Work w/ Linux? I know HP works well with Linux, but will this, and over the network?

Yes. It supports IPP as well as lpr/d and cups ppd files are available via brothers site in both .debs and .rpms. Also the interface can be configured via telnet. http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/download_prn.html#HL-2170W

I've had it working on Windows xp/Vista/7/8/8.1 so far. Unsure about Linux at this point.

Caveat: I don't own one. But most of your questions have more to do with Linux. The only sharing problem you might have is if there aren't linux drivers for your printer. Otherwise it will happily see and work with your home lan. You can probably find the printer driver with a little googling up front. SMTP client: Dunno what's on board, but you can download and install any of several. Mozilla makes a very slick open source email client. Hope it helps at least a bit.

The card certainly supports it. I've purchased several of them but use them in VMware servers, not desktops. It's HP, so there's a good chance that it will work fine; their products are usually compatible with mainstream devices and OSs.

Not even Google knows. Perhaps a visit to a Linux forum will help?Other than that, I'd say it doesn't work with Linux, as don't most other PC apps.

HP specs that printer to have aBidirectional ECP type-B parallel port (IEEE-1284 compliant) so it should work when paired with a computer with a USB 2.0 port - I doubt it will work with a newer computer that only has USB 3.0 ports. They are not always retroactively compliant.

I don't have an HP but I don't see why it shouldn't. Personally I don't like the software and I am trying to find something else that works with it

I believe this wireless NIC uses the ath9K drivers under Linux, which means it should probably work with most distributions right out of the box.

i am not a computer geek so my answer may be of limited usefulness. my ubuntu-linux laptop was builtby my brother who himself maintains several such machines when he travels away from home. i only buyproducts he says will work together and i , too, looked at bottom of ad to see if linux listed.my guess is will work fine. however, my brother is traveling and i cannot ask before tomorrow. he and live several thousandmiles apart so communication not speedy. they do not cost a bunch and i really like mine.

I find downloading a driver from HP very easy and can be done here:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc;=en&product;=304431I have three HP 5150 installed as network printers and they are great!

I have been using it with my HP desktop since I received it. It has worked without a glitch. Strangely when I used the desktop with the Ethernet cable I would sometimes lose internet service.

I have HP Procurve switches and they work (HP 1800 series, an 8 port and 24 port) both work fine. I'm not sure what models Synology state as working. I would assume that the vast majority of switches supporting Link Aggregation would work these days, however, I've only had direct experience with the HP 1800's, which work very well. (Corrected Switch Model series)

I have no idea, since the one we have has done everything it is supposed to do and never given any trouble at all. Now all that said, I do run Ubuntu Linux instead of Windows or Macintosh, and didn't use the included CD to install drivers or other software. With Linux it is just plug it in and it works, though you do need to install the HP Toolbox app to monitor your ink levels. So maybe the Windows software or drivers are the problem others are having. I couldn't be happier with it!

well, according to the research I just did on it online, the answer should be yes. it says it can be used with hp as as well as with the systems, and i've always been able to plug it into something different and use it. they're pretty handy like that.

Donna, I had many problems making it work with anything wireless. I'd go through long, involved resetting the device with HP support and it would work for a day or so then stop. Repeat the process for another days use. I finally gave up and just use it as a USB printer. When the expensive ink cartridges run out, I'm throwing it in the recycling. Without a doubt that will be its finest moment.

I don't know if specifically your HP printer, but I configured a mini network with Canon Printer WiFi and it works very well.
