I have a SBC Yahoo Wireless 2Wire Gateway Router at work with 4 PC's connected via ethernet, but I was noticing the router has a USB port, what is this for? Is it possible for me to have a network printer thru this?

The usb port is designed for configuration access. However, it's a standard usb interface. There's no reason you couldn't plug a usp printer into the port and then share it on the network. You'd have to configure the printer correctly, though. Easiest to plug the printer into a computer, give it a tcp/ip printer port address and get it all configured, then plug it in to the router.

yes the port is for any printer that is connected by a usb port and it is acsessable by any computer on the network.
