Hi,
I've got an Asus WL-500W router, which has 2 USB ports that we can use to share printers, hdd's and webcams.
I have a Macbook 2.2GHz with Leopard 10.5.2 and I'm finding hard to setup the usb printer sharing on my mac. First, Asus does not include any manuals of how to set it up in Mac OS X, so I don't have any document to follow. The printer is recognized by the router, and I can setup everything in my other Windows PC. But I've tried to do it in Leopard, going to System Preferences > Print & Fax > click the "+" to add a new printer.
There I've tried "HP Jetdirect - Socket" and "Line Printer Daemon - LPD", the I inserted the router IP address, and in LPD I was able to add the queue name "LPRServer" (or something like that, I don't remember now) as it is explained in the manual (but for windows). For some reason it doesn't find the proper driver for my printer. I've even tried to search manually for my printer drivers, but I can't find them. It is automatically detected if I connect it directly to my Macbook though.
Did anyone run into this issue? Do you know how to solve this?
