Many of the tablets do special negotiation on power, and the chargers and 
others expect that. I'd recommend having a USB condom in general, but in this 
case it'd probably also solve the negotiation problem. These are the ones I use.

Also there are many extended charge batteries provided by Anker which may work 
for your needs. I was looking at buying this one for my Dad who has a CPAP 
machine and would like to be able to camp. I imagine a smaller one would work 
depending on what you want.

Re: OT: Charging a Macbook in the woods

[Todd Cole]

I have never really researched it but most inverters out put a square wave
vs AC uses a sine wave. As a 30 year RV owner and one that uses a good
inverter/laptop in my car. I have never had a issue.
I do make sure I have a good battery as a filter and a surge protector
might be a good idea. 5 years ago I camped in the RV for two months using
the generator daily to charge phones and computers
and used my phone to tether with no issue. my wife used her CPAP on hot
nights with the Generator. I assume cheap inverters/ Generators could be a
issue but with 0 issues I would say Go for it and enjoy
tech in the woods. Todd

Re: printer is not responding

[Brian Cluff]

By that error, I believe that your system is working correctly, it just 
can't reach the printer anymore.


My stab in the dark guess would be that your printer changed IPs and you 
need to update your config to reflect that.


Perhaps your wife's computer is setup in such a way that it allows for 
the printer's IP address to change and it takes that into account.

Re: printer is not responding - SOLVED! ;)

[Joe Lowder]

Thanks Brian! That tip enabled me to solve the
problem. I've never heard of a device arbitrarily
changing ip addresses without any apparent reason.
Crazy.

Re: printer is not responding - SOLVED! ;)

[Brian Cluff]

You're router probably lost power and when it came back on it handed out 
different addresses than it had before.


I'd suggest going into your router and assigning specific IPs based on a 
devices MAC address for devices such as printers.  That way it's still 
configured via DHCP, but the address will always be the same.
