2.8.4 Printer Sharing
The Ericsson W21 automatically creates a local UNIX printer that is shared
over the LAN/WLAN using SMB/CIFS protocol. The smb service only
performs protocol conversion between SMB/CIFS and the local printer.
When a printer is connected to a USB port on the Ericsson W21,
information about the device is displayed in the “SHARED PRINTER”
section on the Sharing page. If this page is open when you connect the
printer, a refresh of the page may be required for the new information to be
displayed:
