This has got to be one of the least documented features on these Thomson ADSL/GPON routers. In theory, it should be possible to share each and every USB printer by connecting it to one of the free ports on the device.

The Thomson configuration is bloody simple:

{Administrator}=>:printersharing LPD queue add name myQueue type Raw default yes
{Administrator}=>:printersharing LPD config state enabled

If everything’s OK, the following command should give the following output:

{Administrator}=>:printersharing LPD list
LPD printserver service:
      enable: 1

At this point, it should be possible to add a network printer on the client OS, pointing to the 192.168.1.253 IP address, LPD protocol and to the “myQueue” queue. Regarding the printer driver, YMMV. Generic PCL drivers often work quite well.
