Is it possible to use the ethernet port of a laptop to feed a printer while the laptop is connected to the Internet via a usb-tethered verizon/netgear airpack 791L?Network manager appears unable to find the printer.
In theory, it should be. You may need:* A "cross-over" cable. If you're not using an ethernet switch between the two devices, then a cross-over cable will avoid both devices talking on the same pins. * A DHCP server on the laptop. The easiest method is to configure both the printer and the laptop's ethernet port with static IP addresses (192.168.5.1 and 192.168.5.2 should work (192.168.X.Y is a private range and 192.168.5.Y probably won't be used by, say, the internet connect)).
