I would like to use this printer on my office wired network not wireless. It says it's network ready so I assume I can do this. Has anyone tried?

My wife and I both use the printer and it works well between the two of us. How it would work with several people I cannot say.

Connect it directly to your router and assign it a static I.P. address then all your devices regardless of how they are connected, wired, wireless will be able to print to this printer. There's really no need to have a wireless printer ever.

You can still use this printer with USB, wireless is a new feature that is sometimes more convenient for network use. As to price, it is a very good value.

Sorry I have not unboxed the printer yet. Its a back up for me. However I do believe it is network capable by ethernet but not wifi.

No you can't. But if you connect it with a wirless router (which should be connected to internet source) with ethernet cable, then you can print wireless. It is a typical way to print wirlessly using wire printer.

I have a wireless router on my network and I can print over wi-fi from my Apple devices. I think that's only because the printer is connected by Ethernet to the router. The printer itself doesn't have a wi-fi receiver.

Joyce, The printer is truly wireless IF your computers are part of a LAN (local area network). It is across this network that the computers and the "wireless" printer communicate with each other. We have two computers and various other assundry wireless devices all of which have wirless access to the same printer. It is also easy to setup. I hope this helps. Bill

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sorry should have clarified - I'm just trying to use a direct, simple wired connection using a USB interface cable directly from my laptop to the printer. It doesn't seem to come online. Have you tried just doing a wired print on a cable that is greater than 6 feet?

Yes you can use both wired and wireless at the same time with this printer.I initially set it up via USB to a win7 machine and subsequently to 2 wireless win 7's and an XP machine using a wireless adapter.It works flawlessly, but won't wake on LAN, so you have to make sure it is on. Extend the time before "auto off" for best results.

I have only used it with a switch between two computers. It doesn't have wireless capabilities; but I believe it would work as a network printer, when a computer is configured to allow it.

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

Although this printer can be used for a wireless connection, I have the printer set up directly to my PC. So it can be used either way. I hope this helps.

Yes! You could add it to a network, with the addition of a $25 J4102B HP Jetdirect 170x Print Server (here on amazon).. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00012HV9U/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition;=used Hope this helps!
