Hi
I was looking for a work around without having to buy a new printer or leave a desktop on all the time a tower that we rarely use anymore. We primarily use a laptop and the ipad; my cable modem has the available USB - B port. I'm curious if it would work if I hook up a USB - B male to B male to cable modem and printer if it would be available on the network or does it have to be hooked to the router?
I don't have a cable that has both ends USB - B emds and have to find one but if any networkig people out there think that it would?
