I don't know if this is the right place to ask these questions. If not
perhaps some one could point me in the right direction
I have four laptops running ubuntu 14.04. connected to my wireless
network. The router has four ethernet ports.
I have four periperals which I wish to make available on the wireless
network.
1. Samsung CPL-320n - This connects directly to one of the ports on my
router and can be used by all four laptops.
2. Brother HL2130 laser printer. This only has a usb port.
3 Epsom XP-100 printer/scanner. Only has usb port
4 Epson 3490 photo scanner. This only has a usb port.
I need the printer function of the xp100 and the HL2130 available on the
wireless network.
I have been give two netgear PS121-V2 print servers.
I have no information on them. Googling gives me the distinct impression
that they are windows devices. I have connected one to an ethernet port
but the laptops do not see it. Do I need drivers for these devices? Can
they be used with linux machines?
Thanks for any advice or help.
