I'm outdated on my electronics so today I'll be purchasing a wireless printer.
I received an ad from Big Lots for a Lexmark Wireless Printer on Sale for $69 originally $99.
It even advertised it will work for Android Phones.
My questions to everyone are:
1. What wireless printers have you used or are using?
2. How much did it cost?
3. Can the Note 2 see the printer and print to it directly? Or does it need a 3rd party app for it to print?
4. What would you recommend as far as quality and price? Not looking to spend over $100.
Thanks
I have HP 3050A wireless printer I got from Bestbuy for $35, after I connect the printer to my home wifi, I can print from PC, ipad, and my Note2 directly.
Is it just a printer? The one I'm lookin at is also a scanner and fax machine. But who uses fax still?

Brother all-in-one. Not wireless, but wired to the router. I use Cloud Print app to print to the printer via Google cloud print.
I use a Canon MX Series (Fax, Scanner, Printer, Etc..) and it functions flawlessly with my Note II with the "Printer Share" app. All WiFi too.
Stock TW Roms seems to pick up the printer over WiFi just fine but shows it in the WiFi direct screen. Now the built in Samsung app shows the printer but due to it not being a Samsung device it does not work so thats why I use the 3rd party app.
Cost was about $80 from best buy but it was technically free for me since it was a gift card I used.
Thanks for the response people. I didn't purchase the printer yet because I wanted to see what everyone had to say. Will go this weekend to see what would work best for me.
Invest in the app called "Printer share". Its pricey but worth every penny. Shows you any printer connected via wifi. Flawless app

I too have been looking for a good printer... question, does anyone know of a good bluetooth printer? (I dont have wifi at my house)

Brother has their own app for their networked printers that does photos PDFs and docs I believe. I use it for photos on the color laser and it works great. Dunno about any other apps.
edit - It'd be nice if we got CUPS support or something and could just pop in an IP address and a ppd file and print from Android. Guess google thinks we'll use apps for that.
Printer share is the only app that works but it does not work with touch wiz rom you have to be on a rom like CM10.at least it would not work for me on touch wiz but it works great with cm10

I hope it works on Android. I spent a LONG time looking for a printing ap that supported a Lexmark printer. It seemed that sometimes every other brand was supported but Lexmark. I now have an HP which is supported on my phone by multiple apps and by HP ePrint.
If you're getting the Lexmark, download & check-out that your printer is supported by the apps people have mentioned. Also, go to Lexmark.com and check-out the features or drivers/downloads section to find out if Lexmark has their own system for mobile wireless printing. They MUST have fixed it by now...

I don't think apple would approve of a Microsoft xbox app somehow lol, but maybe I'm wrong, it would be weird for apple to do that knowing their anti everything thats created by their arch enemy.

My Xbox Live Application?
can someone share it? I can´t install it on my nexus 7
iOS version that was released yesterday has better fucntionality than the android version. Forza and Halo dont work as they do on iOS and Windows. This Is Bullsh!t. The giving android the crappy version of everything has to end. We have the most market share, the most users but we alway get shafted. Yeah we got the app first, cool, But once the iphone/ipad got it with full smartglass functionality(not to mention an ipad specific version[yes i know sideloading works on android tablets, it runs great on my N7}) it took me over the top. I just dont see why this has to keep happening.
Has anyone had trouble getting this to work? Mine goes to Getting info from Xbox services... and eventually just fails and says "Can't sign into xbox services". I've reset everything, tried over 4g and on the same local network and made sure the account is fine and Smartglass is turned on on my box. Still no go - any ideas? No many results turn up on Google. Some complain of similar problems but there's no solution.
EDIT 12/15: The next day it started working without me doing anything different. Go figure

I have only tried a PS3 controller, which worked fine in my experience. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscompatibilitychecker <-- you do need an app to get it working (that is just the checker you would actually need the paid app). I am sure there are other controllers, but since I already owned a PS3 so I haven't really shopped around.
What is the hype about the Ouya? It is inexpensive. Not everyone has a smartphone or a tablet. Even fewer have one that can manage HDMI out. A lot of the ones that do, are more expensive than the Ouya, especially when you also factor in the higher end internal specs of the Ouya. Also you would have to consider the price of docks, cables, and a controller into this price.

