Odd thing: the tablet talks to it okay wireless, but not the laptop, it seems. Still, it works - mainly I wanted to print a return label for a new tablet I thought I needed.

Advisory warning to anyone buying an Amazon Fire: GETTING WATER IN THE RECHARGE PORT IS THE KISS OF DEATH. DO NOT, EVER, ALLOW THIS TO OCCUR. KEEP THAT PORT DRY AT ALL COSTS.

I was lucky - I got a warning, panicked and ordered a new tablet, expecting mine to die (yes, this has happened before). But it must've been just one drop; I put a bit of tissue paper in there, the warning went away and it's been fine since. Whew. Maybe the warning mechanism is a bit sensitive.

OTOH, I expected the moisture to kill my tablet. It didn't, and it charges quite happily. For once in my life something's gone right.
