Can it print documents in MSword format from a USB device connected directly to it (without using a computer)?

I have not tried it, however it supposed to be able to print from a USB device per the manufacturers info.

Unfortunately it only does PDF and JPG... as per manual. To confirm I tried PDF, JPG, DOCX, and DOC... only pdf and jpg worked.

Not directly as far as I can tell but I use it with a PC that's set up as a Cloud Print server so that I can print from my Chromebook while at work.

Sorry should have clarified - I'm just trying to use a direct, simple wired connection using a USB interface cable directly from my laptop to the printer. It doesn't seem to come online. Have you tried just doing a wired print on a cable that is greater than 6 feet?

I don't remember seeing a USB port on the printer itself but you since you can control the scanner through your laptop or desktop, you can select select your USB drive to store your scanned image.

Yes. It is a plug-n-play device, so it only works with a computer. The software has to be running to print.

I am sorry, but I do not know, I never connected to my laptop, it has card reader, Bluetooth and usb connection, so it is enough for me to print.

I print from via usb connection all the time with my laptop, no problem. Obviously, you have to install the driver like any printer or usb device.

I have used this device, externally powered with portable hard disk drives formatted for FAT32 and had no problems but have not used with a USB printer. I suspect there would be printer driver issues.

Not certain, but I think you can print directly from a flash drive. I imagine that is why the printer includes a display. I use mine through its wireless connection to my laptop. As far as paper size, it uses 4X6 in. paper, and will print a single 4X6 photo, or multiple smaller photos, like wallets or passport size. You can print these multiple photos on a single 4X6 paper. The paper it uses is good heavy stock and is coated to give a semi-glossy image.

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 don't believe you can do this. The USB port is for USB hard drives like this: http://www.amazon.com/External-Hard-Drives-Storage-Add-Ons/b?ie=UTF8&node;=595048 The Cloud router has a small operating system in it that does not have the ability to support a printer. Hope this helps.

If you have WiFi, you won't need the USB cable. If you do not have WiFi, you can use an Ethernet cable to print, but you would need the USB cable in order to scan documents to your computer. It's always good to have as a backup in case your WiFi is down.

Sue,You are incorrect. The printer can print USB, but like most printers for the last decade it does not include a USB cable (about $3 on Amazon if you can't find one at your house).Printing by USB is identical to printing wireless and you are not required to email the documents. It is just a different way of connecting the printer. Of course, a wireless connection also allows multiple computers to send print jobs at once. If you are printing strictly by email you are completely lost and confused. I would suggest you ask a more tech sauvy friend of yours to help out. The email "feature" you are referring to is for when you are away from your computer at home and want to email a document to be printed over the internet. Sue,You are incorrect.

Yes, if you connect a printer via wifi, usb or bluetooth, you should have no problem printing from it.

You can print from both options WiFi or USB cable.... but I do believe on setup it does ask you to use USB cable...

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.

Yes. Even though this printer is supposed to be WIFI (wireless) it still requires a USB cable for initial install. Plus, if you have issues setting up the WIFI like many others do, then you will need this cable to print your document(s).
