2010 Winter Garage Sale / Auction (Part 1)

IT'S OVER!

I'm giving it a go again since I didn't get any reaction last time, but I'm still attempting to off load some of my things. Since there was no local reaction, it's off to the Internets! Today, I have posted two things in my possession: my Dell Inspiron 530 Mini-Tower Computer and my HP LaserJet 1018 laser printer.

If you want to check these items out, just head on over to my eBay page and take a gander at them or click the links below. Interested in buying them? Then you gotta bid, bid, bid! I'll be posting more next week (when I get some boxes in for shipping).

2009 Fall Garage Sale: HP LaserJet 1018 Laser Printer and HP Wireless G USB Print Server (2101nw)

It's still Friday for about another hour, meaning this post counts! Needless to say, I still have plenty of stuff to give away! If you've missed out on any of my other posts on what's for sale, you can now do that with ease! Just head on over to http://travistubbs.net/tag/2009fallgaragesale. If it doesn't say it's gone, it's still available! So, check out that, along with today's offerings!

Product: HP LaserJet 1018 black and white laser printer
Asking Price: $55.00

SOLD!

There's really not much to say about this. It's a laser printer. It prints in black and white. It's not exactly speedy, but does what it does. Still good for those that print out a lot of documents. Just don't expect the speed of a copier. Definitely faster than an inkjet printer, though (once it gets going). According to the box, the printer can print up to 12 pages per minute at 600 dpi.

One thing I want to stress about this printer: out of the box, the HP LaserJet 1018 is NOT compatible with Mac OS X and Linux-based operating systems. This is a Windows-only printer. That being said, there is a small possibility to get this printer working in those incompatible OSes, but it requires a LOT of work and is still NOT guaranteed to work. You've been warned.

Product: HP 2101nw Wireless G USB Print Server
Asking Price: $35.00

SOLD!

Let me start out by saying the name of the product is a lie. Let me explain. Although this is a wireless print server, it's not a TRUE networked printer device.

To use the printer wirelessly, each computer must install the Wireless G USB Print Server software (available for Windows XP and Vista, and Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=3662206&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&submit.y=0&submit.x=0&lang=en&cc=us). Before you can print, you must tell the software you want to connect to the print server (though the Notification Tray or Dock icon). Your computer will take a couple moments to recognize the printer, at which point you'll be connected and then can print.

Only one person can be connected to the print server at a time, thus if anyone else is connect, they will be disconnected if someone else connects. With this understand, the device is really more of a wireless USB port and not a print server (although compatible HP printers are the only thing that can be connected to this). For a list of compatible printers, head over to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01428401&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3662206.

Outside of it's true functionality, it does work as it should. A printer doesn't have to be connected directly to your computer anymore and can be placed anywhere within range of your wireless router/access point. This is definitely useful for those with space issues.
