I'm having all sorts of trouble trying to get my printer to work connected to my RT-AC68P router. The router is hardwired to my computer, the printer is connected to the USB port on the router. I went through the ASUS EZ print utility setup. The router configuration page shows my printer is enabled, but I can't print to it--not even a test page.
My printer is an older HP LaserJet 1320. All the appropriate drivers are installed. The printer properties show it is connected to the DOT4_001 port. The printer periodically prints out a random page with a short row of smiley faces on the top of the page. Another computer wirelessly connected to my network was able to install the printer, but no test page printed when we asked it to.
Does it matter which USB port the printer is connected to on the router? I have it on the USB 2.0 port. A hard drive is on the USB 3 port. I've rebooted the computer and turned the printer off and then back on.
ASUS does not have very good documentation on troubleshooting this issue. They have fairly complete instructions, but the installation did not look exactly like their instructions.
I've searched on this forum and could not find the information I need.
Thank you again!
