Connect USB printer to bt smart hub

[Tom gent]

I'm trying to connect my wired hp photosmart b109a to BT smart hub to enable wireless printing. Can this be done?

Thank you

Yeah, if you have a usb port on the router, then if the printer's connected via that, it should show up on the network, so that devices on the same network can access it.

Alternatively if the printer has a network port, you should be able to connect it via a network cable to one of the network ports on the router

Sadly the router can't see the printer on the USB port, but can see a USB hdd!
No Ethernet port on the printer.
