Cisco-Linksys Wireless-G Print Server with Multifunction Printer Support Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Once you get this gizmo going, it works nicely. You can connect multiple computers on your home network to a printer that's within WiFi range. But setting it up is a challenge, because you have to do exactly the right things in exactly the right sequence, and some of the things you have to do right aren't mentioned in the setup wizard that runs when you insert the Linksys setup CD into your computer, or they're mentioned so late in the process that you may have to start all over again!
The process takes about 90 minutes if you do everything right the first time around and don't have to double back. Most of the time you're watching software load - it's as exciting as watching paint dry. Here's what you have to do, as far as I'm able to recount from having just done it for a friend's home network. If you think the following is written in Greek or maybe in Geek, get someone else to do this for you. If you're up to the challenge, this review may save you time and frustration and prevent more 1-star reviews.
(1) Before you set the print server up, it's a good idea to go to the web site of the company that makes your router (Linksys, D-Link, Netgear, etc.) and download and install the latest "firmware" for your router. That takes maybe 15 minutes.
(2) Move the printer close to the PC that's connected to your wireless router. It has to be close enough to the router for you to connect it via a standard Ethernet ("patch" or "Internet") cable. It's not a big deal, but it means you may have to set the printer up in one place and then move it back to where you want it to be. (Linksys supplies the necessary cables in the box, which is to their credit. Most printer manufacturers make you buy your own cable.)
(3) The printer needs to be set up on the computer using a wired (USB) connection *before* you try to set up the wireless connection. If you're just going wireless with a printer you've already installed on the PC that's connected to your WiFi router, you're all set. But if you're installing a new printer, or trying to go wireless with a printer you've moved from some other computer, be sure to install it as a USB printer first. (3-a) Once you have the printer set up as a wireless "network" computer, you may want to uninstall the USB version of the same printer, because when you boot up, some versions of Windows will give you endless warnings that the local printer isn't connected. (3-b) This also means that if you ever buy a new printer and you want to connect it wirelessly via the Linksys print server, you have to install it first as a (wired) USB printer, and then re-run the "Set Up Computer" wizard from the CD that comes with the Linksys. Don't lose that CD!
(4) The setup wizard asks for a password for the print server. You can use any password you like, BUT then it asks for a passphrase, and the wizard fails to point out that you need the exact WEP passphrase or WEP key you've (already) used to set up your wireless router. (You are using WEP or stronger security on your wireless router, right? If not, go find out how to set up WEP security and do it immediately.) (4-a) The setup wizard asks for a passphrase, but if you've used a passcode on your router, there's a way to enter it you look carefully at the screen.
(5) Once you complete setting up the wireless print server, the wizard leads you through setting up your computer. Again, you must have already installed the printer onto the computer via a USB cable before you get to this point! Follow the instructions and by gosh - it works! Then at the very end there's a small note saying that if you want to set up other computers, you have to install the printer drivers first. Nice of Linksys to point that out at the very end; it would have saved me an hour of messing around if they'd said that at the beginning!
(6) Once the printer is set up, it's the default printer, and it wasn't possible (at least for me, with Windows XP) to set a different printer up as the default printer on one of the computers on my home friend's network. A minor irritation, in most cases, and there may be a workaround. If I find it I'll add it to this review.
So: 5 stars for convenience once it's set up; 3 stars for the glitch with the default; 2 stars for poor setup instructions... how do you rate this thing? 4 stars, I guess.

Pentax DSmobile 600 Scanner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We use this scanner to digitally file our statements and bills. It scans quickly and quietly, without the need for an adapter and without taking much space on one's desk. It partners well with Adobe Acrobat -- we have Acrobat Professional which allows us to crop document edges if the original is less than 8.5 x 11 -- and I've seen no software compatability issues with Windows XP Home or XP Professional. It also allows you to continuously scan multiple page documents (as opposed to scanning each page as its own PDF file).
The one criticism that I have has to do with the software that accompanies the scanner. It does not apparently remember the last settings (e.g., resolution, color vs B&W, and destination directory) so you have to re-enter all of these each time you sit down to scan.
We haven't tried using it for any graphics purpose, but from what I can tell, it's not likely to perform like a flatbed scanner for this purpose, at least for serious graphics work. For a casual scan of a photo for a document or a webpage, it would probably work just fine.
Absolutely satisfied!

