Hey there,
we got a Epson xp-900 printer connected via usb to a tp-link ac1350 (Archer C59) lan/wireless router which is also our dhcp server and gateway. Printing is working well with p910nd if i configure every single windows client according to this guide. But there are some issues i would like to solve:
-
The Epson Software, included in the printer driver, isn't able to connect. So i.e. no cartridge information can be accessed. What could be the cause?
-
I tried several ZeroConf configs and guides but i wasn't sure if i am doing the right thing or if i am missing something, let alone which log lines i have to look for.
The perfect aim is: Every Client (Windows, OSX, maybe Android) should be able to see and add the printer. But not even the router itself was shown in the network. Whatamidoingwrong? -
Which is the best solution to implement ZeroConf in a mainly windows-client-based Network?
There is Avahi, Bonjour, umdns and Zeroconf/UPnP SSDP accoding to the openwrt manuals, with a different packages to install. Which way should i go? And how? What are the benefits and disadvantages of each method?
btw: Thank you a lot for maintaining openwrt, i am in love, kinda
