The Lapdock is simply a huge battery, keyboard, and screen. All of it's computing functions are handle by the phone you plug into it. Plugging in a mobile broadband USB data device won't do anything.

Ok new question.

What kind of printers work with the lapdock? Is it just plug in the printer and your set? What all is required if not to get it to work

Not sure if plugging in a printer would work- never tried it. I don't see why a wifi-enabled printer wouldn't work though.

I bought a hp laserjet pro p1102w earlier its wireless im gonna try it out later. I figured a $140 printer for $40 wasnt bad

Also, you shouldn't need to have a lapdock to print wirelessly

Dang! That's a great deal for a HP LaserJet printer! Where did you get it that cheap?

Sorry for the late response, I've been busy.

I bought the printer off craigslist. Ended up selling it, didnt work the way i planned.
