Brother SOHO Wireless Black & White Eligible Laser Printer

A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Brother SOHO Wireless Black & White Eligible Laser Printer. The short answer is yes. Like most "SOHO" (Small Office/Home Office) printers from Brother, this model is designed to be flexible. You can absolutely use it as a traditional "plug-and-play" device without ever connecting it to the internet or a wireless network. Here is how that setup works and a few things to keep in mind: 1. Using Only a USB Cable You can operate the printer entirely through a USB 2.0 A-to-B cable (the one with the square-ish connector on one end). Offline Mode: When connected via USB, the printer acts as a local peripheral. It does not require an active internet connection to print documents from your computer. Security: This is actually a preferred method for many people who want to avoid the potential security vulnerabilities of having a printer live on a Wi-Fi network. 2. Is the Cable Included? Heads up: Most Brother laser printers do not include the USB cable in the box. They assume you will either use Wi-Fi or already own a cable from an old printer. If you don't have one, you’ll need to pick up a "USB 2.0 Printer Cable" separately.
