Good day Forum,
I have in mind to use the esp_01 to convert my USB Epson printer into a WIFI printer .
Is this feasible ?
How to do it ?
Thanks for all .
Regards.

In short: no, it's not feasible, as the esp does not have an USB port.
I'd suggest you get a Raspberry Pi or a cheap wifi router with openwrt support.

The regular usb -> uart is for the opposite direction that you would need [ie] the usb side goes to a computer that has a driver installed...
I think I've seen a wireless to usb printer adapter on the web , a loooong while back....
