Turn USB Printer to WiFi Printer for $15 | Convert Any USB Printer Wireless

[@rob_zomb]

This video didn't age well :( Raspberry Pi shortage makes this a very expensive solution today. Still a very clever solution!

[@amoltambe7666]

Thank you. This Tutorial worked perfectly with Canon Pixma MG 2500 and Raspberry Pi4 B. Only extra step is to login to pi desktop and install the printer manually via nice and easy UI setup. Once done, you can see Canon is listed as maker in the dropdown list in Samba setup for Cups printing.

Glad it helped

Thanks for video. can I set up this for my printer HP LaserJet MFP M1005 ? And please tell, how fast this system to start print once command given, I mean is there any delay for start printing after print command or will printer start immediatelly start printing ? Asking this because I installed this printer on Synology NAS , but when I start printing printer takes long time to start printing. I'm on windows 10 and will move to 11 in next future.

[@ravis1ngh]

It works similarly to any wireless printer. Similar delays as you will experience in a wireless printer. It starts printing almost immediately as soon as you send the print command. This is faster than your SynologyNAS. You can also use Raspberry Pi Zero 2W for the project. And yes, the printer is supported

​@@ravis1nghfirst time i printed with my phone it worked but again after reboot it doesn't search the printer but can see on my computer not on phone

Hello, need help, the printer 0:03 has been added but does not print, shows filter failed Pi zero w, hp p1108 printer Also cups printing app not available for Android 14

[@user-bo2vu4wh6f]

At 8:32 you added your Canon printer, where did you get your "drivers" from as mine does not show Canon printers at all??

[@ravis1ngh]

They are in the drop down list

[@Shubham_1994]

I have successfully made my printer wireless on windows 7 but on windows 10 when I add printer its driver automatically set to Microsoft IPP Class Driver which doesn't allow me to print also how can I use scanner wirelessly too which is available on the same printer ? Is it possible or not ? My printer model is HP Laserjet M1136 MFP all in one printer.

[@Sarthak631]

Which app to use in iphones for printing wirelessly?

[@ravis1ngh]

Works by default. Make sure ypu on same network

[@Sarthak631]

Alright! One more question, do we need to keep the Raspberry Pi on all the time? What happens if we disconnect it from power? Do we need to set everything up again?

[@ravis1ngh]

No, start it and use it. You need to set it up once. Also, install SANS to use the scanner if your printer supported.

[@Sarthak631]

That is great! Can you tell me more about SANS? I have an all-in-one printer.

[@ravis1ngh]

I am coming up with a video, will update.

[@francho26]

Is any way to do this with an old android phone? Connecting the printer in the OTC?

[@amarnathbiswal5824]

Can I add any other USB device into the raspberry pi 3 like mouse, keyboard, usb sound systems, etc ?

[@ravis1ngh]

Yes.

[@janakagrawal4261]

Rasberry pi zero not available on Amazon rest all cost ranging from 4k to 11k. From Where should I buy it ?

[@ravis1ngh]

Get a Pi 4 and build it. Also, use it for the Plex media server or as a local cloud. It's worth investing.

[@hobbytech6260]

Sir,I got error msg after type sudo cupsctl --remote-any (cupsctl:unable to connect to server:Bad file descriptor) how to ressolve it? I think this is the reason not printing any thing with my printer.

If you need to have it connected laptop then it's 15 plus cost of a laptop.

No connection to the laptop is required, bro. One-time setup!

Thanks

[@yinghu1130]

I don't think you can buy a Raspberry Pi with only $15.

[@ravis1ngh]

RPi Zero

[@janconstantine]

Nice.