Veho Slide and Negative Scanner for 35mm and 110 Instamatic Negatives (VFS002) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a nice little scanner. I've used a few slide and negative scanners, and this is by far the easiest to use. The bundled software is excellent. Although the device doesn't require a driver, it does require this software. As you slide the negative through you see a live view, then, once the image is centered, you click the scan button. The scanning is almost instantaneous, and the quality is perfectly acceptable. It does an excellent job of automatically adjusting brightness, and the scans always seem to be in focus. The bundled software lets you easily adjust color balance.
This is the only scanner I know of that will do 110 negatives. The 110 quality is pretty mediocre, but that's not really the scanner's fault, as indicated by the good quality of the 35mm scans. There just isn't much to work with in that case of 110. Still, it's better than nothing. And I was surprised to find that the negatives had held their color pretty well for 35 years, compared to the completely faded prints of same. This scanner is definitely worth the price.

HP Photosmart C3180 All-in-One Printer, Scanner, and Copier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After extensive research into printers for my home office and an intensive review of my budget, I finally settled on the HP Photosmart C3180 without seeing any reviews. However, I figured that the price was right, the HP reputation is strong and the functions of the printer are what I need.
I connected the printer as soon as it arrived (piece of cake, even for a novice like me). I then began to use it very heavily. I am so impressed. THe quality of the print is incredible, the printer is versatile and it moves fast (especially when in the economical fast mode). The difference in operations and results between this printer and those in the $250 to $300 price range is negligible.
As far as looks are concerned, the printer is sleek with a very small footprint, even taking the paper tray into consideration. It has a clean appearance without an industrial look. It is great for today's offices with a more contemporary appearance.
The only possible issue that may detract from this printer is the same as may be found with any inkjet, with the exception of the very high end inkjets. Inkjets tend to be a little noisy as it prints at the speedier settings. This printer isn't any different.
I recommend this printer for anyone who wants a stylish all-in-one printer that performs like a high-end printer and yet who is not willing to spend the $400 plus price of the more expensive printers.

USB to Serial RS-232 DB9 Adapter Cable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This adaptor is considerably cheaper than many on the market but works perfectly well. It appears robust and well made as well as simple to use.
I've not used any other adaptors so don't know if this is universally true but the thing that I liked most about this adaptor is how simple they've made the software that ships with the device. There is no fancy front end bloat ware, just a simple set of drivers on a CD.
Although, the installation is easy if you have a small ammount of knowledge about PCs, it wouldn't have hurt to put a note on the box for the benefit of less tech savy users of how to find the instructions. There are no paper instructions with the product but there are instructions hidden on the CD. Open it up in explorer and look in the directory with the same name as the product. The instructions are good and show how to install in straight forward pictures of exactly what to click on.
Using Windows XP, Just insert the CD, plug the adaptor into a USB port and wait for the 'found new hardware' wizard to start. All the settings are standard and your PC will know where to find the drivers. After you've installed it, you may need to know the COM number of your new port. You can open the hardware manager, that's in right-click 'My computer' - properties - Hardware - 'Device Manager'. Look in the 'ports' sub menu and you'll see the new port with it's COM number. Any software that connects to a serial device will need to know the COM number to work. The other way to find out is to just try ports 1,2,3,... untill the software for your PDA or whatever manages to connect. I know that sounds complicated but I've spelled it out in great detail, it's really fairly intuitive.
In short, before you junk that old programmable remote control or PDA because your new laptop doesn't have a serial port, use this, it's cheap and it works.

