Pfsense as USB print server.

Is it possible to plug in my brother HL2030 USB laser printer in my Pfsense and let the firewall act like a printserver?

If you can hack the FreeBSD under pfSense to do it: yes

If not: no

Then I dont.

Maybe this could be a good thing to add in packages.

There's a few (dozen) threads around on a similar theme - the whole point of pfSense is to be a firewall/gateway, not a general purpose server. There are plenty of solutions out there for general purpose servers ;)
