Do I need to buy any additional cables to share a usb printer?

You will need a cable from the printer to the switch, the switch already has cables that go from the switch to you computers

No. You just need a usb cable to connect your printer to the hub (male usb type A). This is the same cable that you would normally use to connect to your computer, but instead of wiring it to your computer, you wire it into one of the inputs of the hub. The hub has two usb type A cables coming out of it that go to the two computers that are sharing your devices.

yes a usb-a to a usb-b cable. Cable always comes with the printer but I have no idea if yours is a new printer or not.FYI, The device does not work very well unless it is plugged into a usb port directly on the device, (laptop desktop etc.) Meaning I have a lot of trouble using the usb ports on all 4- 26" dell monitor usb ports. They work for a few weeks then I have to change the usb cable from the monitor to the desktop to another desktop usb port to get it to work again.

I looked at the specs... I didn't see any other port option for the USB print server. To tell you the truth... I believe you would be better off just buying a printer with bluetooth built in. Printers today are not that expensive.

Yes. You can connect the computer and printer to a WIRED Ethernet network. If you don't need to share the printer, just connect the computer to the printer with the USB cable included.

Hi joe andrew here yes all that you should need a USB printer cable that you can get any where and you also need to install the printer program that came with your printer and that should be all you need to do.

Yes you can. Just plug the included cable to the machine and the other end to the computer's USB slot, click "Print" and voilá!

From the computer to the switch module it uses two standard usb type A to B connectors which you will need to purchase separately. The cable from the switch to the printer is included with the switch. I have 20 foot cables on it and it works great.

No. This is a wired printer. You must have a USB printer cable in order to connect this machine to your computer.

There is a usb connection at the back of the printer, you just have to install the software before connecting it.

Mine had CDs for drivers and additional software. Up-to-date drivers can be found online. Power cable included but not Ethernet nor USB, as I recall. Manuals were included too, though you can find those online too. BTW, this printer has worked very well for several years of light home office use.

A standard USB to printer cable is correct and should be a few dollars at WalMart or BestBuy, or you local supermarket.,(http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Compatible+With+HP+PSC+All-in-One+Printer+USB+2.0+Cable+Cord+A-B+-+White/1307200988.p?id=mp1307200988&skuId;=1307200988&st;=printer%20cable&cp;=1&lp;=6). Hope this helps.

No you do not need the ethernet cable, everything is wireless with the exception of faxing in which you will need a phone line going the back of this printer. Hope this help

no additional cable is needed, simply connect to the port on your computer(cpu) and turn 1 USB port into 4, hope this helps.

For the data portion this printer can use a USB cable and be connected directly to a computer. You still however need to use the enclosed power adapter to power the unit.

A toner and power cable are both included with this printer but NOT a usb cable

Yes. The computer has plenty of USB ports, which is how I connect my printer.

This printer features an ethernet connection, meaning it can be networked and used by multiple computers. If you are using the USB connection, you would need to connect it to a print server for sharing.I recommend the networked option. The guide should include a walkthrough for setting it up.

You need a printer switch.. and in that configuration you'll have 3 cables total... 1 from each PC to the switch and 1 from the switch to the printer.. but honestly, now a days, you're better off getting a wireless print server if it's compatible or set up file and printer sharing across the workgroup/network if this is being used in a small office or home environment.
