General discussion

wireless printers

Feb 2, 2005 3:26AM PST

Has anyone purchased the HPDeskjet 6840? I am looking for a printer for my wife to use with her wireless laptop. Also, any recommendations for a wireless notebook mouse to be used with a Toshiba laptop? I purchased the Logitech MX 1000 laser mouse for the laptop, but the charger base has to be plugged into the laptop so it is not a portable laptop any more. The good news is that anyone looking for a very good wireless mouse, do not hesitate to buy this one. Just install their software and you are good to go. The touchpad still works even though the mouse is plugged in. Thanks. Larry.

FI, those very small mini mouse (wire or wireless) for laptop use fail pretty quickly if use intensely because they come with weak spring unlike those of desktop mouse.

I own 2 bluetooth mouse. One from PCI with a dongle and the other from ANYCOM which do not have a dongle. There's another one by BLUETAKE which also do not require a dongle. You can use Google search engine to find out more details. If you're using WinXP PRO SP2 and your laptop has built-in bluetooth then no dongle is required otherwise you need one.

Mine you bluetooth mouse are more expensive than conventional ones.

I don't know about the printer. I'm still researching at the moment. However I do use the Logitech V-500 and it's very nice.
