Usually hooking up a printer to a computer requires a printer cable (and they are usually some sort of USB). If your printer has an ethernet port you might be able to connect it to the router so that all devices can connect. If it is a wireless printer you can connect to it wirelessly. Probably just need to install the software on each device.

Hello Nyla,Alot of Printers require an USB 2.0 or 3.0 cable for a direct connection to a laptop to print. If your laptop and printer have an Ethernet port, you could use this cable to print. Thanks,Mediabridge Customer Support

Yes, you can. You will have to set up your printer on your wireless network first. The printer itself does not have wireless, but if you connect it to your wireless network (via ethernet cord), your laptop will be able to see it while on the network.

No this printer must be hard-wired to a network or wifi router of some sort in order to print.

Hello there, the end connector for the printer is USB. You need what is called a USB Male A-B printer cable. One end is the traditional rectangular USB male shape you are familiar with that plugs into your PC and other end is sort of a square male connector that connects to the printer itself. You can also use a Cat5 Ethernet cable to connect the printer to a router. You can use one or other. Mine is connected using the Ethernet connector, my computers share the printer on a home network. A-B Printer cables come in sizes 6 feet to 10 feet traditionally. I believe you can go as high as 25 feet before the USB cable has communication problems. I hope this helps.

You're typical printer to usb cable, flat rectangle one end, squarish on the other. Just type in Printer USB cable. You can also hook this us to your router and have it on the network (that's what I did).

This printer has wifi to connect via a router but I use it with a cable directly from the printer to the PC. No router needed for this. The wifi did not work.

Do you mean whether or not Samsung ML-2165 works fine connecting it to your pc via the cable, without wifi?If yes, I believe that the multi-function printer works good without wifi.

This is not a wireless printer. You would have to get a wireless print server to have it connect wirelessly with your router.

Yes but it will only use one connection method at a time. As long as the printer is on the network it shouldn't matter.

If you get a router that has a USB port, then you can use that. It will become a network printer then.

Yes. Mine is connected to my computer by way of a standard USB cable, which is provided when you order the printer. If it prints wirelessly, I don't use it that way. Good luck.

Yes you can. In fact, that's the same setup I have. Just activate the wireless on the printer and connect the desktop via an USB. Your laptop will seek out the wireless connection. Good luck.

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/

If you lack a wireless router you can connect the printer to your computer with a USB cable, or to a wired network with an Ethernet cable. And, of course, it supports the earlier wireless "B" and "G" standards if you have an older wireless router which doesn't support "N".

If the printer is indeed a M601N (the "N" is for Network), then it will have a standard Ethernet connection for network connectivity. You would use a standard CAT-5 or CAT-6 network cable to connect the printer to your data network.
