Hi, I have 2 computers at home, one desktop computer and a laptop. I share my internet connection using a wireless router, hence have both my computers are also on a network.I have printer(HP 5600 officejet all in 1) at home which doesnt have an ethernet port for me connect it to a network. I was thinking if its possible for me to connect my printer to the router by using a USB to LAN converter. So essentially what I mean is Printer's USB cord -> USBtoLAN Converter(this gives me an ethernet port) -> router (using a cable)
Will this allow me to print from desktop and laptop?? or maybe my question should be will my printer be able to accquire an ip address from the dhcp on the router, and will this be accessible to me over the network for printing?? Any other suggestions for converting the non network printer to a networked one?? thanks -- Puneet http://sahyog.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
