Product: HP-Probook-450-G7
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have connected HP Laserjet 1020 (NOT a wi-fi printer) to the USB hub of my router (BT Smart Hub 2) and which the router acknowledges is connected. How do I access this printer from my PC (wireless connected to router) i.e. in settings in W10? Searching for it doesn't work.

Hi,

This is something to check with your router / print server provider, any print server is provided with a different interface and setting options.

 

Also, keep in mind that most print servers does not support connecting an Host-Based printer, which is a more limited printing language, the Laserjet 1020 is an Host-Based printer, I wouldn't be surprise (and even assume) that the printer server does not support Host-Based printers, please check this with your router service provider.