Hp LaserJet Pro M1536dnf Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great multifunction machine! Let me break up this review in the positives and negatives:Positives:
1) Excellent compatibility with OS X. I'm currently using 10.6.5 and right out of the box the OS recognizes the printer. But I installed the driver from the CD anyway because it comes with the scanning software.
2) The scanning software is awesome! No-frills... it just works! You can scan into tiff, jpg, pdf, etc., and customize the settings in a very brainless way. I imagine that the scanning software will be great for anyone who isn't entirely computer-savvy. You can queue up pages to scan via software, as opposed to pressing buttons on the machine itself, in hopes that your computer understands what you're trying to do. This may seem like a silly "positive"; I put it here because other machines (like some Canon's) require you to do exactly that, consequently suffering from network communication inconsistencies/incompatibilities.
3) The print speed is very fast. The box quotes something like 27 ppm... I don't know if it gets up that fast, but from startup to the first page out I think it only took about 45 seconds. Subsequent pages came out probably every 2 or 3 seconds.
4) The design is rather compact for a multifunction machine. The buttons do not feel cheap (like some of the cheapo inkjet printers). Not too bulky; not too heavy.Negatives:
1) When doing 2-sided printing, the duplexer is LOUD. Lots of mechanical things happening that sound like this machine may be subject to wear and tear rather quickly.
2) I first hooked this machine up to my Airport Extreme via USB and tried scanning. The scanning software wouldn't recognize the machine. So I reconnected it to the Airport Extreme via ethernet-- that worked. It's too bad because the Airport Extreme has a USB port that's dedicated to a printer, and now I have to use up one of my 4 ethernet sockets.
3) While the design is pretty slick, I wish they built it so that the paper doesn't stick out. I'm not a huge fan of the plastic "dust cover" over the paper tray... it looks like it can break easily if you accidentally open it up wrong. Also, there's another tray, or fin, that you install to the front that props up the printed pages that come out-- this piece REALLY looks like it will break if you put some weight on it (e.g. your cat decides to stand on it).Nonetheless, this machine is SOOO much cheaper than other ones in its class. That said- all of the negatives seem acceptable.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
UPDATE: (3.20.11) I've used this machine for a few months now, and it's starting to jam up more and more often. It seems that the jamming only happens when I'm printing double-sided. Some comments regarding the duplexer: If you plan on printing a long-ish document, like a 20 page essay, then the double-sided duplex is fine for the job. But if you're planning on printing, say, 100 copies of a single-page double-sided flier, it would be a LOT LOT LOT faster to just handle the double sided printing by hand. Allowing the duplexer to handle this same print job took a MUCH LONGER time than when I just manually flipped to the back side for the second pass. We're talking about 1-2 minutes if done by hand, versus about 8 - 10 minutes via duplexer (assuming it doesn't jam).
So far, I've accumulated about 1500 pages of printing. Using "econo-mode" set to 3 (out of 5), I've managed to only use 20% of the stock cartridge. Not too bad.

Brother DCP-8080dn Digital Copier and Laser Printer w/Duplex Printing and Networking Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After my HP laser printer died, our small office needed a laser combination printer-copier that was inexpensive to maintain and highly reliable. Totally unknown to me prior to study: AIO or MFC searches will frequently bring up only printer combos that include all 4 functions: print, copy, scan, and fax.
After an extended search produced poor options, I discovered the DCP line which includes 3 of the 4 functions, dropping only the fax. This one difference from the MFC line meant far faster copy speeds, better quality printing and copying, and generally better quality all around on the 3 functions it performs.
The DCP-8080DN can be connected to a computer by USB and other means; can be networked in a LAN; will copy as a stand-alone (using ADF or manual feed); comes with a full-sized toner cartridge (for est. 15,000 pages) rather than the skimpy initial toner with others. Toner is available in high-yield size that makes cost between 1-2 cents per page, so reasonable consumables. When added to initial purchase price of $330, the initial and long term costs are manageable.
Yes, it is somewhat large but it's proving its value already. No more need for separate copier. It's completely silent when not in use and starts up pretty quickly. When printing, after warm up of maybe 12 seconds, pages pump out at the fastest rate I have ever seen for a small office laser printer. Seems the specs say 30 ppm, and it seems to be printing @ this rate. Copy speed is only slightly less fast. It will copy and print in duplex (2 sided) but speeds are considerably slower than printing/copying 2 separate pages.
Scanning is excellent, with capacity to scan to email, and also includes an OCR software Presto Page Manager 7.18, which works well. We already have a Scansnap for scanning, so we won't use scanning often.
Faxing is on the way out, with sheet feed scanning to pdf and emailing sufficing quite nicely.
We paid $330 on Amazon, used Prime for free, fast shipping, and it was here in 2 days. Set-up was fast and easy. Its Quick Set-Up documentation could serve as a model for other companies. (What a relief, too!) Works great with both Apple-Mac and PCs.
Brother should do a better job in distinguishing and marketing this DCP line. I only accidentally bumped into it, yet it offers several models for a range of prices. Finally, a multi-function printer that does not degrade printing because the unit adds copying and scanning.

