I hate to show my ignorance, but do "wireless" printers have to be set up wireless?

If I understand your question, it can be set up with a direct to connect to your computer instead. If you want to access it through a wireless computer that is also easy to do.

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!

If you have a wireless router you don't connect the cable, otherwise you can connect this with the cable if you don't have a wireless router.

I too am waiting on this answer before I make a purchase. I was told that all wireless printers have the option to turn off the wireless but want to be certain of that. Can somebody please comment on this?

This is not a wireless printer. It is HP ePrint capable which means you can print from wireless devices through a network but not directly to the printer.

Yes. Even though this printer is supposed to be WIFI (wireless) it still requires a USB cable for initial install. Plus, if you have issues setting up the WIFI like many others do, then you will need this cable to print your document(s).

I don't do wireless printing. I plan to in the near future. Since the Acer has built-in wifi capability and is running Windows 7 -- as long as you have a wifi printer or a wifi home network with a shared printer attached I assume it will do wireless printing.

It says it is wireless, but I use it wired into a network. It is an excellent printer.

Sure thing! You don't have to go wireless. Just hook straight up to your computer. Actually easier set up. Love my little printer..so quick! :-)

No, this is not a wireless printer. You can purchase 3rd party wireless adapter and make it so, but by default it must be physically connected to a computer or router.

No this is not a wireless printer. However connect it to a wireless router and your all set. Love the printer have one for home and one in my office.

That is how mine is set up. We have multiple laptops and a desktop configured to print wirelessly.

Yes you can. You just need to follow the quick setup manual that comes with the device. It's pretty straight forward to set things up. Use the ethernet cable that comes with the device to connect your non-wireless printer to this device.

I am assuming you have a wireless device like a laptop. You will need to install the device driver included with the printer and choose network. It will detect the printer on your network. The printer should be connected to an network port on your wireless router in order for it work before you install the driver.

I print with my iPad on it but the printer needs to be connected to your wireless network.

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.

I'm sorry, I no longer have this printer! And, I can't remember if I was able to make it wireless!

Yes, you can setup wireless or cabled print, as long as the printer has capability to receive wireless signals.

This printer is not a wireless printer. You have to connect it directly to a router (with Ethernet cable) and the router can send out the wireless signal.
