Will this also act as a print server?

It couldnt work as a print server if it is a native. But you can install linux instead of native. Then you can construct print server

The short answer is yes, but not without a lot of work. You need to install a USB stick and install a version of Linux on it. Be prepared to do a bit of hacking. This is not a route for the faint of heart.

I am using it on 2 Windows 8 notebooks. When I configured the actual print server I used a Windows 7 desktop, so I can't say the entire setup was done completely on Windows 8. However, the notebooks are printing to that server from Windows 8. I don't see any reason why I couldn't have originated the entire setup using Windows 8.

Yes. As far as the print tray, make sure your printer is capable of printing on printable discs.

Yes but it will only use one connection method at a time. As long as the printer is on the network it shouldn't matter.

I'm doing this exact same thing only with a printer. My only concern would be with lag over a wireless network for VoIP.

Not by itself. You would need a wireless print server, which can be found at Amazon.

You'd be best served by looking for a "client access point" rather than a "print server". "Print servers" were made to give networking capabilities to printers that didn't have them, usually back when USB and parallel ports were the only connectivity available. Units such as an EDIMAX EW-7416APn can act as a wifi client (like your laptop or tablet) and form a link between your wifi network and the wired network connection on the printer.

Like others point out, you need google cloud print. but unless your printer is cloud print compatible, you will need another PC on your network that serves as a print server via chrome browser.

No. I think you have the wrong product. This is for controlling RS-232 devices over IP. It's a serial connector. You are looking for a USB Print Server. Start you search with that term and it should lead you in the right direction. Good luck!

No, it won't. This adapter is only compatible with computers running on Windows XP (SP3 or greater), Windows Vista, or Windows 7. What you need is a printer server but Belkin doesn't have one.

This is why I bought it. I plugged the server into the Ethernet port of my wifi router, and then all computers on the network can access the printer over wifi.

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.

Yes it does. In the user manual it explains how to setup the "Print Server Settings".

It should I have a printer and computer connected as well as an access point.

I have not tried printing outside of my firewall. It would not be immediately available and I can't speak if it would be possible or not.

Not as far as I can tell. We have several of these printers for industrial and accounting use, some run on a parallel cable and port others use a serial connection and card (which is quite pricey) I see no other connections. These appear to be old "workhorse" type impact printers that print on multipart forms.

This device is designed for network print server applications If you can designate a IP address to the server it supports YES if not it will not work.
