A home hub/printer question

stefano

We have a BT Home Hub in one room, a printer in another and 3 laptops scattered around the house. I wanted to know if it was possible to connect the printer to the hub and print documents from the various laptops.

Yes it is possible.

By reading the manual :eek:

Which printer is it?
many all in one units that are wireless have your plan in mind before you even thought about it. Some you can also scan wirelessly (don't know how/if that works with several machines though )

you can technically connect it to the hubs usb port but I never got it to work

I used the article in the link and got both laptop and desktop to print wirelessly. Occasionally things won't print, but as a back up, I also set up a USB connection on each so that the printer can be plugged directly into the computer.
