Printer problems on RT-N16

[fsmik]

Hi,

Have just installed a new rt-n16 with 1.9.2.7-rtn-r1704 and I do have one problem. Print to the HP Deskjet 990Cxi USB printer does not work.

The router can identify the printer:

usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2
ehci_hcd 0000:00:04.1: USB 0.0 started, EHCI 1.00, driver 10 Dec 2004

the printer daemons are running:

ps | egrep "lpd|p9100d"
288 admin 844 S lpd
290 admin 736 S p9100d -f /dev/lp0 0

and my pc's have been configured to use port 515, LPR and LPRServer.

The same setting on the pc side did work fine on my old wl500gp.

Somebody who can help ?

Hi, under ubuntu I had to use printing to a socket instead of printing to a lp queu. Recipe: on each linux box I browse to the Cups frontend at 127.0.0.1:631 and than add a printer through the menu. I use the socket to print to with the IP address of the router without stating a port or a queu name.
