[OPI ONE] Printer on USB OTG

[phantomkid]

Hello,

 

Is possible to connect my printer to the USB OTG with an adapter ? The printer (HP PSC1215) is pretty old and doesn't have an ethernet port, so I would like to share it over network with my OPI One. The native usb port is used already. I was thinking to buy an adapter USB OTG to USB and to connect the printer here. I'm asking here because I'm not very sure how does OTG works.

 

I'm running ARMBIAN Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 3.4.113-sun8i.

 

Thanks !

On all H3 boards except OPi Lite, Zero and NanoPi Air Armbian configures the USB OTG port as host port. A printer connected with an adapter should just work.

... but it may be better to use a USB hub on the "normal" USB port since OTG host mode is not perfect and with some devices it doesn't work perfectly.
