No it doesn't!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You have to hook it up to a computer initially to set it up on the wireless network, but one you set it up you can disconnect it from the computer and make any other settings changes if necessary through a web browser.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The answer depends on your definition of a computer. With no connectivity of any kind you would be limited to copying and faxing, though this unit doesn't have a paper feed so there are any number of other all-in-one units that would be better solutions if you would be copying/faxing large numbers of pages (not an issue for me). However, if you have WiFi, then you can add printing from a smartphone or tablet, which have some of the functionality of computers, such as being able to run applications such as Word and Excel and others that would be able to print to the printer via WiFi if you needed/wanted to do so. So, it really depends on what you want to do and what technical tools you have available, aside from a formal computer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It will copy w/o being hooked to a computer, but to print anything else it has to be connected to a computer by Wi-Fi or hard wire.
