Can you connect the printer using all 3 methods at the same time....USB, wired and wireless?

Yes but it will only use one connection method at a time. As long as the printer is on the network it shouldn't matter.

I have only used wired and wireless. I began to use it wired before connecting to my router. Now I can print remote. But do to your question I will used the USB function ASAP. But I am very happy with this printer up to date.

I've installed it USB to USB. I don't believe it has wireless capability but will check. I don't know about a wired way. The printer doesn't have a port for a parallel or serial feed from a computer

I've only used the wireless and wired method -- I know you have to have it set to one or the other -- you can call Brother directly and ask - they have a great help line.

No. You can connect the USB cord directly to computer. But for the wireless you do need a wireless network, and there are Internet features like Google Print that would only be available with an Internet connection.

I believe you can...would need to connect to the printer with usb cable...I connected the printer to a laptop to down load up dates when setting things up, but we use it wi-fi since more than one person uses it...

Yes, this printer accepts wireless, ethernet and USB connections. Ethernet performs best. Note that no USB cable is provided.

My guess is no as the printer is not wireless and uses a USB cable for connection to the computer.

Short answer: No. You cant. sorry. Long answer: I don't believe you will be able to get this working. You could try to print wireless via Airport Extreme USB (remember it wasnt successful - my info is atleast 2 years old). Maybe there is a newer version..

This printer is not a wireless printer. It can only be hooked up using a USB cable.

I am trying to get connection for this printer. It did not come with a USB cord and I don't see how to connect to my computer "wirelessly". Any info on what the "little deal" is, would be much appreciated.....

Sorry should have clarified - I'm just trying to use a direct, simple wired connection using a USB interface cable directly from my laptop to the printer. It doesn't seem to come online. Have you tried just doing a wired print on a cable that is greater than 6 feet?

Yes but make sure the drivers for the USB connect are available for printer first!

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 can print with a usb from my mac. Wireless still doesn't work after spending hours with customer care.

You can connect to this printer with USB and WiFi simultaneously. Get details from the User's Guide for this printer which is available on the HP website.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for posting your question here, Terri! No, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00484IEJS cannot be used to connect your USB printer to the network. Sorry about that! As per USB specifications, you cannot connect a USB device to another USB device. Both the printer and the http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00484IEJS are both USB devices. As a USB device, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00484IEJS is expected to be connected to an upstream host computer and adds an Ethernet port to the upstream computer. All network settings for this adapter are to be configured on the upstream computer system in order to work. Hope the above information helps!

Although I connect mine wirelessly, there is a port on back of the printer to hardwire connect via USB directly to your computer, otherwise you must have a wireless router.

Yes you can, mine worked best with the USB cable. I got rid of the printer completely because the internal wi-fi card went bad.

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.
