I'm not sure, I bought it and never used it! But amazon will always give you your money back if it doesn't work for you!

I don't think so. The second usb male adapter only comes off about 3 inches from the other. I think its only for usb devices that require more power than one port can provide.

Sorry but this will not connect two computers to one printer. It is used to connect a hard drive etc that needs extra power provided by a second USB port. Connects one device to your computer, and pulls power from two USB ports on that computer..

I have not attempted multiple connections, and use only wireless for mine. I can say the printer has wireless, wifi, and usb connections available, but cannot say if it will accept all simultaneously.

If you don't have a network printer installed (this requires a printer with a network card), you can have the printer on one computer and share it with the network. This printer will be seen on the network as long as the person with the printer attached has their machine on.

Yes, it works great. We have it hard wired to our network, so I cannot vouch for its wireless functionality, but once it is wirelessly connected to your network any computer connected to the network can use it. Our computers that wirelessly connect to our network all can use the printer. Plus our ipad also uses this printer.

The USB port on this router is intended for a single device. Share your USB printer on the network from one of the machines on your network. OR get a wireless usb printserverOR get a NAS with an integrated media reader and hook it to an ethernet port on the router

You can two ways. On a cloud printer hooked up to your network or an existing (old style) printer as long as it is hooked to the network and a PC of some sort.

The switch box has NOT always worked for with two computers attached to 1 printer... You can try it , but there may be signal loss if the USB cables are long.

If, indeed, your printer is Bluetooth 2.0 capable then this should work for you. I have two Bluetooth capable printers and this dongle works for both. However, if your printers are not already Bluetooth capable then this will not help you. This dongle makes your computer Bluetooth 2.0 capable. Hope this helps.

I am sure you can. Not all of our computers in our office is hooked up directly to this printer. It prints from 4 other computers from the wireless connection.

No, the printer will NOT. Your computer, assuming the printer is hooked up to one, will do the work.

I do not know. I used a Windows based OS and I only used it to hook up my printer to my router.

I have only used it with a switch between two computers. It doesn't have wireless capabilities; but I believe it would work as a network printer, when a computer is configured to allow it.

If you had the printer drivers previously installed, I'd say Yes. If the driver isn't loaded, you'd still have to load up the driver. Worked that way on my client's machine running Win 7.

Yes. If you use the software to set up the printer (which is wired), your computer will be able to print to it over your wireless network. Be advised: It is advertised as a Google Cloud Enabled printer. That function no longer works. Brother has stated that they are working to address it, but it is currently not working on this printer.UPDATE: The latest firmware addresses the Google Cloud Print issue

Yes, this device allows you to connect a printer to your network and print to it from any computer connected to the network, both wired and wireless.Thanks for your interest!

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.
