Frist you have a Plugable® 7-Port Aluminum USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Hub with 20W Power Adapter (VIA VL812 Rev B2 Chipset with v9081 Firmware for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux Support. A hub will not enable you to network three computers and a hub. You need a router which will enable you to create a network on which you may have three computers and a printer that may each communicate with each other. That is not only can you print from any one of your computers but also send files between two computers for instance. Hope this helps.

MANUFACTURER REPLY:Thank you for showing interest in our products. What you are looking for is a "A B C USB" switch. This USB hub enables you to connect many devices to one USB port on a computer and not one device to many computers. Kind regards,PatricPlugable Technologies

it can if you connected the 7 port usb unit to the computer you want to use the printer for, if you plug your printer into the 7 port usb unit. this is not a router, it's a usb unit.

No. Only one computer can connect to a USB hub at a time. This is not a network hub or network router.

If you don't have a network printer installed (this requires a printer with a network card), you can have the printer on one computer and share it with the network. This printer will be seen on the network as long as the person with the printer attached has their machine on.

Yes. I use a PC and my wife uses a Mac. This router works fine. It also works with my print server, network attached storage, network media player, Wii, Nintendo DS, and Nokia Internet tablet.

You need a printer switch.. and in that configuration you'll have 3 cables total... 1 from each PC to the switch and 1 from the switch to the printer.. but honestly, now a days, you're better off getting a wireless print server if it's compatible or set up file and printer sharing across the workgroup/network if this is being used in a small office or home environment.

Absolutely. Depending on your router's features, you should have two options available. 1) Connect it to the router via Ethernet cable, then connect to it through your network. Exactly how you do this depends on your OS. Note that in this case the PC you use to se it up will basically become the "print server" and will need to be turned on if you wish to print from a different PC. 2) Some routers will let you hook up the printer via a USB cable, in which case you will configure the printer via the router's GUI, and the router will be the print server.

This is a network printer, so with it connected to your router on your network, it can most definately be hooked up to two computers

Marci, the printer would have to be connected direct to a computer in order to work with no internet service. It would only work from the computer to which it is connected.

This printer has wifi to connect via a router but I use it with a cable directly from the printer to the PC. No router needed for this. The wifi did not work.

Yes , it is all down to the printer but I use it with two and they both work instantly. Most delays seem to come from using I Pads to print but thats not the fault of the router.

Yes. Using it with two iMacs wirelessly via a router. This printer is extremely Mac friendly...plugged into the router, and both iMacs found it immediately.

No - not at all. This is a USB + additional power adapter. Do not attempt to use this to connect 2 computers to one printer.

I am using the Link with Windows 8 without any problems, so I'd expect the same with Windows 8.1. First have a look if your router doesn't have a USB port for connecting a printer to it.

Yes. Our printer has LAN connection to router on my wife's desk, but I print wirelessly off my MacBook in same home office.

I think you can only connect one computer directly. But if you connect it to USB of a router you can share it across a network.

It should be. I don;t thinkthe unit cares what kind of printer it is. If's its a WIFI router it should work

You can connect four computers to the router. I bought mine used, and no complaints so far. Well worth what I paid for it.
