[Dorset] Printing from TP-Link VR400v1 router
Hi All Just tried to set up a new router for printing to my HP LJ1022 printer as the Print Server was trashed while we were away (power surge we think). Details are: New TP-Link AC1200 VR400v1 router (phone line) via Talktalk ISP - internet connects OK via Ethernet to laptop. Printer HP LJ1022 connected to USB port on rear of router (appears no communication between units). Shows as connected on the TP network diagram as a HP LJ102 (think full description too long so truncated). TP manual says to download a printing utility but only available for MS or MAC. No info re Linux. Not found any useful info on web. Any suggestions please as to what to do, or cli inputs to get further info. (not good with cli tho!). Printer has been used via the desktop PC but meant that had to be on to show printer on network. -- *Clive A Wills* /Supporting Linux Mint & Open Source/ -- Next meeting at BEC: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2019-02-05 20:00 Check if you're replying to the list or the author Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk

If this happens to you, then open the HPLIP Device Manager and click on the '+' icon to setup a new device. Click 'Show Advanced Options', then check 'Manual Discovery'. Fill in the entry box that becomes active, either with the IP Address of your printer, or it's network name (which has also never worked for me). You should then be able to complete the wizard and the printer will then appear in the left-hand pane of the Device Manager. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting at BEC: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2019-02-05 20:00 Check if you're replying to the list or the author Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk

Printer has been used via the desktop PC but meant that had to be on to show printer on network. I have always believed that those USB ports on the router to be for either A) USB 4G Broadband dongle or 4G modem a as secondary\backup broadband connection or B) as a USB memory stick or disk drive to act as a NAS. Don't think I have seen one used for printers. My new Linksys has a USB port and the manual only talks about hooking a printer upto the router via Wi-Fi not over USB. Just looked at the manual for your router and it makes know mention of USB - Printer connectivity. Only option might be a USB printer server either Wi-Fi or Ethernet Tim H -- Next meeting at BEC: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2019-02-05 20:00 Check if you're replying to the list or the author Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk

I Gave up at that point.

You could see what `open ports' the router has when accessed from the LAN, i.e. what services it is offering. `ip r' will show its IP address from your machine as the `default via...'. Here, where there is no peripherals connected to the ADSL router, I use nmap(1) with its defaults. $ sudo nmap 192.168.1.1 ... Host is up (0.0017s latency).

What's your say?
