Is there anyone out that is using a USB hub to connect to one USB
Printer from mulitiple computers ?
Like auto self detect hub on each port. Not a switch hub.
I have tried two different ones with no luck .
Could you give me some Make, Models.
?
As far as I know USB doesn't support this mode of operation. There can
be only one master, ie PC connected to a hub.
What you could do is connect the printer to one computer and then share
it over the network or use a USB printer server that has a USB port on
it.
From what I have read, If you have all the boxes on the same LAN, and
the printer
connected by ethernet the boxes should be able to connect to printer using
lpd:// instead of ipp:// .
Am I on the right track ?
I have two boxes setup on that configuration and they are printing fine
, wth a
2Wire783 router, but if I replace the router with a Linksys WRT54G the
computers cannot commuicate with the printer.
But if I ping the printer at 192.168.1.102 ( that is where it is on the
Linksys)
I can get a network connection, But I can't print from the two boxes,
cups can't
connect to printer.
I called Linksys and they say there is no problem with their router.
