24 minutes ago, johnny45 said:i recently got this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002O0KOV4?psc=1 for my Canon Pixma MG3620 so i could use on my network for both pc's
which is all wired but no luck i dont know if it was just a dead part as i
tried on some other devices an still no joy or maybe its not the right kind of part for this task if
thats the case which kind of adapter should i get my budget for said part is no more then 60$
my network gear layout is as followed
router - FIREWALLA GOLD (in router mode)
5-port giga-switchconfig is the giga-switch , nas an printer are direct to the FWG an the pc's an assorted lan devices like both nvidia shields are on the 5-port giga-switch
You can do as @manikyath suggested or check to see if your NAS has print server support, Im pretty sure my QNAP nas does. You may also use a single board computer like a Raspberry pi as a print server if you have one laying around. Looking up that printer suggests it has WiFi printing but Im guess much like the Cannon printer we have the wireless sucks.
