Can I plug a printer in this to make my printer wireless like I could with the Apple airport express? It broke after 16 months and was 5x the price of

I think you can, although I did not use it for that. I used it in a hotel to turn a "high speed internet connection" (wired) into a wireless access point for mobile devices.

Yes a wired network printer can work wireless with this gadget. The manual is not good at all so you should have some basic knowledge of networks and IP configuration.

Yes you can. It needs some very little configuration. You should be able to do it following the set-up instruction. I use it for similar concept.

No you can't.....it comes with wired connections only. you might be able to add a wireless receiver and plug it in, but that might be problematic as the printer already goes off line and with the wired connection and there are problems getting it to go back on....we don't know why, but it did the same thing with the first 430dn we had and it's now doing it with the second brand new 430dn that was replaced by Ricoh under warranty. Make sure you buy a service contract for your new machine because you'll need it! Oh yeah and the second one is giving print issues just as the first one did.

Sure will! I can print from my phone and my wife prints to it from here mac laptop. I haven't figured out how to secure the connection but so far my neighbors haven't printed anything to it. :&gt; I really like this printer a lot!

Yes you can. It comes with a cable that connects the computer and the printer. This enables you to print without having to use it wireless.

Not directly. You can use the wireless through a network that is hooked up to it. You would need the x451dw which is wireless directly to/from the printer.

Yes, it can be used as wireless or with usb. It is inkjet, one color and one black cartridge. It can set to print 2 sided.

I set mine up wireless with my macbook pro- no problem. It was so easy that my mother who is totally computer illiterate decided to get one also and set it up with her regular macbook- also no problem. As long as you read (AND FOLLOW) the instructions you shouldn't have a problem. I will admit it's not as quick of a setup as a regular wired printer, but if you do it correctly the first time around it takes 30-45 minutes and then you are done!

Yes you can. It should connect easily to all wireless printers. I know it connects to my cannon.

If you mean can you connect this to a computer to use it to connect to a wireless printer, the answer is yes. IF you are asking can you use this to plug into the printer so your computer can connect wirelessly (making the printer go from a wired printer to a wireless printer) -- I would need significantly more information than provided. The likely answer is NO. However, some printers support usb functionality such as hard drives, etc... however, in all those situations they are recently made and I would imagine that wireless is already built into them. I have never heard of a situation where this was possible. There are ways to connect a wired printer to your wireless network system and have it respond like a wireless printer.

as far as I know you can I use it with this printer. It has to be a Air printer.

Yes, but not wirelessly. I spent a lot of time looking up what I was doing wrong that it wouldn't connect. It seems that Apple doesn't use the WPS(?) protocol for wireless printing, and this printer does not use generic WiFi. (If I'm wrong, please, someone let me know because I would like to have this not be connected via USB cable!) For the price, and the print quality, using a cable was not a deal breaker, though.

I plugged my printer into one of the wired jacks on my router using a network cable. It works perfectly as a shared printer on my wireless network.

I don't see why not. I found the whole set up to be a bit less than stellar and decided to switch to Apple Airport Extreme and Express. It's much easier to use and much more reliable. plug and play and it just works. You can also use two expresses or three if necessary and they'll work together seamlessly as one big network.

I meant no, it won't work with airport/airport express. I think I said airplay.

Just plug into printer and your wireless router and into a wall outlet. It's that easy!

You need to check your printer cable's plug in as the square shaped. If it is the same, then you wouldn't have any problems. I like mine because it's long that I can hook it on with my laptop as well. I would love to have wireless printer but want to save money on my end. Good luck.

Yes, I have printed documents and have the Apple airport express that allows me to print through my hp printer wirelessly with no issues.
