Anybody knows how to solve this? Something with an ipkg update ???
I can not get a piece of paper out of my printer... I went over the tutorial twice but no succes.
I have a HP laserjet 1020, and Win7 running on my laptop. Is there a way I can test the communication between router and printer? I have all the settings in the firmware set as default, exept the settings mentioned in the steps in the opening post.
Adding the printer on 192.168.0.1 port 9100 was no problem, but it just doesn't work. Do I need a specific printer driver? When I connect directly to USB on my laptop there is no problem printing...
Wow that is a popular series of printer... Read this entire thread, someone has already posted an issue with that series and what you need to do to fix it.
My printer (Hp1020) is working, but I have to manually execute the
cat /jffs/sihp1020.dl > /dev/usb/lp0
every time.
At startup the following script runs:
Code:
/jffs/usr/sbin/p910nd -b -f /dev/usb/lp0 0
/bin/mkdir -m 755 -p /dev/usb
/bin/mknod -m 660 /dev/usb/lp0 c 180 0
/jffs/watchprinter
with the watchprinter file looking like this:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# Printer monitoring script
while sleep 60
do
isdaemon=`ps | grep -v grep | grep -c p9100`
if [ $isdaemon == 0 ]; then
# No daemon running
# Start daemon if printer is attached
if [ -e /dev/usb/lp0 ]; then
/opt/bin/p910nd -b -f /dev/usb/lp0 0
sleep 1
cat /jffs/sihp1020.dl > /dev/usb/lp0
fi
else
if [ ! -e /dev/usb/lp0 ]; then
# No Printer attached but daemon running
# Kill daemon
process=`pidof p9100d`
kill $process
fi
fi
done
It looks like the watchprinter script is not executed given this error:
sh: eval: line 4: /jffs/watchprinter: not found

Eventually, I have managed to install the DD-WRT firmware and to install the Printer Sharing. For the moment, I have been able to create the node in the /dev file system, to load the firmware, to start the daemon and to print a test page from 2 computers. Now I have to automate the task and to make the router autodetect the printer.

I am back with some problems. The printer only works one in a while. The main problem is sending the sihp1018.dl file to the printer. I get many times this message:

in next release (or build) nothing needs to be done anymore here, the p910nd daemon is included and will start if printer support is enabled. i just tested this with my HP printer.
the p910nd daemon will be available in most usb supporting devices (not just wrt160nl). _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking? Sounds like a Mac to me.." - Louis Rossmann https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL_5YDRWqGE&t=60s
Could you, please, tell me if your printer works with a volatile firmware like HP LJ1018 does?
Could you give me any clue about the kernel version of the future release?
Is it possible to flash directly the final dd-wrt firmware image (not the transitory one) with U-Boot via the TFTP protocol? I would like the short answer.
How can I make the LEDs show correctly the wireless status? Now, the wireless blue LED is flashing continuously and the one above the central button is always amber.
I thought I had it working, but I only had it working on the PC (WIN XP) connected with a netwrok cable to the router. On my Laptop (WIN 7) I can only print the first half of the first page and than the printer stops and the query gives an error. There is nothing I can doe then besides totally remove the printer... Does someone have a solutions for this (and for my question about scannng??)
Any progress? I got exactly the same problem on my Win7 notebook...
edit:I also noticed that the spool service in Windows crashes when this happens (it's working at 100% all the time)

so new firmware contains the printer detection. Awesome!!
But how does one copy volatile firmware to a printer such as HP Laserjet 1018 or 1020.
I have the firmware file saved as /jffs/sihp1018.dl
Whenever the printer goes off it requires a firmware reload. I can manually copy it using the command cat /jffs/sihp1020.dl > /dev/usb/lp0, but i still do not understand how to do this automatically on connect and disconnect, or power on and off, using this newer firmware with USB printing already installed.

I meant
cat /jffs/sihp1018.dl > /dev/usb/lp0
not
cat /jffs/sihp1020.dl > /dev/usb/lp0
got everything working on this router... except the copying of the firmware file to the printer.
