Will it allow me to print wirelessly from my laptop or will my laptop need to be plugged into it for me to be able to print?

this is a wired print server, I have never tried printing wireless but in theory I think it could work as long as the print server in plugged in your wireless router.

This device plugs into an ethernet port on your router and your usb printer plugs into it. As long as the router it's plugged into is wireless also, all wired and wireless devices can locate and print from it. It works great for us.

This is a wired print server, so the printer will have to have a wire running from it to a router. However, if that router is a wireless router, then your laptop can print as long as it is using that same wireless router.

I don't think you can make a printer that doesn't have wireless capabilities into one that does. Definitely not with this adapter. Is that what you were asking? If you were wondering if this will let your computer talk to a wireless router, and then the router talks to a wireless printer --then yes. But this thing plugs into a computer -- not a printer.

No. The printer works just fine with USB cord that is included, and it works well in the wireless mode, too.

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'm embarrassed answering this question asked almost a year ago, but if your computer does not have a Built-in Wireless LAN you need to buy a usb cord. My desktop PC was able to air-print and so I installed it without the usb cord. My laptop however is not able to air-print so I needed to purchase one anyway.

Yes, you will be able to print wirelessly on your network or hard wired to your printer.

You say that it is connected to a Modem - is your modem a wireless gateway? Or do you have your printer connected to your router (many people confuse routers and modems)? in either case, you should be able to access your printer wirelessly from your laptop directly through your wireless network.

This printer does not have the wireless feature. I plug mine directly into a router.

I have printer directly connected to modem and can print from wireless laptop connect to wireless modem

Yes, because your laptop comes with a 2.0 USB port which is where you would plug the cord in order for this printer to work (printer does not come with the cord, you would have to buy it separately). BTW, this particular printer is not wireless. Hope this helps you.

It does not print wirelessly. However, you can hook it up via ethernet cable to your router, and then you can print wirelessly over your network.

No. This dongle is put into the USB port of your computer...it makes your computer blue tooth capable. It is not a receiver of the signal, it is a PRODUCER of the signal. If you have a Bluetooth capable printer, it would allow you to print wirelessly.

Definitely not. There's the power plug included that goes from the pinter into the wall outlet and then you must buy a USB cord separately to connect from the printer to your laptop/computer in order to print.

No, this is not a wireless printer. You can purchase 3rd party wireless adapter and make it so, but by default it must be physically connected to a computer or router.

I am assuming you have a wireless device like a laptop. You will need to install the device driver included with the printer and choose network. It will detect the printer on your network. The printer should be connected to an network port on your wireless router in order for it work before you install the driver.

It's a network capable printer. You can use an Ethernet cable to connect it to your router. Any computer connected to your router, whether by Ethernet cable or wirelessly using wifi, can install and use this printer. So if your laptop connects wirelessly to the internet using your router, your laptop can add this printer and then use it wirelessly. You can also connect the printer directly to your computer using an Ethernet cable.

If you have a network set up, any computer hooked up to that can print to it w/out bring directly connected. It's been a while since I've used this printer, but I don't think it's truly wireless. (It is a great printer though, I bought several for work.)
