Hello
I have:
1. Printer Samsung ML-1866
2. WiFi router TP-Link Archer C7 V2 3.15.3 Build 180114 Rel.39265n
3. iMac M1 MacOS Sequoia 15.0.1

Is there any way to connect printer to router through USB and print docs from my Mac wirelessly?

According to its user guide Archer C7 v2 should support USB printing feature. Here's how to configure.

Thanks. I have already seen this manual. But it didn't work, because USB_Printer_Controller_Utility_Mac is not compatible with MacOS Sequoia.

Since most of the recent printer models have a Wi-Fi connectivity, the focus on USB Printer Controller Utility has been shifted away.

From what I observe, that's the reason recent router models don't support this feature and it's highly unlikely this would change in the future.
