Can I set this printer to scan directly to a network share as opposed to targeting a PC that may or may not be available..

There is a complex "Adminstrators" menu, the settings which you can read about here: https://files.support.epson.com/docid/cpd4/cpd41038.pdf . Page 21 talks about "Acquiring job information on push scanning from Document Capture Pro".

I use this printer from my wireless laptop through a TrendNet router and a keyspan usb server (lets me use a printer, scanner and any other usb device wirelessly through my router). If you only have the printer you could plug in a plain usb print server to use with any router. It does not come with wireless capability built in. Print servers are under $20.

Hi! I have no idea...but I do print from other lap and desktops wirelessly with no problem.

I have mine connected to our network and print to it from everywhere. I think it just depends on your 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!

I was able to get it to work through the "Windows Fax and Scan Program"I simply used the network install for the printer and once the device was installed, I could control it from the program listed above.

yes, you can. HP make it very easy to scan wirelessly. However, after a week, mine had an issue with a multi-page scanning.

Not directly. You can use the wireless through a network that is hooked up to it. You would need the x451dw which is wireless directly to/from the printer.

No, only the printer drivers are needed. Your router will assign a local IP address to the device, and the printer will be seen just like any other networked device.

This printer features an ethernet connection, meaning it can be networked and used by multiple computers. If you are using the USB connection, you would need to connect it to a print server for sharing. I recommend the networked option. The guide should include a walkthrough for setting it up.

Yes. It can be set up to do double-sided scanning and copying automatically. You need to set it up to do it double-sided, and then select "Set as new defaults" through the control panel on the printer to save the settings.

Connect it directly to your router and assign it a static I.P. address then all your devices regardless of how they are connected, wired, wireless will be able to print to this printer. There's really no need to have a wireless printer ever.

I could scan hardwired to printer - using the printer's control panel (straight out of the box.) Suppose to be able to configure the printer to recognize the computer - but have not figured that one out yet. My OS X is 10.6.8.

Yes, setup is straightforward if you already have a WiFi network. Initially, you have to connect the printer to one of the networked computers via USB cable (included) and run the CD. This allows you to program the printer with the WiFi network name and encryption key. Once that is complete, you remove the USB cable and are good to go.

I believe you can set it up to scan to the PC over the network. I haven't gotten that working though. What I do is to just scan to a thumb drive and then pull the image from the thumb drive onto whatever PC I need the scan on.

Yes, i have it set on my network via standard hard wire (RJ 45) and scan to the network drives regularly

You rock man for posting this! what happen with me is that I attached a Wii to the network and it took the printer's IP address! Making the Ip address of the printer static is the key. This way, my computers aren't knocking on the addresses of other devices looking for the printer! :)Thanks again!
