| 619875 | 2007-12-10 07:23:00 | Is there a gadget, that allows a USB printer to be used as a network printer? I have two computers requiring access to a USB printer, both are WinXP. I am aware of how to share a printer on the network, but that requires the master computer to be on to allow sharing. I was hoping to plug the USB cable from the printer into a gadget, that then connected to a network hub and shared the printer to all. Thanks. |

| 619879 | 2007-12-10 20:10:00 | I just purchased one of these (au.asus.com) seems to work well. Cost me less then $90 from QMB (www.qmb.co.nz) and doubles as a Wireless Router. | stormdragon (6013) | ||
