“Simultaneous / Dual connectivity possible? (Wired and Wireless) We would like to connect this printer to two different computers simultaneously. One uses wireless to access the internet the other only uses the ethernet. So they are on two different "networks" so to speak. Can we set up the printer to be accessible to both? Use a wireless connection for the wireless computer and a USB connection for the ethernet style computer ? Will that cause a problem with the printer?”

You shouldn't have any problems with that. just ensure when you load the software you load the wired connection for the wired PC, and wireless for the wireless units.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You should have no issues with a "dual connection". I say this with confidence, as I currently use the HP Officejet 8620 with a hard connection as well as wireless connection for ease of printing around the office (I can print things directly from my iPhone, or a laptop using the same Wi-Fi connection, or I can print documents from the desktop for a more secure connection.)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you can. Simply connect wireless, then connect wired version, make sure it is set up as a network printer and you can share the printer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Although I have not tried this on my 8620, there shouldn't be a problem enabling the wireless feature and using a USB direct connection to a computer. What I do in my situation is I connect my printer to a port on my switch via an ethernet drop cable and my users may print to the printer via the wireless AP as a network printer. I do not believe that you are allowed to set this printer to both hard-wired ethernet and wireless simultaneously - again, I have not tried this because for security, I do not allow wireless directly to the printer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not at this time
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You are not able to setup the printer to function wireless and wired (Ethernet) connection. However it will work with both on both wireless and USB connection.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
