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.

- Thu Dec 10, 2015 5:26 am #36148 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.

An UART to USB device can be easyly fitted: What in this case ?
Any idea ?
Thanks
Regards,

I think I've seen a wireless to usb printer adapter on the web , a loooong while back....
