Can I hook up my all in one printer / fax to this

Yes, that should not be an issue as there are USB ports available on the side of unit. If you need more USB ports I would recommend getting a USB hub that is self powered.

If your printer/all-in-one device can connect via USB or Ethernet cable (RJ-45), then you can connect to this Gateway All-in-One PC. If it requires a serial or parallel connection, then it will not.

Sure it can be - although if you have it set up for wireless capability, you'll find it on your network. If you just hardwire it to your computer, it is a true standalone printer.

Yes. I used this exclusively for faxing with my Epson all in one printer/fax.

You can hook it up straight to phone. This fax is neat. It also works as a printer if you hook it up to your laptop or desktop. I use it for business, definitely recommend it.

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 have an all in one printer connected and fax from there via google voice with no problems so I am sure it would work with a PC fax modem as well.

This is the most common reason for using it on an all-in-one device which includes a fax.The simplest way to really enjoy your fax again is to use a Y splitter (2 jacks out from one jack plugged into the wall outlet) available just about anywhere for a couple of dollars. Run a cable from one of the splitter jacks in the wall to your phone. It will be available all the time, then run another cable from the other jack on the splitter directly to the fax. Don't use the line out on the fax at all.Now you have your phone and when you need the fax, you can leave it powered on and still use the printer, etc. but simply switch off the phone line when you do not want the fax to interfere with anything.

No. This is a wired printer. You must have a USB printer cable in order to connect this machine to your computer.

The back of the printer has a port for a standard phone/fax line, which is supplied with the printer. THis fax line has only two contacts instead of the stardard 4 that most phone lines have. Connect this to the proper port and run the fax setup program from the touch panal on the printer. If this is a dedicated and separate line you should be good. If it a shared line with distinctive ring you will need to set the number of rings before the fax comes through. This may take some playing with to get it right. Follow the instructions in the setup program. Good luck. Printer works great in all functions.

No, this is a 1980s type stand alone fax with thermal paper, and not an all in one printer.

Hello niki deen: The only phone line you need to connect incoming house ( Lan line) to printer only. Faxes can be transmitted to printer wirelessly. No need to connect phone lines to computers ounce you have set up the printer wireless. You are lucky because the new printers make you pay for faxes sent and rececieved. I do not know how it works receiving faxes though from other places. I think you need to have a fax line number for that. It cost money. You can send out free faxes no problem. That is how I use my printer when sending faxes. Almost all places now use regular e-mails now. Fax machines are becomming a thing of the pass. It is nice to have one when you need it to send out a fax. Hello niki deen: The only phone line you need to connect incoming house ( Lan line) to printer only.

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 fax capability. All-in-one means print, scan, copy, photo print in this case.

Yes it is. Install the package from the CD to your computer. Then go to system preferences to add "US Modem" in 'PRINTER' icon. RESTART your computer. And you are good to go. Plug a regular phone line into the US Modem, the US Modem to your computer and you are ready to fax. Whenever you want to fax, press print and select "US Modem". Enter fax to number, add cover pages etc and press FAX. You should be good to go. I love it. Simple, effective and I do not have to count on a fax machine or printing out paper to fax. I fax directly from my computer! Good luck!

You did not specify the printer model, so I'll assume that it's an all-in-1. The modem is strictly for your fax. Check for a usb plug, if there is one available use that. If there is no usb plug then open up your manual (or download one from the mfg site) and find the wireless setup for your printer and have it TCPIP to your wireless hub. IF you do not have a wireless hub... A: up-grade to a new hub... or b: return the printer for a wired unit with both a usb & fax-phone port. Hope this helps.

Yes. Just make sure you get a splitter if you have it on a fax/computer line.
