    Is it possible to connect a printer for networking through the Technicolor TG582n please?

    I have got a flash drive to work - just wondered if I could setup a standard printer through the usb on this modem please and access it from all networked computers connected via this modem please?

    You can share a printer so all print jobs will print via the pc connected.

    On the installed printer right click "share".

    You'll need the ip address of the machine (start - run - type 'cmd' - press ok - type 'ipconfig' - press enter).

    On another pc (on the network) go to start - run - type \\ followed by the ip address of the pc with the printer attached. A window should open up with the printer listed. Right click and connect and you can print from that pc to that printer.

    I would think that the usb on your router if fro 3G dongle backup, You could use a USB Print Server to achieve what you want to do.
