Can you connect a desktop computer to this printer or only wireless laptops?

Hi BrendaYou can connect a Desktop (if it is wireless or has a wireless card) to this printer. I have three wireless laptops and one desktop connected to it. You can use a USB cable if your desktop does not have a wireless setup.

Yes, it can be used with desktop computer, it does come with usb cable if your computer is not wireless capable but if you want to use it wirelessly you can buy a wireless adapter for your desktop computer.

You can connect a desktop computer. But buy a different printer, this one sucks.

Yes, you can connect with USB cable although I can't imagine why you would want to. You'll probably want to distance yourself from this printer as soon as possible. It is without doubt the worst piece of junk I've ever gotten from HP.

Yes, I have two desktops that hook up via ethernet cable to the router and a laptop that is wireless. It was a very easy setup. Just hook up the printer to the router pop the disk in and install the drivers on each computer. Took 5 min. Been three months now and no issues.

no you can not because the printer needs to be connected to a conputadora by either usb or serial port ...

Yes, I have it connected to a desk top with USB and I have a lap top I use that I connected it through wifi. Oh, it also prints from my phone.

I am sure you can. Not all of our computers in our office is hooked up directly to this printer. It prints from 4 other computers from the wireless connection.

Yes, a wireless printer can be set up as part of the wireless network and it work fine.

Scott M. is correct. The printer does not have wireless capability. But if you have a router for a home network, connect the printer to a port on the router with an Ethernet cable. Then every device that can talk to the router can see and use the printer. In our house we have three laptops and an iPad all using the printer without difficulty.

The HP Officejet 4630 printer can be used with any wireless router. Once you have connected the printer to your wireless network, your laptop/desktop will be able to locate it. To connect, simply go to the menu on the printer and find "Network", Then "Wireless Setup Wizard" and follow the prompts. Viola' you're connected. Good Luck!

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 D. Ambrose, If you have a wireless printer, you can connect it to it as you would any other wireless device and print. If it's not a wireless printer, then no. We hope this helps!

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.

You can connect it via usb to your PC or you can print with most devices connected to your wireless network. I have this printer and can print from my laptop over my wifi connection.

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 can. You will have to set up your printer on your wireless network first. The printer itself does not have wireless, but if you connect it to your wireless network (via ethernet cord), your laptop will be able to see it while on the network.

If you have a desktop with an attached printer you can use Google's cloud print app. This is the method I use and it works just fine. You may also be able to connect directly to a wireless printer such as the HP DJ 2540, 3520, Photosmart 6520 and many others. I have not tried this method but it should be possible. Another method would be to add a network printer to your router, this would make it available to all computers that are served by the router both wired and wireless. Hope this helps!

No, you can use the printer either with the USB port or wireless. Which ever is easier for you. Jack F
