Can this printer be packed in the same bag with laptop? Do I need a separate bag for it?

Is this printer compatable with a Mac Pro lap top. Is it simple for a non-techie type?

Depends on how large your bag is, printer is 17" x 10" x 5". Canon also makes some portable printers like the iP100 and the Selphy line.

I do not have a laptop, but a desk top computer. This printer I do not think is the type to carry around, but I am pleased with the printing I have done.

Yes. I have a desktop that stays hardwired to the printer and can simultaneously print wirelessly from my laptop.

Noo! I took it to the Bahamas as an extra bag. Since it is foldable, you can put it in your pocket or bag and have it in case you need it. It is very thin and flimsy. I wound up using it for my wet towel and flip flops. Do not put anything valuable in it, as the zipper will open from the weight. Your laptop will go crashing to the ground.

absolutley, its a great standalone. I have it on wireless and my computer is networked to it. I do all my scanning through the computer using there software. But it is fine as a standalone. I have 3 of these printers

If I understand you correctly, you want to connect the printer to your laptop via USB. If that's it, open the scanner cover; the USB socket is inside the machine on the right, next to where you store the orange protective part for the ink cartridges. Didn't get a USB cable with the printer. P.S. I'm really liking this printer.

This printer features an ethernet connection, meaning it can be networked and used by multiple computers. If you are using the USB connection, you would need to connect it to a print server for sharing. I recommend the networked option. The guide should include a walkthrough for setting it up.

That is how mine is set up. We have multiple laptops and a desktop configured to print wirelessly.

It all depends on the type of printer you own. My printers are connected via the USB port or wireless on my home net work. If I were to buy a new printer for my ASUS laptop, I would buy a wireless multifunction inkjet printer with low cost ink. You only pay once for the printer, the ink costs go on forever. If you already have a printer tell us what it is and we can help.

You don't have to buy it. But if you would like to be able to sit the printer up say on a table and not worry about having it plugged in to your laptop all the time then I would spend the extra money and get it. I use mine all the time on the go. and I like the fact that it can run off a battery and is also wireless and don't have to worry about all the cables laying around as I use my laptop and printer.

The package comes with a hard cover. Some laptops would work with one USB, the y-cable is optional for two USB powered machines.

Yes, but it is not AirPrint compatible so you will have to download the software from the CD that comes with the printer. This really has not been a big deal for me, as you only have to install the software once then never have to even open it. Besides that, if you are using a wired connection I don't THINK you have to install the software at all.

Mine (brand new) shipped shrink-wrapped in a retail (mostly white with some red) box. It wasn't difficult to open. It will work with a 802.11g wifi printer (I use my g printer with it).

Sure it can be - although if you have it set up for wireless capability, you'll find it on your network. If you just hardwire it to your computer, it is a true standalone printer.

Sure will! I can print from my phone and my wife prints to it from here mac laptop. I haven't figured out how to secure the connection but so far my neighbors haven't printed anything to it. :&gt; I really like this printer a lot!

I agree with what someone else pointed out (the printer is NOT Ethernet capable). I suspect that the seller has confused this Brother with a different model. The printer should come with a power cord--but those are a dime-a-dozen, as all computer equipment that plugs into an AC outlet directly (without using a power supply) has the same kind of cord, which you can buy online or even locally for a few dollars. But why don't you ask the seller? The printer does come (when new) with a power cord. It does NOT, however, come with a USB cord which is what you will need to connect it to a computer.

I ordered my wife a laptop for Christmas and I bought her the exact printer that you are referring to. It did not come with a USB cable. It has a connection but you have to buy a separate cable to connect to your computer or laptop.
