Can I hook this up to a Wireless USB Print Server appliance box? (so I can print wireless from my laptop)

One added note: I'm using a Hawking HMPS2U 4 port USB Hub and it works outstanding. Just remember to get everything working direct first. Then when you install the USB Hub, it'll recognize all the printers you want wireless via the USB Hub.

That is how I have mine working. One note of caution: For it to work properly, you should first hook it up directly to each computer you want to switch to a wireless USB Hub. That way, when you install your USB Hub, it'll automatically find the printer. What brand of USB Wireless hub are you using?

I believe you need the HP Jetdirect 2700w USB Wireless Print Server J8026A.

It couldnt work as a print server if it is a native. But you can install linux instead of native. Then you can construct print server

I actually never tried to connect a printer. I was try to use it as a wireless hard drive sharing port.... It didn't work so I sent it back. Good Luck! It may work for printers..

Yes you need a USB cord pluged in to your computor or lap top if you want to print from there you don't need to be hooked up to anything if you want to make copies only hope this helps it is not a wireless printer'

If you mean can you connect this to a computer to use it to connect to a wireless printer, the answer is yes. IF you are asking can you use this to plug into the printer so your computer can connect wirelessly (making the printer go from a wired printer to a wireless printer) -- I would need significantly more information than provided. The likely answer is NO. However, some printers support usb functionality such as hard drives, etc... however, in all those situations they are recently made and I would imagine that wireless is already built into them. I have never heard of a situation where this was possible. There are ways to connect a wired printer to your wireless network system and have it respond like a wireless printer.

You need a router with USB port and printer capable or USB printer to Wifi adapter.Read http://www.ricksdailytips.com/convert-usb-printer-to-wireless/

Hi D. Ambrose, If you have a wireless printer, you can connect it to it as you would any other wireless device and print. If it's not a wireless printer, then no. We hope this helps!

Absolutely. Depending on your router's features, you should have two options available. 1) Connect it to the router via Ethernet cable, then connect to it through your network. Exactly how you do this depends on your OS. Note that in this case the PC you use to se it up will basically become the "print server" and will need to be turned on if you wish to print from a different PC. 2) Some routers will let you hook up the printer via a USB cable, in which case you will configure the printer via the router's GUI, and the router will be the print server.

Yes....you can also print with a usb attachment that you can buy on amazon...I believe it is called otg wire....wireless or wired....

You can still use this printer with USB, wireless is a new feature that is sometimes more convenient for network use. As to price, it is a very good value.

Can't tell you for sure. But I do have it set up to print wireless from my computer.

Yes Tomato firmware will make it an USB printer server. Go to myopenrouter site for details.

No you can't.....it comes with wired connections only. you might be able to add a wireless receiver and plug it in, but that might be problematic as the printer already goes off line and with the wired connection and there are problems getting it to go back on....we don't know why, but it did the same thing with the first 430dn we had and it's now doing it with the second brand new 430dn that was replaced by Ricoh under warranty. Make sure you buy a service contract for your new machine because you'll need it! Oh yeah and the second one is giving print issues just as the first one did.

Not directly. You can use the wireless through a network that is hooked up to it. You would need the x451dw which is wireless directly to/from the printer.

You can set up a wireless printer with this router, I have two set up wirless WIFI with this router. Your question on USB is confusing as that indicates a wire hookup to your computer or some such to the printer. That is not wireless. You can set up a wireless printer with this router provided the signal from the router is available at the location of the printer.

I personally have not tried that with this device, but I doubt it. The device is designed for printers, your wireless should be set up for usb connection.
