    HI all, so after searching for my problem i realised it would be better to ask you:

    I have a D-link 524UP wifi router and multifunctional printer (i mean scanner, copy maschine and printer all in one). So what i want to do is to connect a printer to a router via USB (router has got a usb port in back) so i can print wirelessly. I simply connected usb cable from printer to router but it didnt seem to work..

    ps: multifunctional printer is Epson stylus dx4400
