If you have your printer connected to a wireless router or modem, then you would be able to print to your printer from this tablet, just like if you had a laptop and needed to print from it to your printer. You do have to set it up properly like a laptop in order for it to work. You can also plug it into your USB in your computer if you do not have wireless Here is a forum for the Transformer to help you. http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-tf101-help/20124-wireless-printing.html

Yes you need a USB cord pluged in to your computor or lap top if you want to print from there you don't need to be hooked up to anything if you want to make copies only hope this helps it is not a wireless printer'

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

In theory, yes you can. It operates on a wireless 802.11 connection. Two caveats: 1) some people have reported problems in making wireless connections with this and other HP printers; and 2) you have to setup the wireless connection initially through the USB port, i.e., it has to be connected to your computer to setup the wireless connection.

There is no way to print wirelessly though you could print across the network if the machine attached to the printer is turned on. The only good thing about this printer is the small footprint. Otherwise it will give you trouble in ways you never imagined. Steer clear!

i don't know because the printer is attached to a Windows laptop, but the person who uses the printer says it works perfectly well except that he needed to purchase a USB that didn't come with printer

This printer features an ethernet connection, meaning it can be networked and used by multiple computers. If you are using the USB connection, you would need to connect it to a print server for sharing.I recommend the networked option. The guide should include a walkthrough for setting it up.

You can print over a wireless network but you cannot send documents from the printer to a computer. You have to buy the extra piece which is about $100. Didn't opt for it, but may in the future. If you have a USB drive, you can just scan documents onto the Drive and pull it up on the computer.

Hi, Because it only has a D at the end of the model number, it prints duplex (Prints on both sides of the paper) which is what I wanted. They have one with a DN which means it prints Duplex and can be hooked up to a network. In order to be wireless, I think it would have to have a W at the end of the model number.

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

I can print with a usb from my mac. Wireless still doesn't work after spending hours with customer care.

I looked at the specs... I didn't see any other port option for the USB print server. To tell you the truth... I believe you would be better off just buying a printer with bluetooth built in. Printers today are not that expensive.

There are usb ports. That's the most popular printer connection if your printer is not network (LAN or wireless) enabled.

I think the device makes wired and wireless computers available to print. I have a wired pc and wireless win8 tablet, my son has a wireless win8 laptop and my wife has a chromebook. All are able to print to my printer using this device

If you connect this printer to wired ethernet.Then you can print wirelessly from your laptop.But printer need to be hooked with physical canles.

I am trying to get connection for this printer. It did not come with a USB cord and I don't see how to connect to my computer "wirelessly". Any info on what the "little deal" is, would be much appreciated.....

this one was for my security system. I dont think this one will work on the printer because this one connects to USB for power and to the ethernet connector. I dont know if you can make your printer wireless but keep searching for answers, someone has done it and it should be posted. My Dongle came with a disk for setup.
