I bought this for my Grandson, so I am not able to try that function. I do not think he is using it for that purpose. I can txt him to see if he has done anything like that configuration.

I looked at the specs... I didn't see any other port option for the USB print server. To tell you the truth... I believe you would be better off just buying a printer with bluetooth built in. Printers today are not that expensive.

The software you use should not be an issue. As long as your computer has a USB port, the printer should work nicely.

just using the print function should work just fine' providing your printer is in the network sharing

Hi Margarita, I was really unhappy about this item. It did not work at all for me. If the printer is a USB printer, you may have more luck than I did, but older printers, using a parallel to USB converter do not work well. If I was you, I'd choose a better device, this one is not worth the money.

Yes, this device allows you to connect a printer to your network and print to it from any computer connected to the network, both wired and wireless.Thanks for your interest!

This printer features an ethernet connection, meaning it can be networked and used by multiple computers. If you are using the USB connection, you would need to connect it to a print server for sharing. I recommend the networked option. The guide should include a walkthrough for setting it up.

It is my thought that this printer will not copy on both sides at the same time. I do not require that application for my own use. Would be best to check more expensive printer for that option.

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 haven't had any experience with multifunction printers and this device. Based on the setup I have done in the past I believe it should work. My advice to you would be to look and see if your printer model also comes in a model with a network connection. If there is a model like yours but with a network connection then setup will be easy.

I plugged my printer into one of the wired jacks on my router using a network cable. It works perfectly as a shared printer on my wireless network.

I own 2 of these. I use a laptop for work that travels with me. I only installed the software once and both identical printers in 2 different locations work perfectly

Yes. If you setup the printer as a wireless printer you will be able to print to the printer just like it was plugged into the laptop. Of course you will need the printer and the laptop connected to the same wirless signal. You will also be able to print from other computers as well. Mac or pc. If you are running vista or older it will be VERY difficult to setup BUT if you have windows 7 or later it is a breeze to setup

it can if you connected the 7 port usb unit to the computer you want to use the printer for, if you plug your printer into the 7 port usb unit. this is not a router, it's a usb unit.

You need a printer switch.. and in that configuration you'll have 3 cables total... 1 from each PC to the switch and 1 from the switch to the printer.. but honestly, now a days, you're better off getting a wireless print server if it's compatible or set up file and printer sharing across the workgroup/network if this is being used in a small office or home environment.

Yes - it will wifi connect your computer to any other wifi device on your network - including printers.
