Hi guys,does the USB printing with ReadySHARE Printer utility is supported on this router model? I tried to install it but my printer is not listed in the Netgear USB Control Center. I assume it is not supported but I wanted to confirm that, because official ReadySHARE Printer manual doesn't give any hint regarding compatible models.

Yes. if it doesn't mention any USB printer support, that would not be there to work with. I would look up some USB printer server devices that could work for you.

I would check the user manual to see if any such feature appears:

Or check the modems web page for any USB Printing features...

  In the datasheet page I see only lines
  READYSHARE® USB ACCESS—Wirelessly access & share USB hard drive via the USB port
  the same is in manual, chapter 5 only mentions about connecting USB drive to the router, nothing else.
  
  Should I imply that this model does not support printers? Lack of mentions = lack of support? It would be nice to have a clear list of supported devices, not implications.
