Didn't live up to my expectations, May 6, 2007
By user (Washington, DC)
Ultimately, I returned this product. It was horribly slow, and it kept crashing on me. I haven't had problems with any of my other Bluetooth devices. Maybe Bluetooth printing technology just isn't there yet, though.

Great solution for printing across the room or outside., April 28, 2007
By user (phoenix,AZ)
This product works great. The book said it does not work with all in one printers but I have had no problems. I guess it wont work with the scan and fax functions. It prints just as fast as when corded. I even print from my patio with my laptop.

HI ON PCS, February 2, 2007
By user (Long Island, NY)
This product was just what I needed. It gets the job done, slow but it gets done. My only complaint is that I can't figure out how to inbed the passkey, everytime I print a popup message asking for password comes up, it gets on my nervous after awhile.
I'm sure I'll figure it out just before I get a bluetooth ready printer.
Other than that, I would highly recommend this product..

F8T031 does the job, January 10, 2007
By user (San Rafael, CA USA)
This unit does a good job, but is not perfect. It was difficult to set up. After a few attempts and with a bit of knowledgeable assistance, it worked. It continues to do so. The range is acceptable, but perhaps a bit shorter than the advertised 33 feet. That's not been a problem, since my alternative locations are probably a bit outside the 33 foot maximum anyway. I use it in an area where I simply couldn't run a printe cable. So ... it works for me and I'd buy it again.

Nice, but a little bit slow, January 9, 2007
By user (Sault Ste Marie, ON, Canada)
That is a nice product. I used some days, but works slowly from the Desktop and from my Pocket PC. But anyway is a good solution to print from my Pocket PC from everywhere in my house.

Multifunction printers?, December 21, 2006
By user
Hi -
I'm thinking of purchasing this and I was wondering if anyone had tried this with an all-in-one printer. I'd like for the bluetooth to work with the printing function, though I can deal if it doesn't work with scanning and copying.
Thanks

Works well but slows things down a bit., September 1, 2006
By user (San Angelo, TX)
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. PRINT IT IN THE DOCUMENTS OR PUT THE INITIAL PASSKEY ON THE BOTTOM OF THE DEVICE then allow them to change it if they want.
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. Still slows it down a bit but not nearly as much as the C3140. 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.

Warning: Does Not Work With Apple Computers Of Any Kind, December 28, 2005
By user (NYC, NY)
After wasting almost four hours trying to get this to work on two different Apple OS X computers, I finally gave up and waited three days over the holiday to contact Belkin Tech support. I returned the product after Belkin tech suppport confirmed that this product does not work with Apple computers. So, do not buy this product if you are trying to connect with any Apple computers.

Works with bluetooth on my Palm Tungsten E2, October 23, 2005
By user (Southeast, USA)
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,
THE PASSKEY IS "belkin" (all lower case).
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. Now you can set it up without the hassle I had, and you can give it five stars, too.

Best price/value ratio out there, July 21, 2005
By user (Geneva, IL)
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? Can't go wrong.
Correct. 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.
The best part was when I first found these at CDW, they were selling them for < $40. I should have bought more then, because they're $56 now.
