No i'm using it for a webcam. I don't see why it wouldn't work for a printer.

No, but if the computer it is plugged into is on and running a network, then you can send use the network to print files from any computers/laptops on the home network.

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.

Yes, I have a printer hooked up to mine -- works great. I'm very pleased with this laptop!

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.

Yes. Mine is connected to my computer by way of a standard USB cable, which is provided when you order the printer. If it prints wirelessly, I don't use it that way. Good luck.

Yes. The computer has plenty of USB ports, which is how I connect my printer.

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.

I dont think that will work. It will serve you better to just connect the printer to one computer and setup a network for printer so that multiple computers on your network can print from it.

It should. Basically it is a switch followed by a hub. Whatever connected to the hub is switched between 2 computers. However, sharing the printer through a network would be my personal choice.

Yes, because your laptop comes with a 2.0 USB port which is where you would plug the cord in order for this printer to work (printer does not come with the cord, you would have to buy it separately). BTW, this particular printer is not wireless. Hope this helps you.

Pretty much any printer you can connect through a standard USB cable - you may need to find printer software online because the laptop does not have a CD-ROM drive.

Yes, but extremely easy to do. Your computer or mobile device will "look" for the printer if you are in its range or you can e-mail your printer if you are out of range. Of course, you can connect the printer via wires to your computer if you wish. Works great!

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

USB cable will not work for printers. You need to get a USB Printer cable the cable ends are made different.

I do not think so. Found the following info online,"You can get adaptors to give you wireless for a USB or parallel printer. About 25 usually. They are a different thing from the USB dongle you plug into your laptop. Jim - See more at: http://www.4networking.biz/forum/ViewTopic/56937?page=1#p463702" Sorry I can't be of more help.
