I have a linksys e3200 router and 3 pc's connected:
fed30 desktop, fed30 laptop & Imac with latest macos Mojave.
All connections are ethernet (I don't like wireless).
I also have an Epson inkjet connected by usb cable to Imac.
I can print from Imac: usb + wireless(if I configure wireless)
I can print from desktop: usb (but too much bother switching
cable from Imac to desktop)
I can print from laptop: usb + wireless(if I configure wireless)
The desktop does not have wireless card so can't use that.
(Wireless printing is directly from pc to printer, not via router)
Now the linksys e3200 has a usb port that should be able to handle
compatible disks and printers. If I could could configure this
for the printer I would be able to print from all 3 pc's
without problems as the printer is in the local network.
The problem is I can't get this to work.
First I don't even know if the port is active (i.e. if it works).
I don't have a compatible disk to try if it works with storage.
(It certainly doesn't work with usb sticks).
If I "configure" printing (ipp) with cups after installing Epson
driver I cannot print ("no connection" to printer).
It (an IP address) does not show up in anything I try
(nmap only shows the router and the pc IP's for example).
A check should be able using the 'Cisco connect' software
on the Imac. But the latest version is not accepted by Mojave
even though it should be compatible, so I cannot install it.
Is there any way of finding out if the usb port is working?
If not I will have to buy a wireless dongle for the desktop
and use wireless (even though I would prefer not to).
