      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

        We do what we must, because we can.

          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 ;)
