Hi...I am wondering about using a printer with this computer. Is anyone using one. Does the printer need a special wireless card or will any work.

I use an HP Photosmart 7525 from Costco. It is a wireless all-in-one printer, fax, copier and scanner. It was very easy to install and is not wired to computer. I didn't need any special card.

I purchased a new wireless printer for the new computer, but had someone set it up for me.

I'm currently using a Cannon MX892 with my Gateway ZX6980. The only thing I had to do to make this work, was I had to go on line to Cannon.com and download the Printer driver.Now my printer works great with this computer.

Can I plug -in my Epson Workforce 315 all-in-one printer,fax, copier to this unit ?

You can use any printer with this one. The printer that I use is a print, scan and fax, if your going to use a printer you can use anyone that you want just make sure that it is a compatible with the system you are using.

Any printer with USB 2.0 or built-in Wireless G/N that's connected to your wireless router through USB, ethernet or Wi-Fi should work with the computer.

I have mine hooked up to a router so i dont use the wireless part. I am 99% sure you can use it as a stand alone wireless printer

Yes, it works great. We have it hard wired to our network, so I cannot vouch for its wireless functionality, but once it is wirelessly connected to your network any computer connected to the network can use it. Our computers that wirelessly connect to our network all can use the printer. Plus our ipad also uses this printer.

I can't even get this printer to print wireless from my computer 12 inches away and with an airport express sitting right on top of it.... Sorry I'm of no help to you, but if you learn anything about getting it to work wirelessly with Mac, please post and let me know.

Hi, Anybody have trouble with the software aspect? I am running into trouble with the driver intalls, in particular the DLLs, and the worst is driver CNMBR333, even with the updated drivers. I already email tech suppport and they responded quickly but their solution didnt work. I wont hear again till tommorow but since so many others here are enthused about what is definitley a quality printer that even make standard paper printouts seem like photo paper, I though maybe someone with a bit more experience with install issues might be able to help.Thank You Regardless

I too am waiting on this answer before I make a purchase. I was told that all wireless printers have the option to turn off the wireless but want to be certain of that. Can somebody please comment on this?

I'm sure you're not slow! I'm no expert either. So far I haven't tried to hook up to a printer, but I've seen ads for printers that they say can hook up wirelessly to pretty much anything--tablets, iPhones, whatever.

I have this printer connected to my wireless network. No card needed. We can print from our laptop wirelessly or from iPad using samsung app

Missy... I have this printer and it is a NIGHTMARE. Yes... you can ONLY print wirelessly... which the guy in the store didn't tell me. I wouldn't have bought it if I had known as I need a printer I can take with me to events and they are not always at places with a wireless signal.Also... even though I have wireless in my home... my printer will NOT print at all when I send the print job to it. The only way i can get it to work is to EMAIL the print job... so it requires extra steps.I've printed with it only about 5 times now... and each time took me more than 30 minutes to try and get it to work. The last time it had numerous paper jams.Other people seem to like theirs... maybe I got a lemon. Missy... I have this printer and it is a NIGHTMARE.

Give it up dude. I searched and searched for a printer that would work with ME and finally gave up and bought a new computer. I did find and purchase an older version HP printer that said it would work with ME on the box but HP had withdrawn the drivers from their website, so I took it back. Go buy a new computer. (ME never did anything but suck anyway.)

This printer requires optional External Wireless Adaptor. I bought it for $50. I just saw where it now costs $69. The adaptor is in addition to the printer. Great wireless printer if you buy the adaptor.

No, this printer will not work with tablet/ wireless. I spent many hours looking for a means to connect - but it only comes with a (very old-fashioned!) PC connection. It is very difficult also to find a driver for it.

No, the printer is not wireless. It comes with an Ethernet and a USB port. You can try to use an ETHERNET to WiFi adapter. You'll want to setup the printer wired to start, then add the adapter and make sure the adapter uses the same IP you set the wired up with. Hope that helps.

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.

Hi! I have no idea...but I do print from other lap and desktops wirelessly with no problem.

If you have a network set up, any computer hooked up to that can print to it w/out bring directly connected. It's been a while since I've used this printer, but I don't think it's truly wireless. (It is a great printer though, I bought several for work.)

You need to have an available wireless network. Sure. You use an item like this with machines that don't have wifi cards built in. But this particular item is junk and I suggest you buy one that has a better user rating.
