Can I simply plug the printer into my computer (running XP Pro) with the USB connection in the front, and then just print as I currently do?

I think the connection in front is just for a USB stick. I'm not positive, but I assume it is a "host" connection, not a client, so you cannot plug in a computer in the front. There is a USB connection to the back, and as a network printer you can connect wirelessly.

The USB connection to "hard wire" the printer to your computer is located under the top cover of the printer...very easily accessible and very easy to hook up. The instructions provided with the printer are very easy to understand and show the connection very well. Hope this helps!

The only way I know of is to print via the USB cable if you aren't connected to the network it is on.

Yes, you can. From the printer touchscreen display you can select a memory device such as a flash drive, or the computer, or the cloud. From the Epson scan utility on your computer you can select a USB drive if it's already connected to your computer.

There is no option for plug and play connections to printers, etc. Printing happens either to another location or using a windows-based network running chrome. I still have not successfully printed anything. This aspect is really the only downside to the chromebook that I have experienced thus far.

Yes, I run my computer with XP. It's running great and I do alot of printing. It's worth it.

I would say no. I already had software that I was using and all I had to do was download the printer drivers for it to work for me.

Although I connect mine wirelessly, there is a port on back of the printer to hardwire connect via USB directly to your computer, otherwise you must have a wireless router.

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.

I have not personally done this. However, the printer comes with instructions on how to connect it to a computer. My printer did not come with a cable to make the connection. You'd need to get a cable compatible with the USB port (input) on the left side of the 3510 Inkjet and the output on your PC. In the past, such a connector was relatively inexpensive, about $10, but I'd check directly with HP service giving them the model number of your computer as well as the model of this inkjet and find out what cable would be needed. Amazon might carry it, or your local supplier. A newer PC should be no problem. Please let me know if you need further details, S. Green, and good luck! I have not personally done this.

My guess is no as the printer is not wireless and uses a USB cable for connection to the computer.

Yes u can, first u have to install the driver with the CD that came with ur printer, and make sure the pics are in jpeg format

That's a very good question, my guess is no, because I think you have to install drivers to make it work, but it might also depend on the printer? Might be worth some googling around

There is a usb drive on the front of the printer so I would assume you could print right from that. And I use this printer with my Windows 8. Love the Printer. It is also wireless if you have a router you can go wireless with it. simple to use and saves on ink and scans a lot of sheets and holds a pack of paper. It is a awesome printer

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.

Yes, you can print using WiFi or USB. I use Wi-Fi and it's fantastic! Make sure your printer has WiFi or else you'll need to use USB

yes. I put my SD card into it, then put the Transcend Information USB into my printer's USB port. The printer then displays what is on the SD card and I can print from there. No computer needed.
