will this adapter allow a USB printer to work wirelessly ? In other words, can I disconnect my USB cable and the printer will work via the wireless

No, it won't. This adapter is only compatible with computers running on Windows XP (SP3 or greater), Windows Vista, or Windows 7. What you need is a printer server but Belkin doesn't have one.

No reason it should not work. My printer is an older Lexmark and I have no problems printing "wirelessly" to it.

I have the printer wired (usb) to my wife's computer and i use the wireless feathure on both my laptop and my ipad through my wireless system. All computers talk to the printer with great results.

I am assuming you have a wireless device like a laptop. You will need to install the device driver included with the printer and choose network. It will detect the printer on your network. The printer should be connected to an network port on your wireless router in order for it work before you install the driver.

Hi Annie! This wireless USB adapter works only with computers running on Windows 98SE, 2000, Me, or XP Operating Systems.

This machine is meant for working with wireless network. Download the software or use the cd provided with the printer. Install the full driver without paperport. When asked if want to use the usb for setup, donot use the usb. Instead let the computer search for the printer and then install this printer on the computer you want to use for printing. Do this on every computer on the wireless netwrk of you want to use every computer for printing.

I agree with Cheryl. You will have to purchase a wireless printer because this adapter must have drivers installed.

I would say, yes it works with all other wireless functions why won't work with the adapter?

Yes a wired network printer can work wireless with this gadget. The manual is not good at all so you should have some basic knowledge of networks and IP configuration.

You can set up a wireless printer with this router, I have two set up wirless WIFI with this router. Your question on USB is confusing as that indicates a wire hookup to your computer or some such to the printer. That is not wireless. You can set up a wireless printer with this router provided the signal from the router is available at the location of the printer.

The wireless printer that I have, did not need anything cord connected to my computer. Sorrry do not know if that cord will work.

so it was not clear. Can you use the the USB port to connect a wireless adapter ?

It does not. It can work with your existing WiFi. If you don't have a WiFi then you can use a cable which is supplied with the printer to connect into any USB port.

It will work wirelessly. I have only the power cord plugged into mine. All printing I have done to this device has been over my wireless network, including from a PC, tablet, and iPhone.

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

I'm not sure what you mean by wireless adapter. However, I use mine with an AZIO brand Bluetooth dongle to communicate between my PC and photovoltaic inverter. It's basically a USB extension cord. So, if your wireless adapter plugs into your PC's USB port, it will plug into this guy and should work.

In general I think not. The socket on your printer probably does not match that of this adapter (printers are destinations, having micro usb, mini usb, or most likely the larger sort of square usb inputs) if your printer has the correct size shape port it is probably for external storage (i.e. thumb drive) again not a 'source' computer type usage.
