Hi,

Based on your dmesg, this is wrong.

Wolle · January 28, 2024, 1:56pm

Hi frollic,
What can i do?

Thank`s
Wolle

frollic · January 28, 2024, 2:11pm

what's the actual device name under /dev ?

WildCarrot · January 28, 2024, 2:24pm

I use p910nd with success to drive my old HP printer.

My config rule in firewall is as follows:

config rule
   option src 'lan'
   list proto 'tcp'
   option dest_port '9100'
   option family 'ipv4'
   option target 'ACCEPT'
   option name 'Allow PRINTER'

But I've almost the same dmesg:

30.303816] usblp 1-1:1.1: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 2 if 1 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pid 0x9311
[   30.312886] usbcore: registered new interface driver usblp
[122542.239607] usb 1-1: USB disconnect, device number 2

What do you mean with "no response"?

Wolle · January 28, 2024, 2:38pm

Hi WildCarrot,

"no response" means , can`t install the printer from Windows.

Thank`s
Wolle

frollic · January 28, 2024, 2:39pm

install how ?

seen https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/print_server/p910nd.server#windows_clients ?

WildCarrot · January 28, 2024, 2:47pm

Did you follow what @frollic is pointing out? I did and it worked with Win 10 as well...
Did you try "my" config rule? I don't know if it matters, but I think it is worth trying...

Wolle · January 28, 2024, 2:55pm

Hi frollic,

Windows clients
Windows 7

    Click on the Start button and select Devices and Printers.
    Click on “Add a printer.”

Windows do not find any printer, but if i take the Windows usb direkt (without OpenWrt) then I`ve got the printer.

Thank`s
Wolle

frollic · January 28, 2024, 2:58pm

and it won't, that's normal, AFAIK.

Wolle · January 28, 2024, 3:18pm

Hi frollic,

/dev/usb/lp0

Why it`s wrong?
What must i change?

Thank`s
Wolle

frollic · January 28, 2024, 3:19pm

then it's correct.

systemcrash · January 28, 2024, 3:44pm

Everything is correct. You could try my hotplug script improvements.

But one question remains: whether or not you must load a printer blob (driver) from openwrt to /dev/usb/lp0. I suspect that you need to load a blob. In which case, enjoy my hotplug script - but you must provide the correct blob.

This is what other platforms do to 'ready' the printer for usage.

Having inspected the driver, it's difficult to say but looks like you have a 'driverless' printer?

Try netcat (nc) to see whether you can connect to the shared port 9100.

Wolle · January 28, 2024, 4:34pm

Hi systemcrash,
I`ll try your script, my answer later.

Thank`s
Wolle

Wolle · February 1, 2024, 4:43pm

Hi systemcrash,

root@OpenWrt:~# nc -z -v 192.168.200.8 9100
192.168.200.8 [192.168.200.8] 9100 open

It's working, thank you very match.
