I need wireless connectivity to my usb printer. I don't need an internet connection. My laptop will do wireless. Will this device work for this appli

The only thing that the USB port is used for is power, all programming is done through the Enet port or wifi so I do not believe it will work for this application.

Probably not. If the printer does not support Bluetooth in it's software, this will not add that capability. Think of this as a bluetooth antenna, that gives things that have Bluetooth support a hardware device to use, but it will not emulate any other device, like a USB stick.

My guess is no as the printer is not wireless and uses a USB cable for connection to the computer.

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.

If you connect this printer to wired ethernet.Then you can print wirelessly from your laptop.But printer need to be hooked with physical canles.

I was told I could use anything a usb port would use. I have plugged in a usb mouse and it work right awayI use it at home with my wireless internet. It connect up with that no problem. I haven't tried elsewhere. I believe it will work.

If you lack a wireless router you can connect the printer to your computer with a USB cable, or to a wired network with an Ethernet cable. And, of course, it supports the earlier wireless "B" and "G" standards if you have an older wireless router which doesn't support "N".

I am trying to get connection for this printer. It did not come with a USB cord and I don't see how to connect to my computer "wirelessly". Any info on what the "little deal" is, would be much appreciated.....

I've installed it USB to USB. I don't believe it has wireless capability but will check. I don't know about a wired way. The printer doesn't have a port for a parallel or serial feed from a computer

If, indeed, your printer is Bluetooth 2.0 capable then this should work for you. I have two Bluetooth capable printers and this dongle works for both. However, if your printers are not already Bluetooth capable then this will not help you. This dongle makes your computer Bluetooth 2.0 capable. Hope this helps.

Yes. Mine is connected to my computer by way of a standard USB cable, which is provided when you order the printer. If it prints wirelessly, I don't use it that way. Good luck.

I don't know that you need a driver for the device. You need a printer driver for the printer and then you need to set up a generic TCP/IP port for it to print to. I followed the advice of the reviewer who talked about setting it up manually and it worked with XP and Win7 for me and I didn't need a driver for the device.

Printer can be setup "wired" - with USB or Ethernet. If "wireless" then you do need a WiFi modem/router.

Yes, this printer accepts wireless, ethernet and USB connections. Ethernet performs best. Note that no USB cable is provided.

Although I connect mine wirelessly, there is a port on back of the printer to hardwire connect via USB directly to your computer, otherwise you must have a wireless router.

It should work if the printer can connect to the hotspot. If you're printer is e-print capable your chances improve greatly.

As far as I am concerned the wireless on this printer is a very weak point. I'm sure it will work well if it connects. I have an HP tower computer that it will not connect to. HP techs took over control of my machine and in 2.5 hrs cound not make it work. Good news for you is I have an iPad and it does connect with it, go figure. So, it should work, but if you want 100% assurance I cannot give you that.