I believe this is what you need!

You could go this route:
http://www.cellphoneshop.net/mhlhdmi.html
Read review and make sure the one you're buying works for the Note 2 or S3.
I have one from my ol' S2, bought an adapter for my Note 2 and it works like a charm!
Nope.
You need the mhl adapter like others suggested unfortunately. Unless you can find one locally than there is nothing you can do.
You need an mhl cable. More specifically the one from samsung because they made ours non standard.

Chances are this particular model will not let you use AllShareCast (Wi-Di, Miracast, whateveryouwannacallit) with your Samsung device (I believe this model only lets you connect to the internet for their pre-loaded apps like Netflix; thus making it a so-called "Smart TV"). From what I know, Samsung only has the F series above the 7000 model (not FH) as their Wi-Di line (as stated earlier by someone). FH is probably their super affordable, bare-bones-super-cheap-so-they-can-sell-it-on-black-Friday-and-you-will-never-see-this-model-again-unless-it-is-out-of-Ebay-or-some-dude's-van model.

Well that sucks. Cause its a black Friday model you cannot get a manual to look over prior and see what all it can do.
Not being able to hook my phone to it is not the end of the world. That would be just a bonus.
I'm more concerned with being able to stream my movies from my pc to the tv.. Ps3 can do it but doesn't like movies obtained from the Internet lol
Thanks of the input guys. I may have to dig a little deeper on this tv

I got it...That TV wasn't on their website last friday.
I have the UN40f5500 and Note 2 Running the New DN3 ROM (Note 3) and been testing out the ROM. So far all features are working on Both TV and Phone. SkyNote. Mirror wouldn't for me. My opinion is I'll probably never buy anything but a Samsung phone and TV for some time.
As stated above their is so many awsome thing they do hand in hand. Almost to the point that one won't need a pc unless your a DEV.
I would/ have recomended to friends and family.
PURE SWEETNESS
Got the tv and love it.. But TouchWiz is getting a bit old and laggy. Thinking of switching back to an aosp rom.
L What's the best alternative for allshare on a non TW rom? Mainy just to view photos and videos. Streaming YouTube from my note2 to the TV would be a plus but not needed.

I just ordered the Lenovo WD100-SL, will post again and update whether if it works when I receive it. It's supposedly compatible with android 4.2.2 and above.
I have the rocketfish receiver and it works on all my devices on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz but on the moto x it only works on 2.4ghz. Shame because 5ghz has better picture , no artifacts, and if you mirror on 5ghz you can still use 2.4 for WiFi for streaming .

From what I understand, miracast in general kind of sucks because of the poor standardization across brands/devices. I have a lenovo laptop, and I'm hoping the dongle I ordered will work with the laptop's widi feature, as well as my moto x and nexus 7. :fingers-crossed:

yeah thats mostly true but i've used the rocketfish with nexus 7 1st gen (modded to work) nexus 7 FHD, galaxy s3, galaxy s4, and moto x and only had issues with moto x on 5ghz
I just got a Netgear PTV3000 in the mail yesterday, it works well with the Moto X.
Have not had a chance to put it through the paces but was able to briefly test it out on a 32" 720p HDTV.
Screen mirroring looked sharp enough, also tried Netflix and it looked decent but not as "HD" as I would expect, not sure if it was Netflix bandwidth or Miracast itself being the limiting factor. I'll load VLC on the phone this weekend and try playing a local HD file to see what it looks like.
Got the Lenovo WD100 today. Works well with both my moto x and nexus 7. Ironically does not work with my lenovo win 7 laptop... go figure.
