| 1401485 | 2015-05-28 05:02:00 | static.telecom.co.nz Have a read of that - page 29 and onwards. Definitely doable. Do you need the scanning functionality? I believe you would lose this having the printer shared from the modem. |

| 1401487 | 2015-05-28 05:14:00 | You just plug the USB cable from the printer into the mode, the follow the instructions in the link I provided. :) | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1401488 | 2015-05-28 05:36:00 | You just plug the USB cable from the printer into the mode, the follow the instructions in the link I provided. :) There is no USB outlet on the printer. The printer cable has the usual connector for that end & a USB connector into the PC. I would prefer not to have to turn on the PC to get at the printer. Does that make sense? PJ |

| 1401489 | 2015-05-28 05:41:00 | Yes there is. You must have it plugged into your computer via USB currently. This from Epson's site... INTERFACES CONNECTIVITY USB — Compatible with the USB 2.0 Specification (cable included) |
