Can this product be used with all-in-one printers?

The product description says: "Great for sharing a printer, scanner, or other USB device between two computers (one computer has access at a time)." I'm guessing you select the printer function at the printer. Receiving and sending faxes is a separate function that uses the phone line. So, it's likely that you'd send the fax page just completed to the printer via the switch, then fax it using the printer-to-phoneline connection. If you control all the printer functions from you computer, chances are the switch will work. At $14.99 a pop, it's worth giving it a try.

We set up our all-in-one to print over the network, but this renders the scanner/fax useless. The switch allows the all-in-one to be connected to the network and to a local machine. Through the network, we can print from any computer on the network. If we need to scan/fax, hit the switch, turn on the local machine and take care of business. Be aware, you must remember to switch it back, otherwise, everybody is yelling about the printer not working over the network.

No - not at all. This is a USB + additional power adapter. Do not attempt to use this to connect 2 computers to one printer.

I haven't tried this but this is a generic Model printer and may very well work with any brand. This is my assumption. It's cheap at cost but the hidden cost for me was having to higher a technician. Sometimes a higher model might be the same cost for you if add in the tech fee

I don't think so, this is a very basic printer. I love it though. very light and efficient.

Sorry - not sure i understand the question but in any case this printer may not do it. Try the manufacturer.

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.

I believe you can...would need to connect to the printer with usb cable...I connected the printer to a laptop to down load up dates when setting things up, but we use it wi-fi since more than one person uses it...

I don't see why not. I have two Lexmark printers and I have successfully printed to both. I just use the cord that plugs in directly to the printer and go from there.

I used it to connect a brother laserprinter to an Asus all in one computer. It should work as long as the printer has a USB B type connector

The software you use should not be an issue. As long as your computer has a USB port, the printer should work nicely.

as far as I know you can I use it with this printer. It has to be a Air printer.

Sorry to say that I do not know the answer to that question, but I can tell you that I am extremely pleased with this product and would recommend it to anybody who has a compatible printer.

ld products shows all the mp printers are compatible. Ask the vendor to be sure.

I do not believe that this software is printer dependent. System requirements are Windows XP, Vista, 7 and/or 8. If you are using one of these windows systems, you should be just fine.

This unit should work with any printer that has a USB connection. Each computer thinks it is is the only one connected to the printer. I would suggest pressing the desired switch for computer A or B before starting the print job because the computer has to know it has communication before it will send the print job. On occastion mine fails so I just cancel the print job, operate the switch back and forth to "re-establish" communication and I am good to go.
