Does it stay in sleep mode and queue files to print when hard wire through the Ethernet connection?

Apple has fixed the wifi wake from sleep mode issue in iOS 8.x. And yes, it wakes from sleep through Ethernet too.

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.

No, but it does connect to a network via an ethernet cable. Once connected it works as if connected directly to your computer. You can scan, print, etc. directly from the computer.

Not really, as long as you have a Wi-fi connection and your laptop is connected, it doesn't drop connection continuously or because of sleeping mode.

I have two PCs on a home network, with this print server also on the network. I was able to print from both PCs simultaneously. The print jobs were queued in the order received. The first job was 5 pages while the second was only one page. All 5 pages printed before the single page, just as you would expect.

It is supposed to be wireless. I have not used it. I have only used network cable or USB cable to print. The wireless settings were some what cumbersome to setup so I use network cable. Since I have time capsule, I print wirelessly that way instead of using Printers wireless capabilities.

Not without manually reloading the paper after the first side print. I also experience regular wifi drop outs where I have to not just turn off but also unplug the printer to get it to respond to print or scan.

No you must connect the printer to an Ethernet connection then it prints over thee network.

I'm not sure I understand your question? First let me preface with, this is not a print server. This is a wifi to LAN adaptor. It is the equivalent of having a long Ethernet cable between you printer or other networkable device and you router/hub/switch, without the cable but using wireless in its place. If your printer is network aware and your computer has the correct proper software for its OS to print to a networkable printer then you should not have a problem.

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

Yes. Our printer has LAN connection to router on my wife's desk, but I print wirelessly off my MacBook in same home office.

Yes, ours is hard wired via Ethernet cable. Works great this way while also able to Airprint from iPad and wirelessly with our various laptops.

Since mine is off between printings, I have not seen the problem. When it is asleep, it stays there.

Why would you want to? That is a key feature of the printer. Long power up time vs. power save, you can't beat it. If you want to, disable power save, for money reasons? Probably not worth the hassle. It's a great feature, mine is on power save as we speak.

Mine does! I entered the password for my encrypted signal and the system did everything automatically. Best of all, I can SELECT either the hard-wired Ethernet or the Wi-Fi signal. The Ethernet is MUCH faster.

I'm having the same problem. I just rebooted it and used it for a while, browsing the embedded web server, then watched it go dead as soon as it entered sleep mode. I woke it up by tapping the touchscreen but it still doesn't reconnect. Its wireless status screen shows it connected with an IP address. Pinging that IP address gets no response. Very frustrating. UPDATE: Rebooting my Netgear N600 (Model WNDR3700) router seemed to fix the problem, even after the printer went back into sleep mode.

Yes, the computer directly controls the motion of the printer. If the computer is turned off or goes to sleep, the print will stop immediately.
