The NAS supports network printing sharing service over local network and the Internet in Windows, Mac, and Linux (Ubuntu) environments. Up to 3 USB printers are supported.

To share a USB printer by NAS, connect the printer to a USB port of the NAS. The printer will be detected automatically and the printer's information will be shown.

Bonjour printer support
