I am guessing her, but try connecting it to your hub with an ethernet cable, install Bonjour for Windows, and my guess is that you will be able to print with no problem. (You may have to set an IP address for the printer -- read the manual). &nbsp;<a href="http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bonjourforwindows.html" rel="ugc">http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bonjourforwindows.html</a>

Apple devices including Macs, iPhones, iPods and iPad support standard wired and wireless networking technologies, but they also utilize custom applications and some special techniques for networking with each other and with non-Apple devices. Apple manufacturers the AirPort line of wireless networking products, and has its own networking protocols, AppleTalk and AFP (Apple Filing Protocol).

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
