You can print to any printer that is Google Cloud Ready. To see a list of printers visit: http://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/printers.html You can also print to non-Google Cloud Print capable printer through an existing Windows or Mac computer that is hooked up to the printer if you have the Chrome Browser installed on the computer. For instructions check our this link: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/1069693?hl=en If you plug a printer into the Chromebox the printer will not work.

The HP Officejet 4630 printer can be used with any wireless router. Once you have connected the printer to your wireless network, your laptop/desktop will be able to locate it. To connect, simply go to the menu on the printer and find "Network", Then "Wireless Setup Wizard" and follow the prompts. Viola' you're connected. Good Luck!

I was really put off when I first got the message that it would only print to a Samsung printer. But it will print to other printers. It would have to be a wireless printer. I have an older printer (HP Deskjet 6980) and I downloaded HP's e-Print app. It found the printer and it prints just fine. There are probably apps for other printers too.

What we have here is a mini wireless N transceiver. If you have a wireless router at home, you can make your PC wireless. No need for cable. Once installed and running, you can print to a wireless, and or wired printer. You cannot use this to make your 460 printer wireless. The 460 has a dedicated slot for an(HP) wifi, or bluetooth. This USB wifi will not work as it does not have a processor integrated into it so as to configure. The HP wifi card is needed for wireless. Master Rod

It all depends on the type of printer you own. My printers are connected via the USB port or wireless on my home net work. If I were to buy a new printer for my ASUS laptop, I would buy a wireless multifunction inkjet printer with low cost ink. You only pay once for the printer, the ink costs go on forever. If you already have a printer tell us what it is and we can help.

All/most printers will work great with a Mac, without installing any special software. I personally don't use a printer anymore, and don't have any suggestions, but I do know of others who use the HP Envy. It is wireless for use with iPad.

First, you can't connect any printer to a Chrome Book or Base computer. You have to use a cloud printing platform. I have a new HP Envy 4502, and I set it up wireless and use Google Cloud Print. It took me about a half hour set it up to print via the Cloud.I have another printer, HP 240? for my old Windows HP computer. I had to work around and use a Chrome store app to set up that printer to work from the old HP Computer and the cloud. It was a PIA to get it done. But it works even with Win 10 using my Chrome Browser.

set it up with the wireless (WIFI) connection. i did that in my house & it worked much better than trying to connect with a cable. Now any PC with WIFI can print to it, including Tablets

Cindy, you're advice is the only solution I found to connecting this printer wirelessly, thank you, we had used the printer hard wired for about a year, but wanted to move it across the room, and I couldn't find any mention of how to connect the printer, I had entered the password correctly but didn't realize that I needed to re-enter the access point name manually even though the printer already listed it as an option, this advice was a life saver Also, when switching from direct wired to wireless it's confusing on the computer, even after connecting the printer via the printer control panel, I was still getting an error message saying the printer was offline, and finally figured out that the printer listed in the control panel on the pc, was theoretically a separate printer, the "old" printer, the computer recognizing it as hard wired and seeing it added wirelessly as a new printer, now named in the control panel separately as "Canon MP560 WS" instead of "Canon MP560", but again Windows didn't automatically add the wirelessly connected printer, it had to be added, and looked to be the "old" printer you're advice was most helpful and the only place I saw it listed, no less, but even after clearing the hurdle of setting up the connection on the printer itself, I still had a ways to go

Sorry! It's just a cheap awful printer. It will not work more than it will. Abandon it and chop it up as HP doesn't make good printers anymore.

I read through the forums on the HP web site and it appears that it does not. It definitely does not print from an iOS device. You may find apps that promise to print from any Bluetooth printer, but most of those rely on having a Windows or Mac laptop connected to the device via Bluetooth, and you use the app to connect to the laptop via wifi. This use of a laptop as a print server is not very useful because the laptop needs special software and if you have a laptop you probably wouldn't be trying to print from your phone/tablet. The only connectivity that the HP site promises is Windows and Mac laptops. I read through the forums on the HP web site and it appears that it does not.

I used an HP printer with a USB connect. The computer found and loaded the drivers, no problem. I just had to go into the control panel and change the default printer.

Connect it directly to your router and assign it a static I.P. address then all your devices regardless of how they are connected, wired, wireless will be able to print to this printer. There's really no need to have a wireless printer ever.

I am running it on Win7 machines w/o any problems. As per one of the comments, I downloaded the latest drivers from HP and installed from them rather than the CD. It also installed HP eprint, which allows any device on your local LAN to print & have used it to print from iPad using the ap available from Apple store.

I love this computer - it works great and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, inexpensive laptop. You can hook up a printer via a USB port, the ethernet, wireless router or bluetooth. Like others said you will need to have a wireless router and your printer software to hook it up that way, check w/ their websites on-line, the software is usually downloadable if you don't have it already installed.

Scott M. is correct. The printer does not have wireless capability. But if you have a router for a home network, connect the printer to a port on the router with an Ethernet cable. Then every device that can talk to the router can see and use the printer. In our house we have three laptops and an iPad all using the printer without difficulty.

The original drivers it came with would be useless unless you have a very old computer. We have needed to upgrade our drivers several times over the years with changes of OS. HP has done a good job maintaining generic drivers that work with the old printers. We use ours by network printing, so none of the computers are directly connected to it.
