Can you plug in an external TB sized hard drive into the dock? How about a printer?

The dock has three universal serial bus ports, so if your hard drive has a USB connection, you shouldn't have a problem. If your printer has a USB connection, you can probably plug that in too. I have not tried hard-wiring to a printer, but it makes sense. If you are connecting those two and a mouse and keyboard, you may want to look at a USB hub.

Yes. It works. I'm using a USB 3.0 hub, hard drives, wireless mouse, wireless keyboard, printers, videos ports. All USB ports are 3.0. This dock works very well!

Yes you can. Probably a good idea to get a little 4-port usb hub to make sure you have plenty of connections available.

I didn't end up getting this. I got a refund. I bought a wireless docking station instead.

You should be able to plug an external hard drive into the dock and the windows operating system will recognize it. Software is embedded in the hard drive so yes it should work, size shouldn't matter. You should also be able to connect a usb printer also as long as the tablet can find drivers.

You could just remember you are limited to the amount of USB spots on your dock.

It did fine with 2TB portable hard drive via USB3 ports of the dock, speed is quite impressively as fast as any notebooks' USB3 ports, however I've never tried with printers since I seldom use them. Hope this can help.

No. One of the TB ports is the one that connects the dock to your computer.

Not sure what you are asking. Some new computers have A drive facility but a separate drive dock is necessary. This device permits you to operate a floppy via a USB connection.

I'm not sure because after purchasing the dock I sent it to our IT specialist and he told me that the drive itself was damaged and the new dock wouldn't have worked anyway. Thanks, and good luck - Gary D.

No. Order the correct size HDD enclosure. I think it's a 2.5". Or, get one of the docking stations.

I made the mistake of purchasing a new Dock, only to find out the cord was the problem. HP does not sell the cord. I have yet to find one on line.

Don't know. I got on line and researched the specific dock that paired with my lap top.m I suggest that you do the same

Yes. The computer has plenty of USB ports, which is how I connect my printer.

You need a Kodak Easy Share printer dock, the picture of that is shown on the paper cartridge package....

Yes and if You buy an OTG cable with the extra lead for charging and use an external power source it will mount an external hard drive or usb printer

The good news is that the connector in side the dock is a standard SATA port. The bad news (for me) is that a full size desktop HD wont fit. I had to use Sabrent USB-DSC5 Serial ATA or IDE 2.5-/3.5-Inch to USB 2.0 Cable Converter Adapter with Power Supply to connect my HD. Now I guess I look for a cheap laptop HD....Let me know if I can do anything else for ya.

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

I don't see any reason that the dock will not take a standard sheet of paper. The dock is powered by a USB cable for use with the computer. It does not have a wall outlet power supply.

Yes you can, mine worked best with the USB cable. I got rid of the printer completely because the internal wi-fi card went bad.

I looked at the specs... I didn't see any other port option for the USB print server. To tell you the truth... I believe you would be better off just buying a printer with bluetooth built in. Printers today are not that expensive.

No unfortunately your only option is to buy a 64gb ipad...there is no option to add an external hd
