You need a print server, or a new router that has USB ports for printer/hard drive.

I think you're coming at this from the wrong way. He clearly needs a NAS box and a new printer with built in networking!

Sebby · Jan 27, 2009, 14:13:15

That's another option.

Steve · Jan 27, 2009, 16:10:47

Or NAS box with USB printer port

Nas stands for network attached storage. Basically its an external hard drive, a hard drives, with a wired network connection. Many of the boxes support various forms of raid.

David · Jan 31, 2009, 11:45:23

Well it arrived..........hope the speed it works at is faster than the time it took to arrive

might get the router to match

Rik · Jan 31, 2009, 11:48:21

David · Jan 31, 2009, 12:08:39
