WNDR3700 V2 wont Print

Post by travanx »

I was running Arokh Openwrt firmware on my WNDR3700 V2 and wanted to try out Gargoyle. So I downloaded Gargoyle 1.5.9 sysupgrade and got everything working. I now try to setup my printer and I can't get the Samsung 2510 Laser printer to print.

The router says
Samsung ML-2510 Series is connected via USB.

You can connect to your printer on IP 192.168.2.1 via HP JetDirect protocol.
Under printer properties I have the IP address the same IP as the router and selected HP Jetdirect when I initially setup the printer port. Protocol is RAW and Port Number is 9100. Is there something that I can do to check what's going on?

I initially had some trouble getting a ML-2165W to work while plugged into the USB of my WNDR3800. I'm running Linux Mint 14 instead of Windows or MacOXS. Here's the solution:

Go to http://localhost:631 (the cups web admin interface)
add a new AppPort / JetDirect printer, choose the right driver, use this for the address:

socket://address-of-your-gargoyle:9100

That's it.Works perfectly now.

I should mention that I was trying to get this to work with a Windows 7 x64 and Mac OS machine. I decided to just buy a wireless laser printer since I don't have any more patience to fiddle with this feature.

At least I am liking this over one of the custom openwrt firmwares I was using previously.

/etc/config file on p910nd, if you've upgraded, it must be adjusted manually.

config p910nd
option device /dev/usb/lp0
option port 0
option bidirectional 1
option enabled 0
