Will this printer work with a laptop via usb port?

Yes. There is a usb connection in the back. When looking at the printer from the back, the usb connection is in the upper right hand corner and you need to open a small door.

This printer does have a USB port on the lower left front of the printer. I assume it is there for a purpose. I have never used it as the printer works excellently with a wireless connection to my laptop. Hope this helps. You may want to contact HP directly or a local store that carries the printer.

I have printed from a thumb drive in the USB port just fine. I just turned off wireless connection on my laptop and connected laptop through USB cable. Got error message (insert USB thumb drive). So, No, I don't think it will work. put your file(s) on USB drive if you can't print wirelessly.

I doubt it, this one has a usb port to make a printer or drive a network device.

Yes. It either has to be connected through wireless or a standard usb printer cable.

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

Yes, you can connect with USB cable although I can't imagine why you would want to. You'll probably want to distance yourself from this printer as soon as possible. It is without doubt the worst piece of junk I've ever gotten from HP.

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.

No. This is a wired printer. You must have a USB printer cable in order to connect this machine to your computer.

Your printer compatibility is the major concern. Should you have the proper cable end, the USB is a given with any operating system when the computer has ... USB.

There should not be any printer this wont work with as long as there is a driver for the operating system you have. Following my steps creates a permanent port as if it were connected directly to the PC so as long as the PC has good drivers you should be ok.

Yes. I'm using it with an HP laptop. Sometimes, for scanning, I have to use a USB hookup, but the printer comes with a hookup cord.

No, you can use the printer either with the USB port or wireless. Which ever is easier for you. Jack F

It really depends on the the printer I would think a printer with a usb port would be able to read a parallel port computer. I have a HP Laser Jet 4+ which has a parallel port it could not convert the usb port on my computer.

As far as I can see (and it's not easy to access from where it sits!), it does have a USB port which has in it the connection to the computer.......assume that connection would have to be taken out to use the USB port for something else. Have no idea if this makes sense! Sorry, it's the best answer I can give you. The printer works well, however!! Only had trouble with it when I tried to hook it up to a Mac.

I have a network printer. The Chromebox prints to it perfectly. I haven't connected a USB printer to it. My network printer is an HP but I would think any network printer would work.

This is a stand alone printer. It prints from the device it is attached to. Are you attaching it to your computer? I would imagine via the usb connector it would print any picture format compatible with it.

Connect printer to computer via USB port. Match diagram to actual put cd in computer and press setup for the printer. Follow directions about ink loading and it should work. Make sure you study the directions. Good Luck

if it has a usb port, it works with MOST HP printers, my guess is all that have a USB port
