This should work fine with the Widows 7 desktop and laptop. It will not work with the iPhone or iPad, for that you will need a printer that is already AirPrint capable or a print server that supports AirPrint. Last I looked, I was not able to find any print servers that would work with both Windows and iOS -- you can get either, but not both. If you leave your PC on all the time, you can use an application called "Fingerprint". You iOS device will print through the FingerPrint application on your Windows computer, and then on to the print server software that is running on the Windows PC. That is my current configuration. Hope this helps! This should work fine with the Widows 7 desktop and laptop.

Sorry, but the answer is no as this is not a wireless print hub. What your looking for can be found using the following link. Just make sure whatever device you use can support both Windows, Windows Phone, and IoS. Hub must also support your printer. Might even be cheaper to buy a new wireless printer, just be sure that it supports AirPlay for Apple devices. Best of luck. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_15?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords;=wireless+print+server&sprefix;=wireless+print+%2Celectronics%2C278 Sorry, but the answer is no as this is not a wireless print hub.

I originally bought this as well and had to return it. It does not support your needs, if you have a multi-function device. The print server that does is the TP Link TL PS310U. I have a Lexmark X7350 and the TP-Link TL PS310U did work for printing and scanning. I am using a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit OS. I had to update the firmware on the TP-Link device to the latest. Trick is to install the printer as a USB device on your computer as the drivers were finicky. Then you can print and scan via the TP Link interface. This will work for your Desktop and laptop but not your iOS devices.

I believe it's only going to work with USB. If u need a network printer it should be ms310dn.

We use the printer on a home network with an iMac, 2 pc's, 2 iPads (air printing) and no problems at all.

Absolutely. Depending on your router's features, you should have two options available. 1) Connect it to the router via Ethernet cable, then connect to it through your network. Exactly how you do this depends on your OS. Note that in this case the PC you use to se it up will basically become the "print server" and will need to be turned on if you wish to print from a different PC. 2) Some routers will let you hook up the printer via a USB cable, in which case you will configure the printer via the router's GUI, and the router will be the print server.

Short answer: No. Long answer: You need some sort of print server to connect a non-networked printer to a LAN, be it another computer using printer sharing, a specialized device meant for the purpose, or a low-power hobby device that requires a bit of technical know-how such as a Pi, and the latter two options are not guaranteed to work with all printers. That said, you could use this device as a network adapter for a computer lacking one and plug the printer into that computer as well.

I'm not sure I understand your question? First let me preface with, this is not a print server. This is a wifi to LAN adaptor. It is the equivalent of having a long Ethernet cable between you printer or other networkable device and you router/hub/switch, without the cable but using wireless in its place. If your printer is network aware and your computer has the correct proper software for its OS to print to a networkable printer then you should not have a problem.

Frist you have a Plugable® 7-Port Aluminum USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Hub with 20W Power Adapter (VIA VL812 Rev B2 Chipset with v9081 Firmware for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux Support. A hub will not enable you to network three computers and a hub. You need a router which will enable you to create a network on which you may have three computers and a printer that may each communicate with each other. That is not only can you print from any one of your computers but also send files between two computers for instance. Hope this helps.

If you download the HP Printer Control app, it should. I print from my iPhone 3G all the time. Both my phone and my printer are on the same wi-fi network, and I think that's a requirement to make them function together.Often, my printer decides to disconnect itself from my wi-fi, so I have to reconnect it when it does.

I would love to answer your question.I had purchased two of these.When they arrived neither one worked.My Hp Photosmart A646 is a excellent one .And yes they print those size prints and more.I wish they'd make update this little printer!Hope this helps' you.

I don't see why the printer wouldn't work. I'm sure all you would need to do is download a driver from Dell's website if it didn't work right away. I have not heard any plans to phase out Windows 7 just yet. But even if they were to, it wouldn't make a difference in my opinion. I just recently bought this computer with Windows 7 Pro and I upgraded/downgraded (whichever way you want to look at it) to Windows 7 Home Premium. In my opinion, it's the best OS that Windows ever created. I now have 3 computers with this OS and never once have I had a problem with it. I wouldn't worry about Win7 being phased out unless you rely on customer support or something like that. I don't see why the printer wouldn't work.

Your Windows 7 PC and iOS device are independent of each other and are accessing the wireless network on their own. So when choosing to print from your iOS device through the Lantronix print server your Windows 7 device does not need to be powered up. The print server is printing to the network printer.

Hi Carol....I am using my 870 with Windows 7 via WiFi with my Apple laptop. It works fine, but with a lot of whirring and clicking before the printing. It's fine though.

This printer features an ethernet connection, meaning it can be networked and used by multiple computers. If you are using the USB connection, you would need to connect it to a print server for sharing.I recommend the networked option. The guide should include a walkthrough for setting it up.

I use an iPhone with AirPrint to print all the time, so it will work with iPads. Other tablets? I don't know:

I don't know that you need a driver for the device. You need a printer driver for the printer and then you need to set up a generic TCP/IP port for it to print to. I followed the advice of the reviewer who talked about setting it up manually and it worked with XP and Win7 for me and I didn't need a driver for the device.

I have two PCs on a home network, with this print server also on the network. I was able to print from both PCs simultaneously. The print jobs were queued in the order received. The first job was 5 pages while the second was only one page. All 5 pages printed before the single page, just as you would expect.

All printers have to have software (drivers) available for the computer that is using them. That isn't tied to the computer hardware, but to the Operating System. If you are running Windows 7, or 8, or even XP, I think you'd be Ok. Same for Apple IOS.
