Switching a USB printer to Network on your PC

This video is a dedicated tutorial of how to tell your computer that you switched your printer from being connected via USB to being connected via your network weather its by wifi or a ethernet cable. You don't need to uninstall and reinstall your printer if its already on your computer. You just go into the "Printer Properties" and under "Ports" tab add a new port using "TCP/IP" and putting in the IP address that your printer is now using, and then you apply those settings and you're good to go.
Finding the IP Address of your printer is different on almost all printers. If its not immediately visible from the home screen, try to find a way to print out a report that might be called Configuration Page, Network Configuration, NIC, Network settings, or anything along those lines. The IP address might be listed as being the "IPV4" or Port, or just IP. This will NEVER be 255.255.255.0 or any combination of 4 numbers ending in the number 1. It is not the Gateway, Subnet Mask, DNS address, or a Server. (If you're using a server this video is not for you.)
This tutorial should work for Windows 10 and Windows 11 PC's

Your printer has to have a network card before you can select between USB and a network address. If the USB printer doesn't have network circuitry (as in the case with most older printerr) then it can be shared by a host computer connected to the printer by USB and connected to the network with an Ethernet connection.

Right, this video isn't geared for printers that are that old.

How would you say the printing rendering speed is on ethernet vs usb? I have an old relic from the windows xp days because its an A3 color laser printer, that I use to print graphics. One of the issues I have with it can take up to 30 minutes for it to render the image to print with the usb

It shouldn't be a big difference. A few things you can do is go into "printer properties" then under the advanced tab there should be a box to "start printing after last page is spooled" that will make the most difference. Otherwise, if you can export the file as a JPG or PDF first, that will help to make the image easier for the printer to translate.

I have an old printer HP P1505 that I want to access via wireless. It only has a USB output; I am wondering if I can convert that USB to Ethernet and connect to a router, then the printer will be in the network. Do you know if this is possible? Does it make sense to you?
@GrantButler
@GrantButler 6 месяцев назад
There "might" be a way. You connect the printer to your PC then enter printer properties there's a sharing tab. You can try sharing it to the network from your PC. But your PC would have to always be on to print from any other device on the network.

So what if I need to connect a document scanner? For example, Epson V39 only has a USB connection. Will it work in a similar way?
@GrantButler
@GrantButler 9 месяцев назад
If the Epson hand a network port on the back, yes it should work.

Did you have to add an network switch or is it just an usb cable
@GrantButler
@GrantButler Год назад
I'm using a network switch, but you can connect directly to your router or gateway if it's close enough. But no a USB cable will not work for it to print wirelessly

Hi, I don't understand what sense there is in giving the title "Switching a USB printer to Network on your PC". If generally a configuration with a network cable or Wifi directly to a modem-router it would have no relevance that the printer is USB. Thanks
@GrantButler
@GrantButler 8 месяцев назад
If the machine was connected by USB first; this is a tutorial of what to do when you switch it to networked. Now that my printer is on the network, not just USB to my PC, I can print from any device on the network (phone, laptops, other desktops)
@AlbertoSecciani
@AlbertoSecciani 8 месяцев назад
@@GrantButler For example, when the computer is turned off, I can still print direct (Wifi) from a smartphone. It works like that too

Hello Grant. I'm trying something slightly different. Instead of connecting to the router with a network cable, I'm using a USB cable as the routeur has a free USB port. I'm following your instructions, but it is not working. In your experience, should it work? Or is there a different procedure because I'm using USB instead of RJ-45? Thanks.
@GrantButler
@GrantButler Год назад
No that won't work. The usb port on a router is for storage, not devices. Things like a flash drive full of pictures & videos

@@GrantButler Hi again Grant. I did not want to reply here but could not find an e-mail address for you. I just wanted to say that you might be wrong about the USB port thing... The routeur I am using is a D-Link DIR-645. On page 5 (actually ninth page) of the user manual it says (pointing to the USB port) : "Use this port to connect a USB 2.0 printer or a Storage Device". Manual for this routeur is still available from the D-Link website if you want to see for yourself. Not trying to be a smart ass here. Just letting information flow... Please feel free to delete this comment if you think it is out of place. As a side note, I've had no success using a USB cable OR ethernet. The printer I am using is a Laserjet P1606dn. It is kinda old and might have issues.Trouble shooting continues. Oh well...
