Do you have to use it wireless? Can you use a printer cable with it?

There is a USB port in the rear that can be used to connect the printer directly instead of using wireless

I used a cable from the computer to the printer and have had zero problems.

I use this product only wireless but it does say that you can connect via cable.

Yes. Even though this printer is supposed to be WIFI (wireless) it still requires a USB cable for initial install. Plus, if you have issues setting up the WIFI like many others do, then you will need this cable to print your document(s).

I gave it to my mom as a present and they don't have a wireless printer so I can't say for sure. Sorry.

Mary, Sorry for the late response. I looked at the other responses and there may be some confusion here. You asked about internet connections and the answers were mostly related to the actual printer connection. What follows are answers to both questions: 1) To use the printer, you do not need to be connected to the internet. The printer includes a CD with all of the software needed to operate the printer. Software updates would have to be accomplished via an internet connection however. 2) Connecting the printer to your computer can be accomplished via either a) USB (direct connection between computer and printer), b) wired network (through your network router or switch) or c) WiFi (through your wireless access point or wireless router.) One feature I liked on this printer is that is does have a wired network connection. Many printers have wireless built-in but no wired connection and I am not a fan of wireless. Hope this helps. Thanks, David

Yes you need a USB cord pluged in to your computor or lap top if you want to print from there you don't need to be hooked up to anything if you want to make copies only hope this helps it is not a wireless printer'

This printer is not a wireless printer. You have to connect it directly to a router (with Ethernet cable) and the router can send out the wireless signal.

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

We use Windows 7, so I don't know about Windows 8, but...ours is NOT wireless. However, we access it wirelessly through our home network. We simply access the computer it is connected to and do it that way. It could also be set up through a Bluetooth access to the computer that the printer is attached to.

i'm in a different location than the kodak, and i use the wireless connection. i think you can use a usb cable or purchase a wireless adapter with a usb connector to connect to the printer wirelessly.

Yes, but not wirelessly. I spent a lot of time looking up what I was doing wrong that it wouldn't connect. It seems that Apple doesn't use the WPS(?) protocol for wireless printing, and this printer does not use generic WiFi. (If I'm wrong, please, someone let me know because I would like to have this not be connected via USB cable!) For the price, and the print quality, using a cable was not a deal breaker, though.

NO. But there's an easy way to make it wireless.Just use a wirelless access point. connect the printer to it with a cat5 cable.Configure the wireless access point to act as a wireless client bridge to connect to your main WIFI network.I suggest you purchase a WIFI AP on which you can change the firmware to DDWRT. so you can make it a wireless client.The cost of an AP is about $50 and if a wifi card would exist it would probably cost more than that.

I believe you can...would need to connect to the printer with usb cable...I connected the printer to a laptop to down load up dates when setting things up, but we use it wi-fi since more than one person uses it...

Being that I've only use the printer wirelessly I can't really answer your question correctly. However I do know, there is a printer cable input on the back of this printer so you should be able to do all printing, copying, & scanning without wireless capabilities.

I have never seen a wireless printer that didn't have a USB port to allow it to be plugged into a computer. In addition, this is not a wireless printer. Therefore, it can be plugged in as can any printer.

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.

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.)

No you do not need the ethernet cable, everything is wireless with the exception of faxing in which you will need a phone line going the back of this printer. Hope this help
