Reviews
By: Patrick S. Sennett “RightWingMedic”We bought a bunch of the Iogear Combo adapters, and all failed within the first 60 days. So we replaced them with Belkin. Big name, right? These are very simple - two lights, both very bright and easily seen in all lighting conditions. Amber blinking alone - all is well with the adapter. Blue and Amber blinking alternately - time for an adapter reset (power down printer and adapter, power up adapter and wait a fifteen count, power up printer.) Blue flashes brightly when receiving data. We even paired it with the unbelieveably cheap HP LJ1012 printers and they give pretty good throughput. It’s not as fast as directly USB connection, but then again we won’t be busting USB connectors this way.

This dongle works great, using only my Palm with Bluefish RX software. No complaints except one, and hopefully this will help some buyers. To initially set up your handheld device, when it asks for a passkey, which is a kind of password. I would give this dongle five stars, except the passkey was no where in the manual or other literature that came with the product. I guessed it correctly after many tries and google searches.

I agree with the previous review about the passkey; it was no where in the documents. I even read the other review before buying but didn’t understand what he was talking about. And I didn’t remember his review when it came to the time that I needed the passkey. I’m not at all sure how mine is even functioning because I never did enter a passkey. I found the review again when I came back to enter my feedback. Belkin needs to do a better job of getting this info out where the customers can find it. The device works well but it does slow down my printer. At first I hooked it up to my HP C3140 multi-function (even though Belkin says they won’t work properly) and it did significanly slow down its printing. I changed it over to my HP Business Inkjet 2800 and it performs much better. It’s a speed I can live with. I like that I can be in the living room and still print in my office if I find something worth printing; I don’t have to be tied to the printer all the time.
