Can this printer be powered with the computer's USB port? To eliminate the power cord.

no, you need the included ac adaptor(is a 12v output), usb is only 5v output.

It says it requires a 12V battery as well. Can it be powered by the 12V battery, or is that just to store configuration, etc?

The wireless printer that I have, did not need anything cord connected to my computer. Sorrry do not know if that cord will work.

Yes, I have a printer hooked up to mine -- works great. I'm very pleased with this laptop!

No, you can use the printer either with the USB port or wireless. Which ever is easier for you. Jack F

No. It has a parallel port for printing. You have to get a parallel port to USB adapter to drive a USB printer. There's also a need to disable bi-directional printing (I believe it's called), or you'll wait six minutes for the printing to occur.

My printer was provided with a power cord. However, it is 110 voltage so any cord thatwil fit into the recepticle would probably work since it is unlikely the printer pulls a lot of amps.

I've had this printer for a long time. I can't remember whether or not it came with a USB cord. On the other hand, I didn't just have spare USB cords just sitting around and still don't, so I suspect it came in the package.

Yes. The USB cord that came with mine was about 3 feet long. I used a slightly longer USB cord from teh old printer and it seems to work fine.

The USB port acts as a print server for any usb printer. You can't add an external hard disk to this unit

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...

The printer comes with a Power Cord & a Telephone Cable in the box. The ethernet cable and/or USB cable have to be purchased seperately.

Yes you can. Just like a laptop, for example, you may connect a USB printer (keep in mind there is only 1 USB port) or add a wireless printer.

Sue, You are incorrect. The printer can print USB, but like most printers for the last decade it does not include a USB cable (about $3 on Amazon if you can't find one at your house). Printing by USB is identical to printing wireless and you are not required to email the documents. It is just a different way of connecting the printer. Of course, a wireless connection also allows multiple computers to send print jobs at once. If you are printing strictly by email you are completely lost and confused. I would suggest you ask a more tech sauvy friend of yours to help out. The email "feature" you are referring to is for when you are away from your computer at home and want to email a document to be printed over the internet.

I do not think so. The only thing that comes with the printer is the adapter and the cable to plug it to a wall power supply. This model does not even come with a cable to connect it to a computer.

I'd assume any printer that has a USB port to connect to the computer, as most new printers have this. I don't use it to print things personally.

There are usb ports. That's the most popular printer connection if your printer is not network (LAN or wireless) enabled.
