Networking a non-wireless printer WITHOUT keeping my PC on?
Hey all!
I was looking for some help with networking an old-school, non-wireless printer that I have. Previously, it was connected to my old Apple Airport (it had a single USB port specifically to network printers and other devices) and was networked through that. I am currently using a Google Wifi mesh setup, which does not have that capability. So, I thought I would network it another way, and I've gotten a lot of suggestions to do it through my PC. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out a way to have it work with my PC in sleep mode, let alone totally off.
Is there a way to network my old printer through my PC without having to keep it on 24/7? Or better yet, is there an easy way to do this without a PC at all? My setup has an ethernet hub with one free port, if that helps. Neither my router nor my modem have a USB port
Thank you all!
