Q: Can I buy a printer that may NOT need a computer connection?
A: I'm not sure if your question was regarding this scanner, sense you mentioned "printer" in your question. But just to be clear this item is a scanner only no printing capability. That being said it does have the ability to scan to a USB dive without needing a connection to computer directly. Hope this answers helps with your possible purchase.
