Can this printer be hard-wired (USB cable) to the computer instead of Wi-Fi?

I have one hardwired right now to USB printing. So, yes absolutely! And for a mid price printer it's excellent!

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 only way I know of is to print via the USB cable if you aren't connected to the network it is on.

I would expect you can if each computer has been linked with the printer via the router through wireless mode. If trying to hard-wire connect three different computers you need some type "splitter" box with connections to each computer and then to the computer.Me, I have two different printers (Epson wireless connected, and second older Epson haywire

Pretty much any printer you can connect through a standard USB cable - you may need to find printer software online because the laptop does not have a CD-ROM drive.

You need a router with USB port and printer capable or USB printer to Wifi adapter.Read http://www.ricksdailytips.com/convert-usb-printer-to-wireless/

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

Yes, you can print using WiFi or USB. I use Wi-Fi and it's fantastic! Make sure your printer has WiFi or else you'll need to use USB

No. You can connect the USB cord directly to computer. But for the wireless you do need a wireless network, and there are Internet features like Google Print that would only be available with an Internet connection.

NO. But there's an easy way to make it wireless.Just use a wirelless access point. connect the printer to it with a cat5 cable.Configure the wireless access point to act as a wireless client bridge to connect to your main WIFI network.I suggest you purchase a WIFI AP on which you can change the firmware to DDWRT. so you can make it a wireless client.The cost of an AP is about $50 and if a wifi card would exist it would probably cost more than that.

Unlikely, the square stand power cord has the build in USB ports needed for this printer. May I suggest looking into a Bluetooth recipt printer, that might be your best bet.

Yes cable to cable and wireless, if HP printer is capable. Monitor is capable as well.

This is NOT a wifi or bluetooth capable printer. A usb connection is required.

If you mean can you connect this to a computer to use it to connect to a wireless printer, the answer is yes. IF you are asking can you use this to plug into the printer so your computer can connect wirelessly (making the printer go from a wired printer to a wireless printer) -- I would need significantly more information than provided. The likely answer is NO. However, some printers support usb functionality such as hard drives, etc... however, in all those situations they are recently made and I would imagine that wireless is already built into them. I have never heard of a situation where this was possible. There are ways to connect a wired printer to your wireless network system and have it respond like a wireless printer.

Yes, you can connect with USB cable although I can't imagine why you would want to. You'll probably want to distance yourself from this printer as soon as possible. It is without doubt the worst piece of junk I've ever gotten from HP.

The end of the cord closest to the plug is a USB, so you can print from a computer or directly to the printer if it also has a USB. I haven't tried this but it should work!

I have never seen a wireless printer that didn't have a USB port to allow it to be plugged into a computer. In addition, this is not a wireless printer. Therefore, it can be plugged in as can any printer.
