mi routers doesn't support printers which is a bad thing and thats the reason I am not using MI Routers but rather than that.. its a awesome hardware than most others available

xiaomi has its own file system for pen drives connected to the router's usb port. the files are available through the mi app. this is how it is on my router with chinese firmware. not sure if the english firmware models have it set differently.

@dextermorgan how ? is there and printer software or something provided ? and you using MI Router 3 or 3C model ? and your HP printer is wifi enabled or just a printer with usb print only..bcoz mine is HP but usb only , no wifi feature and I havent seen any interface for usb printer to be wifi enabled in Mi Router 3

NTFS/FAT/FAT32/exFAT file systems are supported thru usb port

I connected 1tb external drive to usb port and it managed to power the drive

yup. what he was saying is that this proprietary implementation block access to usb capable printers which is a shame.

but i suppose third party firmware can resolve this issue.
