I'm trying to make my printer wireless for my mobile device. Will this adapter have a IP address so I can print documents at home and abroad?

I print thru the wireless printer using the router. I do not know if it will work abroad, but it does work here. You have to find the router address and have the printer use this address to work.

I haven't use it for such connection but in specifications the device purpose is to connect desktops or laptops to a network.

Yes. Wifi is just the "middle-man" from the device your printing from and your printer. Your wifi router (this TP-LINK wireless router) doesn't have specific drivers, etc for each thing that can connect to it, it just works. What you need to make sure of is if the computer, tablet, or whatever you're printing from is compatible with your printer (and since it's Epson I'm sure it does).

I use the wireless connection to the printer all the time. However this Is from my computer not an iPad.

It should. I am using a wireless network for my printer, t.v., laptop, and iPad.

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.

Probably, but it sure would be easier to use whatever network adapter is in the other devices to hook up to the wireless printer. Those wireless printers can be a PIA sometimes.

Hello. The only thing to do is buy the right one. You have to look closely to the port side of the adapter and the printer. I'm sure you probably noticed the port pins don't match up with the adapter's. It's tricky. Look for a seller with a big enough picture to make sure the slotted side on the adapter matches your printers port.

What you need to do is buy a wireless router that supports dd-wrt firmware then you can properly reserve an IP for the printer so it never gets lost on the network. It is better this way than assigning a static IP to the printer itself because it could still try to connect to other detected networks and lots of crap happens. Don't forget to assign a password to the printer web interface else your neighbours could easily connect to it and mess with it if they want.

Yes - it will wifi connect your computer to any other wifi device on your network - including printers.

Yes it does. No problem with home wireless network, including the printer. Works fine.�

Short answer: NO, they won't. This adaptor is made strictly for use with printers and does not support bidirectional data transfer. I actually dug up the data sheet for the interface IC that this device uses (which is made by Prolific) and confirmed this.

No. The wireless printer is not a hotspot or access point that will broadcast a wireless signal that will allow your computer that has the Belkin adapter to connect wirelessly.

I use mine wireless from my laptop, but I access it through my home network, as the printer is connected to my desktop computer. It isn't set up to go wireless in the modern sense. Also, I have experienced issues when not all the computers in the network are on the same version of windows. If it were a modern wireless printer you wouldn't have these types of issues. It's an older model, but it is a WORKHORSE of a printer, it's duty cycle rating is FIFTY THOUSAND pages per month!I don't believe I will ever wear this printer out, which is OK because I love it!

No, this is not a wireless printer. You can purchase 3rd party wireless adapter and make it so, but by default it must be physically connected to a computer or router.

Yes it does. The print server has nothing to do with the OS you use. It is a standalone device on your network with an IP address and port. You then add a printer on your network using internet as the option and specify the IP address and then choose the correct printer drivers from your os. Remember, to configure the device you will need to make sure it has a default local IP address that is on your network. See my previous comments on how to do this.

You rock man for posting this! what happen with me is that I attached a Wii to the network and it took the printer's IP address! Making the Ip address of the printer static is the key. This way, my computers aren't knocking on the addresses of other devices looking for the printer! :)Thanks again!
