Will this unit support more than one printer? We have several USB printers we want to convert to wireless.

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..

Yes but it will only use one connection method at a time. As long as the printer is on the network it shouldn't matter.

I have no idea. Most printers have Bluetooth built in now days. That would be cool if it works. The real question is if the dongle can find the second dongle on the printer. This might not be a transmitter only a receiver. I don't think it will work but that would be cool. if printer blutooth, then this in computer would work. but I don't think the printer's computer would be able to install it and use it that way.

No - not at all. This is a USB + additional power adapter. Do not attempt to use this to connect 2 computers to one printer.

yes it worked as described. I was hoping it could be used to convert a USB printer to a Network printerDo you know of a device that will do that?Sam

As it turns out, I own a small external USB DVD drive. I have 3 different printers, 2 HP and 1 Canon, all of which are WIFI connected with my wireless router. By using my USB attached external DVD drive I was able to install each of my printers from the CD that came with each printer and they are working perfectly. If you don't have an external DVD drive, then most printer websites contain install packages for downloading and install. Hope this helps. Byron

I am sure you can. Not all of our computers in our office is hooked up directly to this printer. It prints from 4 other computers from the wireless connection.

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

Yes it works in order to do that., is very easy because it does not need configuration, only needs to select what PC is going to use the printer at this time.

I found this unit very difficult to install and you can only use one computer at a time. You need to run software on each computer, if someone forgets to close out your printers will not be available to others. If you have a router with a USB your better off to just run your printer(s) into this, it also eliminates another piece of hardware you need to maintain.

Not sure... I bought it to install one printer by two PCs and seems as it would work as you first turn on your PCs, but once you press one of the switches, it will completely disconnect the device from the other PC, and it would need to be rebooted to make it work. As for me, it was a waste of my money

I do not know. I had problems using this device and eventually bought a wireless printer.

If you get a router that has a USB port, then you can use that. It will become a network printer then.

That would require a print server instead of a hub. Puts the printer on a network. Easy to do.

Sorry but this will not connect two computers to one printer. It is used to connect a hard drive etc that needs extra power provided by a second USB port. Connects one device to your computer, and pulls power from two USB ports on that computer..

I can't say for sure. I guess you could try making sure that the printer is set up for 2 sided printing. I once owned one of these printers. It was the worst printer I ever owned. I wish you luck, and I sincerely hope I was of some assistance to you.
