I need clarification on which combinations of network and local connections this printer supports.

 

Does it support USB, wired (ethernet),  wireless connections (on a Windows network) and AirPrint?

You can you use USB and one of the network connections at the same time.  If you are connected to a wired network with a cat. 5 cable- the wireless option is disabled.  So USB and one of the network connections can be used together.

 

-If you are connected via wireless- and then connect a cat. 5 network cable- the wirless connection will be disabled.

 

So USB and one network connection is supported.

Hello, if you have the "DW" model, it should have wireless capabilities, a wired ethernet port, and all printers come standard with the USB connection.

Can they all be used simultaneously?

Hello, once you plug in the ethernet port the wireless is disabled, but you should still be able to use the USB and one network connection as the other poster stated.
