OK, that was my error. You typed "router," I read "printer." My objection is invalid.
The problem with your setup is that the USB port on your router is made strictly for storage devices, not printers. Your printer is USB only, meaning that it doesn't have internal coding to interpret network-style print traffic. If you want to run it over a network, you need to attach it to something that simulates a local computer with printer sharing. Your router doesn't provide this service, as it's not built to host printers. The fact that the printer manages to "show up" as a Bonjour device is simply an artifact of the implementation. You won't be able to talk to it. If you need to make this work for physical-space reasons, you'll have to add a box like this <https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=5342&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIuZKdl7uQ3AIVDcpkCh3DCAA-EAQYASABEgLt4vD_BwE> that performs exactly this conversion — for $17, not an expensive solution. > On Jul 8, 2018, at 2:10 PM, Macs R We <[email protected]> wrote: > > >> Printer is USB only. >> >> The router in question has a USB port, and support for network printing.
