Anyways, here is my final (working) code: There are a couple of syntax errors that I found… wish that I had read the other comment that was left by Thas Y before proceeding. After a good bit of messing around (I am not a LINUX guy), I was able to make this work for my P1006 printer, and it is pretty sweet now. Thanks for the great information on this page. Thanks to the? – without it I would never have been able to do this – most of this is also copied from there!

The printer orange led will light up, and the engine will start briefly, like when attaching the device directly to a windows PC via usb. If the procedure is correct every time the printer is connected the firmware will be sent within 5 seconds. Your mileage may vary: check the dmesg output using dmesg at the command line, and filtering with grep. The PRINTEROFF and grep arguments are based on the output of the dmesg command. The script has been adapted from the DD-WRT forum: on my system the printer is on /dev/lp0 not /dev/usb/lp0. Note that hotplug script do not seem to work with printers on this DD-WRT version, so a polling cycle like the one above is needed. #This needs to be changed to your location and firmware name If the USB memory was mounted at /tmp/mnt/sda1/ the I replaced line 14 in your script as:ģ -?Under Services/Services, activate SSHĪt this stage make sure you click > Apply Settings > You need to change the?FIRMWARE location to fit your firmware #Make sure that Printk is off on runtime - this removes the 'Time Since Startup' lines from dmesĮcho 0 > /sys/module/printk/parameters/time

Then I modified your script to send the driver firmware directly from the USB memory device to the printer. So I worked around this by putting the driver file in a small USB memory device. Some builds of dd-wrt do not have support for JFFS2 (like my TP-LINK). If your rounter does not support JFFS2 – follow the instructions below, thank you for the suggestion Thas Y There is a small firmware file to be sent to the printer every time it’s switched on and connected to the router, for this the firmware file must be kept on the router and a small script must send it every time the printer is recognized by the USB controller.? But in the case of this GDI printer the effect is that print jobs are read from the router with no error, but the printer prints nothing. With a normal printer and this DD-WRT version, this would be all that it’s needed. Under Services/USB activate every USB option Here is a guide:? USB PRINTER WORKSTATION SETUP GUIDEġ – Enter the web interface. Windows won’t detect the port by itself, at least in my case On Windows, enter the printer properties and create a new tcp/ip port using custom settings: the port address must be the router ip address, the protocol must be RAW, the port 9100. With other similar printers, like the Laserjet Laserjet 1000 / 1005 / 1018 / 1020 / P1005 / P1006 / P1007 / P1008 / P1505?it’s probably only necessary to change the firmware file. I couldn’t find the exact procedure online, so I am reporting it here, collected and amended from various sources. Here’s how – this works with this particular version of DD-WRT, with others it will most certainly need modifications. The router has a handy USB port: with DD-WRT installed (v24SP2) it is possibile to activate a handy network printer server function even with such a brain dead printer. The printer is a GDI (meaning it has no PCL or Postscript support, relying on Windows to draw text and graphics), USB only device. At home, I happen to use a Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H?router (with an external Fiber modem) and a cheap HP Laserjet printer.
