Option 2: can your printer connect via ethernet to your router? (mine does) this avoids the need for either a print server or having the desktop pc switched on. |
Thank you for the link. Not sure about the Ethernet-printer issue. Assuming I can connect it, how does it work? Would I need to get rid of the USB cable? Do I need to do something to the router? Apologies for sounding clueless.
