HP Printer USB not recognized

Hi, I've gone through tons of manuals and help files and I cannot get my printer to show on the network.  Here's the details:

 

  • I've connected my HP PSC 1315 printer via USB 2.0 Cable (supported by printer and apparently this router) to the USB Port on my router
  • The USB light never lights up on the router when printer is connected
  • I am on a Mac, latest OSX 10.11
  • I installed the printer driver on my mac
  • I installed the Genie software
  • I browsed to my router url and cannot see the USB printer (or any devices) in "Advanced > USB Settings".  
  • I tested the printer before hand with the USB cable directly to my mac and it worked fine, I can print.  
  • I can see the printer in the genie app, but only when it was connected directly to my computer via USB.  Once I connect the USB back to the router, printer shows offline.
  • I tested the USB port on the router with a regular USB storage device and it worked fine and I COULD see that in the router USB settings -- so we know the USB port works.

So what could I be missing here?  any help is much appreciated!  Thank you!

Hello @xzab711 

 

Welcome to the community!

 

As of this writing, El Capitan is not compatible yet to work with ReadyShare Print. 

You may try to use Bonjour to print.
