I have the same problem, with my new model C3700 (N600) CABLE MODEM/ROUTER.
I downloaded and installed the READYSHARE Control Center, but it does not see my USB printer.

Does ANYBODY have a working printer, on my model mdem/router?

Hello Easy Rider
According to the product sheet and the manual this device only has the basic readyshare feature of hooking up a usb drive to the modem to share files does not have the Readyshare printer functions.

That's funny, because, on Pg. 33 of the User Manual, it says:
"The USB port on the modem router can be used only to connect USB storage devices like flash drives or hard drives, or a printer."
Somebody should update the manual!
