In this presentation I would explain how to use Printer sharing
Feature of Thomson Modems. If you are using any Thomson
Modem which has USB Master port and the Modem also
Implements 'printersharing' feature then this presentation
Would help you to share the printer connected to USB Master
Port of the modem, amongst the users connected to LAN and
WLAN interface of the Modem. Modem examples are TG782
TG784, TG787 and TG797n
