Can this be set up as a network receipt printer? I have 4 computers and each have a magtek usb swiper, so I would like to just buy 1 Thermal Printer.

when you set up your printer, share it then have each cash register print to the shared printer

We use Macintosh computers for our printer. We have it linked it to our airport which is the router for Macintosh computers. All our computers can then print from anywhere in the house.The HP technical people are helpful. You need to tell them it's an business printer, not a personal home printer. Whatever they can't help you with would involve your network company. The machine is designed for Windows machines first so I would imagine it supports Windows 7 or 8.

It didn't work for me; I have a Mac. I tried all settings. The manufacturer said it is not compatible with Amazon sales. Which is odd since they are 4X6 labels. Amazon really needs to manufacture a thermal printer that is compatible with their site and a Mac--it's a losing battle right now.

Sue,You are incorrect. The printer can print USB, but like most printers for the last decade it does not include a USB cable (about $3 on Amazon if you can't find one at your house).Printing by USB is identical to printing wireless and you are not required to email the documents. It is just a different way of connecting the printer. Of course, a wireless connection also allows multiple computers to send print jobs at once. If you are printing strictly by email you are completely lost and confused. I would suggest you ask a more tech sauvy friend of yours to help out. The email "feature" you are referring to is for when you are away from your computer at home and want to email a document to be printed over the internet. Sue,You are incorrect.

Peggy, I have loaded both my Macs and Windows PCs (I have three PCs that use the Samsumg as default [Xp, Vista and 7] and have no issues with them and Macs using it. The Vista has no issues on set-up, I did use an USB 2.0 cable with XP, and then used WiFi with it, as I explained in review. No, you can have sumultaneous print jobs from all.

What is a thermal receipt? I scan paper only. I do not know whether it will scan thermal receipts or not. Sorry.

I just got mine and followed instruction my fiance found online to install it. Here is the link: http://help.shipstation.com/customer/portal/articles/1092200-how-do-i-set-up-a-zebra-thermal-printer-on-my-mac- It depends on what you would use this thermal printer for and what applications you would use this with. For other purposes, I tested it, and it works. However, a few other applications that are not designed for Mac or not integrated with Mac, then, you would not be able to use this thermal printer properly without going through quite some hoops. For instance, if you are using this with Seller Central (which is a platform for 3p-sellers on Amazon) you would not be able to use this printer for printing item labels from Seller Central, or from Scan-and-ship.

Yes you can, this is The EPrint and Share feature. All you need is the email of the printer (each printer has its own address) and that's it

I set it up for wireless printing for two laptops with no problems. I was worried that the one using Windows Vista might have issues, so I first set it up on the laptop using Windows 7. I felt that the instruction book was confusing, so I just followed the install wizard. Got both laptops set up with no issues.

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

I use this printer on a network, with both Windows 8 (8.1 Update) and Windows 7 machines, with no difficulty or any apparent compatibility problems. I'd make sure you have the latest driver installed in case that addresses any Win 8 compatibility issues. The only phenomenon I have encountered (I won't even call it an issue) is that when I have a power outage, the printer gets reassigned a new IP address and can't communicate with the PC. This is readily solved by "adding" a new printer at the new IP address.

I would expect you can if each computer has been linked with the printer via the router through wireless mode. If trying to hard-wire connect three different computers you need some type "splitter" box with connections to each computer and then to the computer.Me, I have two different printers (Epson wireless connected, and second older Epson haywire

The devices you use with this device have to be USB. And, you can only use one or the other, not both at the same time. I bought it so that I could have two computers on one desk which could both print from the same printer, not simultaneously, but each computer as it is being used. There is a switch on the device which lets you choose one or the other. Hope this answers your question.

I own 2 of these. I use a laptop for work that travels with me. I only installed the software once and both identical printers in 2 different locations work perfectly

I don't know if it does or not but i have used several receipt printers and it should work. I don't have any doubt why it shouldn't. Fyi, i used different pos. And it is connected as regular printer and that is why it will work.

As a thermal printer, its cable driven, and it would not have any way to interface or attach to ipad or iphone. You would need to find a wireless version.
