HP Deskjet 1510: Connect USB Printer to WiFi Network for Wireless Printing

Question

I have an HP Deskjet 1510 USB printer. Is it possible to work in a wifi network?

Yes, if connected to a print server. The easiest way to do this is with a computer. I also saw a project of a print server based on raspberry pi and maybe there are also dedicated devices for it.

No some wifi module? there are factory printers with wifi but I didn't buy it then I thought I don't need it.

If you want to support wifi printing then a usb router with print server function is enough. I own an ASUS rt1200g and it works very well.

Can I also connect an external hdd to such a router to work as a network drive? 2.5 "of course.

That's exactly what I have, but only one usb. With the help of the hub, you can connect more devices. So you can share files via Upnp (apparently, for example on a smart TV) or via Sambe (such a Linux file server visible, for example, in Windows in the network environment). that you can find a much cheaper router with usb. I was looking for a gigabit net and fast wifi.

A usb 500mA?

Maybe there is more, the disk is working normally. If you plan to connect the HDD, it should not exceed these 500mA.

I have a request where the "print server" appears in this case, having a different Router with USB (I'm "green" here) and I would like to use a cheaper Router.

Most USB routers allow it, I would not like to advise any specific models because there are quite a lot of it, and here is an example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve-D-wp013k
