Can you print from an iPhone or Android using this setup?
-
@Luciano-S I don't have a github or anything. Maybe you can help set it up?
@Costas-Costas I was using a O2 but i dont see why it will not work for the rest of the series.
@James-Harding I didn't really meant it for printing from a phone. But it is a good idea. Will look into it when I have more time. Work for me this month is really pilling up.

Hey there,
thanks for the good explanation on how to run p910nd on an Omega!
I have the Omega2+, and I am trying to get my printer (Samsung ml-2850d) running with p910nd. I have a USB cable soldered directly to the Omega2 as power supply with a 3.3V voltage regulator inbetween. Then I connect the printer via USB directly to the D- and D+ pins of the Omega2 board (pin out).
The problem is, that I do not see my printer under /dev/usb/. I am not sure whether the printer needs the gnd and v+ connection from the board to be recognized or if it's not supported?Cheers
Nils

@Nils-Flaschel I am not sure as I have not done with physical wiring to the board. I am using a dock currently. Will be looking to remove the dock when I have time to figure everything out. You could try providing a 5V to V+ and ground to V-.

Hi!
When I try to
opkg install p910ndit says :
Unknown package 'p910nd'. Collected errors: * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package p910nd.Why is this like that. I would like to build a print server with my Omega 2. My Router runs DD-WRT

Hello,
i tried to get the printer server online but I always get the error: usblp module was not found while installing the kmod-usb2.
Has the kernel been changed? I thought it should have the usb printer support activated...(I'm using a Omega2 for this project)
-
Any way we can get it to work with other printers too? or maybe compile cups for the omega?

opkg install kmod-usb2 --force-depends
Hi, I tried to follow your steps but getting stuck at the installation of kmod-usb2 and kmod-usb-printer. I am using Omega2+.
The same error message:
pkg_run_script: package "kmod-usb-printer" postinst script returned status 255.
opkg_configure: kmod-usb-printer.postinst returned 255.Any suggestions?
-
/dev/usb/lp0 won't show up for me.
kmod-usb2 and kmod-usb-printer are installed
Unplugging/plugging printer cable yields:
[ 1441.830049] usb 2-1: USB disconnect, device number 4 [ 1446.755533] usb 2-1: new full-speed USB device number 5 using ohci-platformWas working until I rebooted the device. Any clues?
EDIT: OK, this was incredibly nasty, but this is how you fix it:
wget these two:
http://repo.onion.io/omega2/packages/core/kmod-usb2_4.4.46-1_mipsel_24kc.ipk http://repo.onion.io/omega2/packages/core/kmod-usb-printer_4.4.46-1_mipsel_24kc.ipkThen opkg install both of them by filename, using the --force-depends option
It seems the LEDE repo feeds, while an interesting idea, might be too much of a moving target. Even the .ipks downloaded from the links above are not an exact match for the kernel, but on my system close enough to make things work.