Eikon Digital Privacy Manager - USB fingerprint reader Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have tried the Microsoft, APC, Dell, and Omnipass fingerprint readers.
While the hardware is mediocre, the software is garbage.
Vista support is rare, Vista x64 support is ubelievably rare, and Windows 2008 support is non-existant.
Microsoft's own fingerprint reader wont properly support Windows Server 2008 or 64 bit.
On the other handm the Eikon /Upek solution is fantastic.
The hardware is made from aluminum instead of plastic and has a nice sturdy feel. However its the software that makes this solution stand out as "best of breed"
Not only does it support 64 bit and Vista and Windows 2008 Server, but it supports 2 factor and 3 factor authentication as well.
When you run the software, your first impression is WOW. The user experience is fantastic. It installs perfectly, its very intuitive and is very visually appealing.
It looks and feels like they really spent a lot of time on polishing the sofware.
If you are looking for a fingerprint solution, this is it.
Im so happy with my purchase that I just threw out my Microsoft and APC readers and I deleted my Omnipass software(that I had to pay extra for)
My new christmas wish is to get this reader built-in to a keyboard for my office PC.
Bottom line: I give it 12 out of 10. I bonus point for broad OS support and 1 bonus point for "exceeding expectations"

Kodak ESP 5250 All-in-One Printer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In my home network I have 3 pc's (wired) and 2 laptops (wireless) all connected by a Linksys router. Two of the pc's are for my kids who print out stuff for school and work. Before I bought this printer I had an older HP inkjet connected to my primary desktop (mine). Whenever someone needed to print anything my computer had to be turned on first. Rather annoying.
Not anymore! This Kodak printer so far has been fantastic. The full size instruction manual (no cheap photocopied sheet of paper) explained the whole process from opening the box to connecting it to your network wirelessly. With step by step illustrations that were easy to follow. Within minutes it was up and running perfectly having automatically detected my network SSID and connecting when I typed in my security passphrase on its built in keypad.
What I like:
Easy installation. Nice print results. I haven't printed any photos yet so I don't know how they look. Included in the box are 3 sample sheets of 4x6 photo paper so I'll have to try it. It's totally wireless, so I placed in in an armoire centrally located in my home so it is accessible to everyone. The unit can be left on and after a selectable period of inactivity it powers down in energy saving mode. You don't need to turn it back on at all or wake it up. It automatically connects and prints when when a request is sent. Very nice feature. Also, it uses a separate printhead independent of the ink cartridges. I guess this way it ends up cheaper to buy ink because the printhead is not part of the cartridge itself. It comes with a nice comprehensive software package which completed the installation process flawlessly.
What I didn't like: It is a tad loud but nothing I can't deal with. When inputing a passphrase via the keypad it defaults to uppercase. After a few minutes of trying unsuccesfully at first to connect to my network I realized that I needed to switch to lowercase. A press of a button switched me to lowercase and bingo! passphrase accepted. When you first open the box it appears that part of the AC adapter is missing. It is actually packed underneath the printer where you can't see it.
All in all I'm very pleased with this printer and highly recommend it. Ink cartridges seem to be a lot cheaper that most others too.
Time will tell but I'm very satisifed so far.

comes with a excellent bundle of software but it is unclear how
to manage these features in PaperPort. A video tutorial demonstrating
the features, such as advantage of ISIS drivers vs TWAIN etc would
be most helpful. Otherwise, the scanner has performed well.

