I am using a desktop, but my Canon is connected via USB port, so I see noreason why you cannot do that with a laptop. Contact Canon support to be sure.I am very happy with this printer, the ink is inexpensive and it has performedextremely well.

I use only this printer with food coloring cartridges to print edible images for cakes. I keep it stored away for weeks and then just bring it out and plug it in with a USB to my Dell laptop. Works great!

I have only desktop pcs here, but I believe it will function where a USB exists on a computer. This Canon product is an excellent product.

Yes you can. In fact, that's the same setup I have. Just activate the wireless on the printer and connect the desktop via an USB. Your laptop will seek out the wireless connection. Good luck.

Yes you can. Just plug the included cable to the machine and the other end to the computer's USB slot, click "Print" and voilá!

I am sorry, I don't know. I just use to hook my mouse and a small USB thumb drive. It doesn't work when I hook the printer to it.

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

I'd assume any printer that has a USB port to connect to the computer, as most new printers have this. I don't use it to print things personally.

I ordered my wife a laptop for Christmas and I bought her the exact printer that you are referring to. It did not come with a USB cable. It has a connection but you have to buy a separate cable to connect to your computer or laptop.

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.

The USB port acts as a print server for any usb printer. You can't add an external hard disk to this unit

No. The printer works just fine with USB cord that is included, and it works well in the wireless mode, too.

Yes. The computer has plenty of USB ports, which is how I connect my printer.

I actually never tried to connect a printer. I was try to use it as a wireless hard drive sharing port.... It didn't work so I sent it back. Good Luck! It may work for printers..

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

i don't know because the printer is attached to a Windows laptop, but the person who uses the printer says it works perfectly well except that he needed to purchase a USB that didn't come with printer

I can't imagine why you couldn't, as long as you have the right cable or wireless connection. You might also need to load the driver software, if your printer's an older one.

There is a usb connection at the back of the printer, you just have to install the software before connecting it.

As far as I can see (and it's not easy to access from where it sits!), it does have a USB port which has in it the connection to the computer.......assume that connection would have to be taken out to use the USB port for something else. Have no idea if this makes sense! Sorry, it's the best answer I can give you. The printer works well, however!! Only had trouble with it when I tried to hook it up to a Mac.
