Hi - my first post here!
I have a HP Photosmart C6180 connected to a wireless router (via ethernet cable) which all works fine but I have a basic USB printer (also HP) which I am keen to use for drafts/quick prints.
I investigated the use of usb-ethernet adapters but turns out that I would need a print server to make this work. I do not have a print server and do not have the option of a computer.
Then I recalled reading somewhere that C6180 has a built-in print server... and an USB port.... does this mean that I can connect the USB printer to the C6180 printer? I realise this is a far-fetched idea but you never know...!
I am getting conflicting reports when googling hence this post.
Many thanks in advance.
