Share USB printer through DIR-320 router?

Question

I have a Dir-320 D-Link router with an USB port. I wanted to connect my USB printer (which doesn't have a network cable) to the dir-320 router, and thereupon share this printer over a homegroup. Any ideas how this is done? I'd live a step by step guide. Thanks

Answer 1

Are you in Australia? I can't get the instruction manual open from here (US). The DIR-320 does not appear on the US site. Based on the specs, it should include a USB print server. The US model that is similar, DIR-330 does not and is why the other post says what it does I imagine.



Cheers



Here is the link to the print server option setup:

Impossible to do it via usb, if you have a printer with an inbuilt print server (it doesnt sound like this one does) you need a usb to ethernet adapter.



Otherwise you need to invest in a print server:

P.S. you can also get wireless versions if your printer is located in a different room to your router
