Yes if you do it at proper time only otherwise it will lock up, also it eats 25% of your color ink everymonth even if you keep it shut off all the time. I only cut mine on if I have to fax a message and sometimes it will not do that till I change all my full ink cartarges for new ones.

Yes, but you may lose some features. Read the manual (can be downloaded from the HP website and makes most things clear).

Dear Ed, The 8600 Officejet Pro does connect using a USB cable if you wish. Wireless is an option only if you wish. A question I have (which you DIDN'T ask): Can you connect the Officejet Pro both using a USB cable and wirelessly, and if so is there any advantage? I have installed two of them in two locations using wireless so the printer can be placed anywhere it has power, but I have wondered if I had it near a computer and connected it with a USB cable could I as well use wireless (e.g., if I wanted to carry the printer to a work area where the cable would not reach). Wireless performance is flawless, and I have printed large PDF documents in duplex with no problem. Dear Ed, The 8600 Officejet Pro does connect using a USB cable if you wish.

Use a USB cable that is rated for your phone or device. Not all cables are created equal.

If your computer has Bluetooth, you can. I don't know if you can connect them through a USB cable or not; I've never tried.

I'm sure it will connect, but, as indicated in a previous answer, your device has to have the On The Go (OTG) software to access. You can get free apps, but still. Need the software to access the jump drive (thumb drive) connected via this cable.

In addition to my earlier answer: You have to use a USB 2.0 port, cause you are right under powered 3.0

I don't think so. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_cable_connection#DCC_with_USB

I've not tried to, but I can't see why not. RThere is the usb port, do you should be able to. Try it and see

It acts as a flash drive when connected via a USB cable; so as long as you can connect via USB your will be OK.

Yes, you just use your own USB-Lightening cord to connect (it's compatible with any device that connects via USB).

I have not tried that. But I would guess you could through the usb. CLEMENT.

No, this will not allow you to do that. The secondary USB connection is wired for power only, and in any case what you are describing is not possible with any cable, because USB communication is bidirectional.

Yes you can, mine worked best with the USB cable. I got rid of the printer completely because the internal wi-fi card went bad.

The connection is a micro USB so I see no reason why not. I can't say how well it will work, but connection wise there is no reason why it shouldnt.

In order to use the USB connector , I have had to purchase a usb to mini usb cable. It hasn't arrived yet, so right now, that is the plan. Assuming I have the sex of the connectors correct I should be OK

It connects with a USB cable. You may have to install an app to make it work.

I balieve you can do so by simply conecting to an USB port. May take a bit longer but plug it to your computer and you should be good to go.

Yes you can. the USB charger also acts as a connection for the device. You could also look into a USB Blootooth Adapter. Hope this answers your question.
