Can it work as a standalone printer in my store (not connected to anything but power and internet) and to access it from my home and tell it to print?

That is really a networking question, the printer is capable of doing this. If it is plugged directly in to the internet with no router (which I doubt) then you just need to put your computer at home to the internet ip address of the store. If its connected to the router (most likely) then you need to setup port forwarding on the router (or a VPN which is the better question) this is probably something that you need a IT person for especially if you deal with credit cards or sensitive customer information.

This printer has a network card so that it can be connected by wire to the internet through your router. Your computer can then communicate with it through your router.

If you can connect to Wi-Fi, then you should be able to print. My son has a chrome book and he can print. Hope this helps!

Yes you can share the printer from your computer or buy a card to update. My seller name is thermal printer outlet

Yes, but extremely easy to do. Your computer or mobile device will "look" for the printer if you are in its range or you can e-mail your printer if you are out of range. Of course, you can connect the printer via wires to your computer if you wish. Works great!

I have mine connected to our network and print to it from everywhere. I think it just depends on your network.

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.

Yes! You could add it to a network, with the addition of a $25 J4102B HP Jetdirect 170x Print Server (here on amazon).. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00012HV9U/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition;=used Hope this helps!

Yes it can. One reason I bought it was because it was wireless. But it keeps dropping of my home network so I just keep it plugged in with a USB cable. Other than that issue it is a great little label printer

Marci, the printer would have to be connected direct to a computer in order to work with no internet service. It would only work from the computer to which it is connected.

absolutley, its a great standalone. I have it on wireless and my computer is networked to it. I do all my scanning through the computer using there software. But it is fine as a standalone. I have 3 of these printers

I have no interest in doing that, so I did not check that out when I purchased the printer. I am not home at this point, so I don't have access to the manual, but having just spent a few minutes on the HP web sight, it does not look like it can be used as a wireless device. Because the printer has been out for a while, HP does not support it via the phone any longer. I have had my for about 3 years not with no problems and I am very happy with its use. BW only and does not have a flat bed scanning ability. For scanning you just feed it in for the scan.......A very durable machine.

I print from mine all the time. My HP printer is setup on Wifi instead of plugged in to a computer. I use Cloud Print to print to it. Super easy, and I can print from any device anywhere.

No. You can hook it up to a wireless router and access it that way. It's an excellent printer. I little noisy, but the print quality and scan quality are the best.

I do not have WIFI at home either, and I can print using Samsung printing app from my HTC cell phone. The printer has it's own WIFI built in.And it is set for WIFI direct when arrived.It comes with a CD for installation from yourPC.

Absolutely. Depending on your router's features, you should have two options available. 1) Connect it to the router via Ethernet cable, then connect to it through your network. Exactly how you do this depends on your OS. Note that in this case the PC you use to se it up will basically become the "print server" and will need to be turned on if you wish to print from a different PC. 2) Some routers will let you hook up the printer via a USB cable, in which case you will configure the printer via the router's GUI, and the router will be the print server.

Nope, but you may have to manually enter the IP address if your printer is saying offline.
