Hi,  
I’m looking for a device that will work as wifi print server and will recognize HP LaserJet USB printer (1018). Does GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2 will be OK for that, or maybe is there something cheaper?

Thanks.

GL-MT300N-V2 is pretty cheap already, but I don’t know if anyone has tested it as a wifi print server.

You can search the forum there are some post about this. But they are using AR750 or AR750s
