basically it does not fit. Its too tall. There is about 1/4" of free space at the top of the case. If you flip it end for end the phone will slide down. I am going to return it. Store associate assured me that I could go with the one line description. Perhaps its for a different version of the Moto-E but definitely NOT for the 1st Generation model.

Picked up unit to replace Win 8.1 box destroyed in fire. Unit has hard-wire Ethernet connection, but it will not find network via this means. WiFi found network but can't exchange files with other members of either Workgroup or Homegroup. Windows claims these is something missing protocol stack. Followed on line direction to fix this and now it won't even pick up the network using WiFi. Its going back since correcting this is out of scope for the contract I have with GS.

Smart charger but ...
on November 3, 2015
Posted by: BMussatto

Good (not great) smart charger.
It has separate charging circuits so you can mix AA and AAA and charge 1, 2, 3, or 4 batteries at a time. 7 hours to charge a battery is OK since fast charging is a great way to kill batteries. There are four hidden green LEDs which indicate the state of charge.
2 issues:
- Instructions say when first plugged in LED will flash and then go steady as it charges. WRONG! LED glows solid initially. If a battery is "defective" it flashes. LED does go out when battery is fully charged.
- LEDs are not under the battery to which they refer so its not easy to determine which battery is fully charged and which one is still being charged.
It refused to charge batteries which the La Crosse BC-1000 could charge, but it costs about 1/2 as much.

After 1.5 years of ownership the small fan started making loud noise and stopped pushing enough air to get the mist out of the unit. Until that point it worked quite well. Was able to humidify a large bedroom. Tank lasted about 15 hours on medium. Used it only in winter so it ran for about 8 active months. Previous Sunbeam lasted about 15 years. I'd stay away from this brand. since the failed part is common to all.

Just Works, get it before its gone

Connected wife's Win 8.1 laptop to old BJ-200e. Followed instructions on web and, after I replaced the dried out print cartridge it worked. No issues PERIOD.
Less expensive that other local store. Looks well made.
Steps in case you are interested: (from Googled instructions.
- Go to Printers and Devices, Stop auto scan and hit next
- Select Manual install.
- If your printer is not available have windows update its list of printers (and get a cup of tea or coffee) For the BJ-200e I selected BJ F200 and that worked. Printed test page w/o issue.
Only downside is it was on clearance at the store, but I got and they price matched the web price w/o issue.

What's great about it: Works to connect old printer w/o issuess
What's not so great: Its on clearance so it may not be there in the store.

2nd choice when ASUS tab hung when testing it in the store. Primary use is as an E-reader with access the Android Play Store. Store sample showed a bunch of Apps which are not bundles, but then again, don't have a bunch of wasted space. Added Micro-SD and it was easy to have that be default storage location. Its interface was straight forward. Only hit was when I down loaded NavFree the volume of the voice directions was too low to use. I have a GPS so I may be spoiled. The GPS finds and tracks my movement fine and Kindle App behaves well. I can easily turn features on and off to save power. Auto-brightness is a bit dim but the tablet is fine with that disabled.
Camera is marginal, but a 7: tablet is a bit large to use as a snap shooter.
Overall good value for the price.

Update
July 22, 2014
There is a second control for sound volume for "games" when that is turned up the tablet volume is loud enough to use the navigate function.
The fact that there are two outlets, but only one speaker is a bit misleading.
Being able to run off the "rotate" sensor is useful when its on a flat surface since the doesn't go to landscape mode just because of how it was put down.

This USB-parallel cable allows you to connect your parallel printer to your computer via USB port.
Can the cable be used with Windows 98
I would like to connect a Dell Inspiron 7000 running Windows 98 to a HP Deskjet 520 printer.
Its not safe to run Windows 98 unless you want to help out the bad guys. Sorry,I've only tested in on Win 7 and 8.1 where it works fine.

Will this cable work with a laptop that has Windows 8?
I want to connect a HP 932 Desk Jet printer that has a 25 point parallel port connection to print documents from a laptop having a Windows 8 operating system
Got it to work with Windows 8.1. However, its USB 2 on laptop and Centronics not 25 pin on printer end. It replaces the cable which had a 25 pin parallel connector on the computer side.

Can this product be used the other way around?
I have a parallel port on my PC and a USB only port on my printer. Will this adapter also work by plugging the parallel side into my PC and using the USB side for my printer, or are there "male" / "female" issues?
Wrong direction. Its for USB on computer to older printer with a Centronics interface.

This cable is too short for my office configuration, is an extention or longer cable available? Would you supply the name please.
Its a standard USB 2 cable at one end, I've another printer that I needed to extend. Just search Best Buy for USB extension cable which is long enough for your need. The advantage of USB (serial) vs Centronics (parallel) is extending it easier. No cross talk.

PCL5e
Do you know if this cable will convert the PCL5e printer language on usb port to parallel?
No conversion is required. Its presented to the printer as parallel signals. I didn't have any issues with an older printer.
Besides its Best Buy, you can return it.

dynex printer cable DK-UBPC, 713 1123, is this a USB 2.0 or 3.0 cable?
Will this cable work for connecting an HP LaserJet 4m printer to a USB 3.0 port on an HP Laptop running Windows 8.1?
Its USB 2, but that's as fast as the printer will go IMHO. USB 2 is faster than the Centronics interface anyway (280Mbits/sec vs. 2 Mbits/sec). I connected to a far older printer w/o issue. You might need to check and see if there is a driver under Windows 8.1. I had to use a different, but compatible driver.
