Printing with NetGear FR114P printserver
Has anyone been able to print with a printer connected to the NetGear FR114P
router/print server? I'm Running Suse 9.0 but would appreciate any ideas used in other distros. NetGear says this thing support Linux also but the give no clues, whereas for windoze the give pages of examples :Pengy: |
Hi,
I have the same router. To use my server printer i use a program to admin CUPS : http://localhost:631 and i add this printer : Device URI: lpd://192.168.0.1/ |
I'm using the same Router and with SuSE-9.0 it worked fine. I configured the printer via yast as an lpd printer.
Alas with Slackware-9.1 I wasn't successful so long. I tried to configure the printer via cups (lpd://192.168.0.1/<queue-name>) and with KDE Control Center/Peripherals/Printer (also as lpd://192.168.0.1/<queue-name>). Installing works, but when I try to print a test page, there come the message "Test page successfully sent to printer <queue name>" but nothing happens. To configure the printer I must add a queue name. Is there a build in default queue name for the FR114P which must be used? With SuSE I could select any name for the printer queue. Has anybody ideas? |
Solution:
I installed the printer locally with KDE Control Center/Peripherals/Printer as a paralell printer (lp0). Then I edited /etc/cups/printers.conf like below: DeviceURI parallel:/dev/lp0 to DeviceURI lpd://192.168.0.1/fr114p After restarting cups (/etc/rc.d/rc.cups) the printer was working.:cool: |