Cobra iRadar iRAD-100 Radar Detector for iPhone and iPod Touch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Good:
- Brilliant concept by using the iPhone as a display unit
- Excellent display: speedometer, car voltage, compass.
- Easy to read while driving (I mounted it below my factory GPS unit)
- Easy installation of iRadar app
- Locations of Photo Radar
- Power adapter with iPhone power USB plug in
The Bad:
- Too many false alarms, X & K bands
- Ka alert did not beep until cop was in sight, about 50 yards
- Lack of sunvisor clip
- Black mirror finish scratces very easilyThe Ugly:
- Display often resets to iPhone home screen, between 20 minutes to an hour
- Have to reset functions to your liking after display resets to iPhone home screen; city/highway mode, turn on/off multiple bands, auto mute etc.
- Power cord is too short for a cleaner installation.
I have tested the iRadar for 2 road trips in the last 10 days (LA to San Diego and LA to Las Vegas) and both were quite frustrating experiences. Cobra hits home with the concept but needs many tweeking on the unit. Did they even have engineers used them for a few weeks before retailing them? I would check back with Cobra after 2 years, and perhaps most glitches will be gone by then
Save your time and money, buy a higher end radar detector to save you from speeding tickets. This unit looks cool and that's about it.

CSSN ScanShell 800N Portabe sheetfed A6 Scanner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The scanner is so easy to use and is very portable. You can take it everywhere you go and the detail of the scanned pages are amazing. I used to buy big and bulky scanners thinking that they where the best, however this scanner actually delivered better results. I would recommend this scanner to anyone that wants a great, inexpensive, and dependable scanner.

Epson WorkForce Pro GT-S80 Document Imaging Scanner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the GT-S80 to replace my 1st generation Mac compatible Scansnap (fi-5110EOXM). I wanted a faster scanner (40 PPM vs 15) with better paper handling (less misfeeds according to at least one review comparing GT-S50 to Scansnap elsewhere.)
I used the GT-S80 for less than a day and returned it to Amazon. Here are the reasons why:
1. Speed. Even though the GT-S80 is rated at 40 ppm, when I load paper to scan and push the scan button, it would take about 15-20 seconds for the Epson utility that handles the scanning to activate and for the scan job to actually begin. Several sheets would feed quickly, then there would be a pause (several seconds) while the 5 or 6 sheets that had fed were being processed. Please note, I am using a 2009 Mac Pro 8 core 2.66 GHz Nehalem Xeon machine with 16GB of RAM. It's not a sluggish machine. The combination of the delay in starting and the pause each 5-6 pages significantly decreased any speed advantage the GT-S80 may theoretically possess.
2. Page misfeeds. My scans often consist of regular laser paper interspersed with thinner "NCR" pressure sensitive paper. The GT-S80 double fed these as often as my old Scansnap. Not only did it misfeed, even when I tried to turn on the ultrasonic double feed detection, the Epson would not detect double fed sheets.
3. LCD display on scanner doesn't show actual scan settings when used with Macintosh. When used with Windows PC's, the Epson GT-S80 will show the scan settings from the LCD display (resolution, simplex/duplex, etc), allowing the user to choose the job setting desired. On Mac, only JOB1, JOB2, JOB3...etc. are shown.
4. Confusing EpsonScan utilities. I also have an Epson V600 flatbed scanner (great scanner!) The Epson Scan utility that is compatible with the V600 is a different version than the one that is compatible with the GT-S80, although they look similar. Neither will recognize the other scanner. This is a bit counter intuitive. Of course, this isn't a problem if you don't use Epson Scan to do your scanning (using TWAIN or another scan utility.)
Anyway, I ended up returning the scanner to Amazon and bought a Scansnap S1500M, which I am much happier with than the GT-S80.
