I have four devices, a Windows 7 desktop, a Windows 7 Asus laptop, an iPhone, and an iPad on a home network that I would like your print server to work with. Will this work on my Canon MP 970 printer?

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!

I will be careful. Most cannon printers are not updated with their software. My cannon printer says I can print from my iPad , but it only allows me to print from my iPhone. A necessary patch is needed to update this printer. Is a 50/50 chance it will work because i still cant print from my ipad. I will choose a different make (printer). Hope this helps.

Yes it should work....but we have an issue. Ours was bought in June for a Christmas gift...took it out of box to use at Christmas and set it up then. It has issues with the printhead but we have to be home with the printer (because it was too late to exchange) for the tech people to help. We are ALWAYS at work when the company techs could help. I have used Brothers before and it is a good name and they have always worked well for me. Sorry I could not be of more help. My luck, if there is a lemon, I get it! Ha ha.

It does for me but it really depends on the app you want to print from and the server you are connecting to. Server 2008R2 worked fine.

Hi, J.H. - Let me first say that I am not by any means a software expert and perhaps others are better equipped to answer your question. Also, you didn't state if your OS was Apple or PC. If PC and you're using WIN 7 or 8 then PNP should work and Windows will find and install the necessary drivers. However, without installing the accessories on the CD you probably won't be able to access the great wireless capabilities of the printer. Hope this helps.

Using its built in Wi-Fi connection, I have printed from a Mac, two iPads and an iPhone. I don's see how three compters would not work as well. Hard wiring might be a hastle.

just using the print function should work just fine' providing your printer is in the network sharing

it can if you connected the 7 port usb unit to the computer you want to use the printer for, if you plug your printer into the 7 port usb unit. this is not a router, it's a usb unit.

I bought my printer used from an online auction about six years ago. I have used it via USB connection, and currently have it wired to the U-Verse WI-FI server/hub/modem/whatever. Mine work(ed)s great with WIN XP, WIN Vista, WIN 7, WIN 8 and now WIN 8.1 OS. My son is printing from the household network using his current Apple OS release from both iPAD and a MacBook, but I don't know the release nickname.

I do not know. I have both Mac and Windows computers able to print to it. My guess you should be able to as an IP printer (Print to the IP of the print server in windows like I do for my Mac)

I do not believe that any of the print servers from TP-LINK support this. In fact I don't think any of the network print servers support the multi-functions. They only support printing.

There is no need for print server or port for basic printing. You just connect your printer on the network and all compatible computers will see it and be able to peint.RegardsM. L.

can't say as I boycott Apple products. I would do a search for the software to the model you want. You'll need this installed on any device where you want to use wireless printing. If you have know issues installing the software, it should work. In theory.

this is a network or usb printer. I have it attached to a Macbook Pro under os/x 10.9. it will work but I have been very dissatisfied with the printer it does head cleanings on its' own schedule and will waste an entire set of inks in a month. - good quality print but expensive to maintain! I would suggest an regular ink jet printer rather than this one.

Make sure you use a Static IP address, in addition, set a port number for the print server. It should work

It works fine with my Dell computer, which runs Windows 7. Unless your computer is a dinosaur, the printer should work just fine.

Yes it does. The print server has nothing to do with the OS you use. It is a standalone device on your network with an IP address and port. You then add a printer on your network using internet as the option and specify the IP address and then choose the correct printer drivers from your os. Remember, to configure the device you will need to make sure it has a default local IP address that is on your network. See my previous comments on how to do this.
