How to connect USB printer to Sagemcom Home Internet Gateway
If I plug my USB printer into the available USB port on the Sagemcom Home Internet Gateway, how do I configure computers to print to it? Is there a port number I should use?
This is not what you want to do, but maybe it will be helpful.
I have a non-Wi-Fi printer (Brother HL-L2300D). It is connected via USB to my Windows desktop computer. I leave that computer on all the time. I can print to that printer from my laptop connected to Wi-Fi even if the desktop computer is asleep. As I recall, all I had to do was enable Sharing in the printer properties.
ns1037, you're right: it's not what I want to do, but it makes sense. As it happens, all our home computers are laptops or mobile devices. (Hmm, one might be able to do what you suggest using a Raspberry Pi.)
