Will this adaptor facilitate communication between a tablet and (for instance) a printer's embedded web interface via a crossover cable?

Jack are you saying you found a way to get a PRINTER to work with an Android tablet?? ("I have only used it under an android OS, of which it works fine.") I don't know if you're talking about a printer, or a wired (internet) network. As for the OP's question: I tried to find Android printers and it appears there's no such thing, and of course no drivers for that OS. I don't see how it could work with a printer because there is no (so-to-speak) 'print command' in Android. If you hook a printer up to it, the tablet wouldn't know what to do with it (hence what drivers are for).But I use this device to connect my tablet to my wired network (when I don't need WiFi) and it works perfect.-Clint Jack are you saying you found a way to get a PRINTER to work with an Android tablet??

If the printer needs drivers to work under an OS it may not work. I have only used it under an android OS, of which it works fine.

I would not know, this adaptor is for internet use. I know it will give you a [plug & play] wired internet on a Nexus 7 if you add a OTG cable. It does the same with those Mini PC's. I have never tried to print....

Android is a peculiar beast in regards to ethernet networking. Hooking up a crossover network cable from the tablet directly to the printer yielded no access to the embedded web interface through any browsers. I saw I had at least the physical link light lit on my printer so there was communication through the physical layers of the TCP/IP stack between both devices. I even tried with static IP addresses on the same subnet, but no dice. However ,when I connected the tablet to the hub, which was connected to my internet router, I was able to access the web interface of my Minolta-QMS magicolor 2300DL with the Dolphin/Firefox/Chrome browsers. If you do wish to print to a printer on your network, the apps I found most useful were: PrintBot and PrinterShare Mobile Print. I found that PrintBot worked with my Galaxy S2 smartphone even if the printer on a different subnet. With my tablet, PrintBot could not find my printer at all through ANY connection (WiFi or ethernet) but PrinterShare Mobile Print was able to find my printer as long as my tablet was on the SAME network address as the printer. Hope this helps.

Very unlikely. I think there's only a few printers that work with their tablets. But I don't know for sure.

This cable is capable of charging the tablet, while the USB port is in use. The catch is the tablet won't allow it, unless you root the tablet and install a kernel modified to allow charging while in host mode.

It will work with any tablet that has the adaptor port to plug the keyboard into

Yes, I have used both on a tablet PC and they worked without interfering with one another.

Don't think so. I have a wireless router in my home so the internal modem in the tablet syncs with my WiFi connection. Sorry I could not be more specific.

This item works for tablets with OTG (On-The-Go) function through USB connection.

Yes it should, you'll need a vga adaptor if your tablet doesn't have a vga output. But this will take the display from a device, then clone it twice one for each end.

This adapter is used to connect a flash drive to the tablet. Not sure about a keyboard...

If your tablet/phone has that ability then yes, it should be able to connect. I have not used it for these devices.

It should. Basically it is a switch followed by a hub. Whatever connected to the hub is switched between 2 computers. However, sharing the printer through a network would be my personal choice.

I used it to connect my daughters Nabi tablet to her tv. Just look on your tablet to see if your Hdmi is smaller than the one on the tv

That depends on if your tablet is compatible with HDMA "mini" or "micro" and you'll want to look at the specs of the tablet to find out. Many tablets have an HDMI micro port, in which case this isn't the correct cable.

it should work with both it comes with about 10 or more adapters and i use it for multiple items from my nextbook tablet to a laptop

If your keyboards have standard USB connections it should work the leads of this cable are rather short so you may need extenders . Will you be able input information to both computers at the same time ? I do not know .

Yes, as far as you have port to connect with the tablet monitor (like VGA, HDMI, Mini-Display, DVI-I)

No. I am not aware of any tablet computers that would have an Ethernet port. The port side would be higher than the thickness of any tablet I have seen.
