Hi. I have just signed up with EE. I have an HP Color LaserJet printer connected to my Smart Hub 3A. I wish to print from my desktop computer connected to the Hub via WiFi. How do I turn on USB Printing Sharing on my Hub?

@pds24  Why not just connect the printer to the WiFi ?  
  What model HP laser jet is it ?  

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

The printer is getting a little old, but still works well, but doesn't support Wi-Fi printing. The model is the HP Color LaserJet CP1515n.

@pds24   there is no facility on the newer EE Hubs to use the USB port for anything, other than charging.

That said Smart Hub 3A is not something from the list of EE Hubs, do you mean the Smart Hub plus?

@pds24 : I do not recognise a "Smart Hub 3A". Is it an EE or BT router? Which router do you have (read label or post a pix)?

@pds24 Does also say that model is network ready and has an ethernet port on it, worth a look to see if so.
