Install the Printer Driver and Cable the Printer
Some USB printer manufacturers (for example, HP and Lexmark) request that you do not
connect the USB cable until the installation software prompts you to do so.

On each computer on your network that shares the USB printer, install the driver
software for the USB printer.
If the printer driver is not installed, contact the printer manufacturer.

Use a USB printer cable to connect the USB printer to USB port on the modem router.
