Using a USB wireless adapter for a network printer
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I have a Brother 4050 CDN colour laser printer (old - 2009!) which I have always used up to now with a direct link to one of my PCs. It does have a network capability through an Ethernet link; it also has a USB socket. Can I use the USB socked to plug in a USB wireless adapter to connect to the wifi router?, in order to connect to a couple of other PCs and laptops?. Does anyone have experience of doing something like this, and would a standard TP-Link wireless adapter such as the TL-WN821 work in this role?
