Hello.

Have been trying to search the forum, but can't find any information on how or if its possible to connect a printer to a PCH and sharing it over the local wireless to laptops in the house?

Have a A110 and win 7

This seems like a very common problem and there is probably a thread about it?

This is not a common problem. The PCH is a media player, not a print server!

If your printer has a network connection then you should connect it directly to your wireless router, otherwise connect it to your Win7 PC and share it over the network from there.

partly true if you do want to make your pch a print server someone did compile CUPS for the pch. But as its a user app you wont find much help here so if your not sure how to set it up you are better of using your pc

Hmm ok

I guess i have to settle for less.

Somehow i have a feeling it should be very easy... There are no problems accessing a shared drive on a different laptop. Why is accessing a printer on popcorn so much worse?

Anyway thanks for good advise.

Found a few threads searching for CUPS... One of the threads talked about a remote USB port? Is this possible? To me it sounds like an "easy" solution?

like i said it will not be an easy solution. Its not plug and play

Because it's a media player and not a print server.

It's a small device that is designed to play media at the hardware level. It does this very well.

A powerful device, like a desktop or laptop can do this type of thing via software because they have the processing power.

People have to realize that because a device has computing abilities, that does not make A = B = C.

Your hospitable EKG machine has a processor, memory, network connection, video display and even a USB connection. Would you try to make it a media player or even a print server?
