Trying to connect a printer to D6400 usb from linux machine

Hi,

is it possible to share a laser printer (Brother HL L2300D) with 6400 router from linux machines?

 

Thanks

Hello ferrvittorio

 

On page 183 you will find the setup on how to share the printer on your network.

Hi Darren

Thank you for your answer

 

I realized my question was actually incomplete, is it possible to print without any windows machine turned on in the network?

Can netgear router act as a pure CUPS server ( http://netgear-address:631/printers/PRINTER)

 

I do not have any windows machine in my sub network

 

If not, I can find different  solutions

 

Thanks again

Hello ferrvittorio 

 

I do not believe so because you would need the usb control center software that is for windows unless you can get that to run on your linux system.
