I'm totally illiterate on this. Will it work with my AsusX55 laptop (no optical drive) and a printer...what do I need to do?

It will definitely work with your laptop. Regarding the printer it depends whether it has either wifi connection or Ethernet connection (network cable).

It will work with any computer that has a wireless interface. All laptops do. It should work with the printer also.

No, the printer will NOT. Your computer, assuming the printer is hooked up to one, will do the work.

I just got a new computer with windows 8 and the printer worked without installing any drivers. I only used the printing function so am not sure if everything else would work or not.

I've only used it with an HP & a Dell... I'd try contacting the seller for that info

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.

Hello, if you have a (usb port) on your laptop - it should. ??? All you need is that to make it work.

Any Optical drive will probably work (USB). I use a cheap $30 one.And Yes, The touchpad is so bad, it changes my rating of this laptop from A to D.

Hello Nyla,Alot of Printers require an USB 2.0 or 3.0 cable for a direct connection to a laptop to print. If your laptop and printer have an Ethernet port, you could use this cable to print. Thanks,Mediabridge Customer Support

Should be just plug and play. Just plug into usb port and I know it works with Windows 7.

I tried it on an Aspire laptop. It did not work, but crashed my computer. The tech support could not help me. so I sent it back. Get a 3.0 USB card for your computer if you can.

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..

I would assume it would work if you have MS OS 7. I am running 7 OS and this Printer was able to recognize my system. I suspect if you have an older OS you may have to install a driver which I believe is included on a CD with the printer. Good luck.

I didn't. I received no disks at all. In fact, I didn't think about it at the time, but I cannot find a printer driver to download so that my printer will work with Windows 8 so I'm printerless!

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.

Sorry! It's just a cheap awful printer. It will not work more than it will. Abandon it and chop it up as HP doesn't make good printers anymore.

They have a list of the computers it will work with, in the description. If it isn't listed then it won't work. Check the list to see.

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.
