  • USB mem to printer

    From vjp2.at@at.BioStrategist.dot.dot.co@21:1/5 to All on Sun Feb 25 13:54:28 2024
    I have a printer with a USB cable connection but not "print from USB" (mem
    fob) option. Is there a way to print from USB? Is there some cheap device which would allow it?

    So then it does NOT include a USB-A connector?

    Your only choice is a PC (incl SBC such as a rpi) that you can plug your USB-stick into.

    *+-Telling us what the printer is could help people to help you, maybe?

    Canon Pixma

    But that's not the point.
    Some printers have a "print from USB" option.
    Essentially there is a computer which read your USB fob and prints.
    Can this be added?

    Raspberry Pi, laptop, tablet, etc. that has a USB port for your USB
    Stick.
