Install the Printer Driver and Cable the Printer
Some USB printer manufacturers (for example, HP and Lexmark) request that you do not connect the USB
cable until the installation software prompts you to do so.
To install the driver and cable the printer:
1.
On each computer on your network that shares the USB printer, install the driver software for the USB
printer.
If you cannot locate the printer driver, contact the printer manufacturer.
2.
Use a USB printer cable to connect the USB printer to a modem router USB port.
