This printer states that it is a wireless printer. Is it truly wireless, or does it have to be hooked up to a router?

As long as it is hooked up to your wifi it can be used in wireless mode. You can also hook it up to your router or through a USB connection.

It depends on which model you purchase. The DN model supports Ethernet but not wireless. To get built in wireless support you will need to buy the DW version.

I have mine hooked up to a router so i dont use the wireless part. I am 99% sure you can use it as a stand alone wireless printer

Can't tell you for sure. But I do have it set up to print wireless from my computer.

The printer itself needs to be plugged into a network via ethernet. You can print wirelessly from a computer to the printer as long as the printer itself is connected via ethernet. You do not need to connect a cable from your printer to your computer in order to print using this printer.

You can connect it via usb to your PC or you can print with most devices connected to your wireless network. I have this printer and can print from my laptop over my wifi connection.

It utilizes a wireless interface to the network. Great printer by the way. Love mine!

Printer can be setup "wired" - with USB or Ethernet. If "wireless" then you do need a WiFi modem/router.

It's wireless but can be hooked up via USB cable. Not included. My first Brother copier wouldn't do the advertised wireless connect so I slapped a USB wire in it. This one did wireless flawlessly. Either way... your choice.

I am assuming you have a wireless device like a laptop. You will need to install the device driver included with the printer and choose network. It will detect the printer on your network. The printer should be connected to an network port on your wireless router in order for it work before you install the driver.

Not sure if the printer has the straight wireless printing from a device. I set up the ones I bought with a static IP address and any computer prints to it going through the wireless router. Hope this helps. James

Usually hooking up a printer to a computer requires a printer cable (and they are usually some sort of USB). If your printer has an ethernet port you might be able to connect it to the router so that all devices can connect. If it is a wireless printer you can connect to it wirelessly. Probably just need to install the software on each device.

This is not a wireless printer. It is HP ePrint capable which means you can print from wireless devices through a network but not directly to the printer.

No, not a true wireless printer, but can be connected to a network and accessed via cloud printing to be considered a "wireless" printer.

Yes it is still wireless and I print from my iPad & iPhone both.Has an annoying glitch that causes it to tell me it is currently offline and I have to re boot it .Otherwise it's ok.

Connect it directly to your router and assign it a static I.P. address then all your devices regardless of how they are connected, wired, wireless will be able to print to this printer. There's really no need to have a wireless printer ever.

Technically you should be able to set this up as a wireless printer.... But it will be a hassle and probably stop working after a few hours. Check the negative reviews on this printer, they all revolve around software issues and failure to print wirelessly. I would suggest looking at a wireless Epson or Brother printer. They are easy to set up and very reliable.

Although this printer can be used for a wireless connection, I have the printer set up directly to my PC. So it can be used either way. I hope this helps.

No you can't. But if you connect it with a wirless router (which should be connected to internet source) with ethernet cable, then you can print wireless. It is a typical way to print wirlessly using wire printer.
