Router as print server

Tutek · 2022-01-19T18:40:24.444Z

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.
