This is just a Keyboard, Video and Mouse(KVM) with Audio. It will NOT help with printers or scanners. For that, you'll probably need a network.

My experience in this regard has not been positive. Initially, it seem to work, but later proved problematic with other functions so after disconnecting my printer/scanner from one of KVM usb ports I had been using, everything went back to functioning normal. I guess that's why they call it a "KVM" switch. **Note I was able to use one of the usb ports because I only needed one of the ports for my wireless Microsoft Keyboard/Mouse connection.

you have to press the appropriate toggle switch to the corresponding computer you want to print from. It does not seem to detect it automatically.

Not unless both the printer and the computer are devices in a local network.

Scanning should be independent from printing so it shouldn't be a problem as long as you are running on Windows 7 or earlier. Window's 8 might be a problem. Hope this helps

Yes you can. At my office we are all networked together, so we can all use each others printers.

I would expect you can if each computer has been linked with the printer via the router through wireless mode. If trying to hard-wire connect three different computers you need some type "splitter" box with connections to each computer and then to the computer.Me, I have two different printers (Epson wireless connected, and second older Epson haywire

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

To scan to different computers, the printer and the computers have to be on the same subnet. This did not work for us because we use multiple subnet since our network is large. The computers will be displayed by the computer name. So you could make a chart listing each user with the computer name and tape it to the printer. FYI - You can scan to Network Folders if you have a file server or you share a folder out. MAX is 10 Network Folders. If you enter the email addresses in there the MAX is 15. You can manually type in a email address once the MAX is reached but it will not save. So it is best to use but Network Folders and email address together.

Open System Preferences-Internet& Network-Sharing-Firewall. Allow printer sharing on both computers.

You have to connect the printer to the router or wirelessly and then you can scan if it's on the same network.

If you are wireless, you can have multiple computers,tablets printing from the same computer as long as you have made the wireless connection

I don't see why not. When you connect them to the PC, the computer should automatically search for drivers and software for this printer/fax/copy machine. This is a Windows 7 machine, remember. That's the main reason I bought it, since Windows 8 had been out about a year, and I was unable to find a Win 7 machine in any of the stores (I did not want Windows 8). I believe you will be very happy with this computer! I know I am.

You can operate one printer using two computers. However, you will need to use the provided manual switch to change the printing source computer.

The switch box has NOT always worked for with two computers attached to 1 printer... You can try it , but there may be signal loss if the USB cables are long.

yes. You can set up multiple emails in the printer as destinations, and select them from the menu as you scan. You can also setup multiple network folders, and select from those as you scan. The network folders could be tied to different people, projects, or in our case different clients. All of this can be done through the touchscreen on the printer itself, but is much easier through the printers browser-based management utility. That's a powerful tool that is our primary way to control/manage the printer. Good luck!

Yes.You can scan an image on the printer and any PC on your network can access that image.

Presumably your printer/scanner has a USB portal.In which case I'm quite sure it's doable but I wouldn't know exactly how. But many folks could know.
