How to setup a print server on tomato;
I assume the following.
You have a Wifi Router with a USB port.You have installed a Tomato USB build.You have the driver files on your PCYou have connected Printer USB to Router USB port.
Limitations
You cannot print from tablets; it’s a technical limitation.You cannot scan, the software required is vaporwareNetwork printing from Mac or Linux is possible but I don’t have both to test.
I can’t find a list of working printers for tomato, if you have one that works PM me the model.
