Will this device work with a 3D printer? Many are still either USB or sdcard based. In other words, does it support CDC wirelessly?

Hi! Not 100% sure about a 3D printer. I use mine with an external Blu-Ray writer. It comes with software that tricks your computer into thinking its a USB hub. I would give it a shot.

On mine, I've been able to hook up my label printer, flash drive, and external hard drive all without problems; but it doesn't see my phone (to access the SD card in it, etc). It's really random with what devices it can and can't see. So I'm going to have to agree with the other responses and say that you really won't know until you've tried. Sorry.

I am going to say yes a centronics cable right? this will connect the usb port to the cable you may need the printer driver but windows should handle that

I am sorry, I don't know. I just use to hook my mouse and a small USB thumb drive. It doesn't work when I hook the printer to it.

Hi, Anybody have trouble with the software aspect? I am running into trouble with the driver intalls, in particular the DLLs, and the worst is driver CNMBR333, even with the updated drivers. I already email tech suppport and they responded quickly but their solution didnt work. I wont hear again till tommorow but since so many others here are enthused about what is definitley a quality printer that even make standard paper printouts seem like photo paper, I though maybe someone with a bit more experience with install issues might be able to help.Thank You Regardless

Yes, best to check with your salesman, but I think any with a USB connection can work.I have mine set up to a wireless printer.

If the printer needs drivers to work under an OS it may not work. I have only used it under an android OS, of which it works fine.

It works for me. The printer was giving me problems before I upgraded my PC. I also have extensions attached to this parallel port. So I dont know if this makes a difference. I finally got tired of dealing with the old printer and got a laser printer for under 100. So I have both connected to the new computer.

The dongle has universal support for all Bluetooth devices. The printer should be compatible with little to no issues.

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.

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

When mine used to work correctly it used a sd card. It's about three years old and must have had the equivalent of a stroke. Soon it will be disposed of. Now, its down to printing, and copying only. I do not recommend this printer.

Yes. at least I connect to my Canon MG5400 wireless printer. I honestly dont know about other printers but commonly every laptop or tablet with wireless function will connect to wireless printers. Since the system is Win 8, you can install corresponding drive software with the printer, I dont think this is a problem. However I will try to connect to another printer. If it cannot connect, I will let you know shortly. Thanks for asking.

I am using it over a wireless network with my Windows 7 32-bit machine. Don't have any problems with scanning or printing and didn't have to download any drivers from the site to get it to work.

NO Problem, I own one of these use this one with a laser printer connected to the router's USB Interface, I have a Media Server and Magic Jack Plugged into the Router. I Have several Android Tablets iPods and a Roku...they work on wireless or plugged in!

Rocky A. I suspect it will work with an Android device if that is your question. If it does not work directly, go to Printer Share and they will give you a free trial to see if it will make the connection between your device and the printer. It worked with my Pixma IP 100 which surprised me. If it does not work I guess you can probably return the BU-30.

I am not 100 percent sure. I would give it a try. I have for example used a usb 7 port hub with a keboard and mouse a 250gig hard drive formated to exfat and all worked great no issues. also using an app called printer share a paid version I am able to connect my printer for pictures and emails and so on to print
