If you mean a router switch, you just need cat 5 cable. you can buy at monoprice.com. If plugging into computer you need to buy hi speed usb cable. hope that answers your question. You can always call HP and ask them you question for best answer.

Im not sure. Some printers need a transformer this is just a standard cord. Find a picture of the printer with a power cord and if it doesnt have a box the cord plugs into then i would assume it would work. Just make sure that the cord has the same input as the printer.

you have to press the appropriate toggle switch to the corresponding computer you want to print from. It does not seem to detect it automatically.

Can I plug -in my Epson Workforce 315 all-in-one printer,fax, copier to this unit ?

This unit should work with any printer that has a USB connection. Each computer thinks it is is the only one connected to the printer. I would suggest pressing the desired switch for computer A or B before starting the print job because the computer has to know it has communication before it will send the print job. On occastion mine fails so I just cancel the print job, operate the switch back and forth to "re-establish" communication and I am good to go.

The printer comes with a Power Cord & a Telephone Cable in the box. The ethernet cable and/or USB cable have to be purchased seperately.

Connect the printer to the pc with a USB cable and it should automatically install using files stored in the printers memory. If this does not work, use the install CD that came with the printer and connect the printer to the PC when instructed.

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?

Sorry but I do not remember. I have another printer now and I am not certain about that particular cord.

Unlikely, the square stand power cord has the build in USB ports needed for this printer. May I suggest looking into a Bluetooth recipt printer, that might be your best bet.

This is basically a simple physical switch, handling the direction of electron flow. I am exclusively on windows, but there is no reason I can think of that you would have a problem (assuming that the printer works with a direct USB cable connection). By the way, the switching is entirely manual (you press a button on the top of the switch), so proximity is important.

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.

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

Chris, what operating system are you using, how are you connected between computer and the printer?

Yes, that is exactly why I purchased it.. Follow the manufacturer settings for the dip switches. In addition make sure you have the printer drivers. It gets a little tricky. It does work!

I used an HP printer with a USB connect. The computer found and loaded the drivers, no problem. I just had to go into the control panel and change the default printer.
