can I print directly from my laptop to the printer?

Yes. If you setup the printer as a wireless printer you will be able to print to the printer just like it was plugged into the laptop. Of course you will need the printer and the laptop connected to the same wirless signal. You will also be able to print from other computers as well. Mac or pc. If you are running vista or older it will be VERY difficult to setup BUT if you have windows 7 or later it is a breeze to setup

The wireless facility has never functioned on this, but if you use a USB cable it'll work fine.

Yes. A printer can be added. I used an external USB DVD/RW drive. Just plug the drive into the USB port of the laptop and put in the disk that contain the drivers for the printer just like you would for an internal drive.

Yes, you can print using WiFi or USB. I use Wi-Fi and it's fantastic! Make sure your printer has WiFi or else you'll need to use USB

Yes. Mine is connected to my computer by way of a standard USB cable, which is provided when you order the printer. If it prints wirelessly, I don't use it that way. Good luck.

Yes, you can. You will have to set up your printer on your wireless network first. The printer itself does not have wireless, but if you connect it to your wireless network (via ethernet cord), your laptop will be able to see it while on the network.

Yes you can. In fact, that's the same setup I have. Just activate the wireless on the printer and connect the desktop via an USB. Your laptop will seek out the wireless connection. Good luck.

Yes you have to use an usb port from the computer. A standard printer usb cord is used, standard usb on one end and the D on the other

Not directly because this printer doesnt has airprint, but you can print with a program called cloudprint. Hope this help you

i don't know because the printer is attached to a Windows laptop, but the person who uses the printer says it works perfectly well except that he needed to purchase a USB that didn't come with printer

Yes, I have a printer hooked up to mine -- works great. I'm very pleased with this laptop!

Yes, you can do this! I recommend printing from your computer using the Epson software that comes with the printer or a program such as Photoshop. Set the Epson software to "professional mode" for the best results.

In theory, yes you can. It operates on a wireless 802.11 connection. Two caveats: 1) some people have reported problems in making wireless connections with this and other HP printers; and 2) you have to setup the wireless connection initially through the USB port, i.e., it has to be connected to your computer to setup the wireless connection.

Yes, you can. You can easily print to a "cloud printer". If you do not have a cloud printer (I did not have one, I have a wireless printer connected to my home network), the setup is a bit trickier, but it is still possible. In the case of not having a cloud printer, you need to configure another computer in your network to make your wireless (or wired) printer and non-chromebook computer combination look like a "cloud printer" to your home network. Then you can print from your chromebook to your printer as long as your non-chromebook computer that you configured is powered on and not hibernating. It sounds complicated and is a bit of a learning experience, however I got mine setup in less than a half hour. You can Google search for "google cloud print" for more details.

The printer itself needs to be plugged into a network via ethernet. You can print wirelessly from a computer to the printer as long as the printer itself is connected via ethernet. You do not need to connect a cable from your printer to your computer in order to print using this printer.

I was able to. Simply Connecting your computer to this device will allow you to send to your wireless printer.

U can only print from your computer. Its not a copy machine but just a printer. Its a good printer

Yes, absolutely. Ethernet cable from the printer to a free port on your router. Install the software on your laptop, and off you go!
