i don't think so. i think the usb port is only for expanding storage volume.

Yes but make sure the drivers for the USB connect are available for printer first!

I have never seen a wireless printer that didn't have a USB port to allow it to be plugged into a computer. In addition, this is not a wireless printer. Therefore, it can be plugged in as can any printer.

Yes you can. Just like a laptop, for example, you may connect a USB printer (keep in mind there is only 1 USB port) or add a wireless printer.

The dock has three universal serial bus ports, so if your hard drive has a USB connection, you shouldn't have a problem. If your printer has a USB connection, you can probably plug that in too. I have not tried hard-wiring to a printer, but it makes sense. If you are connecting those two and a mouse and keyboard, you may want to look at a USB hub.

If you get a router that has a USB port, then you can use that. It will become a network printer then.

There should not be any printer this wont work with as long as there is a driver for the operating system you have. Following my steps creates a permanent port as if it were connected directly to the PC so as long as the PC has good drivers you should be ok.

I don't believe you can do this. The USB port is for USB hard drives like this: http://www.amazon.com/External-Hard-Drives-Storage-Add-Ons/b?ie=UTF8&node;=595048 The Cloud router has a small operating system in it that does not have the ability to support a printer. Hope this helps.

A USB port is a USB port. When connected to a printer that is turned on (such as my HP 4+), it will be recognized as a USB Printer. It really is that simple. There is a question with a response from a Win 8 user and he reports no problems. Once you have the printer connected to your computer through this USB to parallel adapter, you'll need to "add" the printer to your list of printers.

Yes, most printers can be hooked up to the computer via a USB. This motherboard has plenty of usb slots to choose from.

I print from via usb connection all the time with my laptop, no problem. Obviously, you have to install the driver like any printer or usb device.

Yes. The computer has plenty of USB ports, which is how I connect my printer.

I'd assume any printer that has a USB port to connect to the computer, as most new printers have this. I don't use it to print things personally.

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 using the print function should work just fine' providing your printer is in the network sharing

Sue, You are incorrect. The printer can print USB, but like most printers for the last decade it does not include a USB cable (about $3 on Amazon if you can't find one at your house). Printing by USB is identical to printing wireless and you are not required to email the documents. It is just a different way of connecting the printer. Of course, a wireless connection also allows multiple computers to send print jobs at once. If you are printing strictly by email you are completely lost and confused. I would suggest you ask a more tech sauvy friend of yours to help out. The email "feature" you are referring to is for when you are away from your computer at home and want to email a document to be printed over the internet.

The USB port acts as a print server for any usb printer. You can't add an external hard disk to this unit
