All you’ll need for this is a Rasberry Pi with Raspbian installed, Wi-Fi, and a USB printer. Once you get the Raspberry pi set up, you’ll install some software, set up the print server, the connect your printer to the Pi. It might take a little while to get everything set up, but it’s a pretty easy project overall. Head over to PiMyLifeUp for the full guide.
