Yes orange USB will work in the other computer
And no her wifi printer won't work because you need a router but can be plugged in with USB you can buy 3G routers which you just plug orange wifi in and it shares out the 3g and printers and files if you wanted them too
Hope that helps |

While the USB dongle should work, check the model is compatible with the Operating system.
Some older dongles don't like the Windows 7, or if its very new a chance the machine has Windows 8.
The orange website is a good place to if the dongle needs newer software. |

Not necessarily true about printer. I assume you nean its a wireless one? As long as the laptop has wireless capability which it undoubtedly has if new. You will be able to use the printer and connect to it directly. It doesn't need a router
With regards to the dongle it should have per-loaded software that will install on the laptop the first time you plug it in |
