p910nd - for print server

[bozo29]

Hi,

May i ask you if you can, or if it is possible to put "p910nd - a printer daemon from optware" in a future build of fvdw-sl, so we could use Lacie NS 2 as a print server?
I installed p910nd from PuTTY, but i don't know how can i start it. :roll:

My commands on PuTTY:
root@LACIE: ipkg update
then
root@LACIE: ipkg install p910nd
And worked, i received a message that p910nd was installed.
I checked and it is in /opt/bin.

It is possible for you to put this printer daemon in a future build and activate it at startup?
I do not know if he has any connection with your work, but for example p910nd is integrated TomatoUSB firmware http://tomatousb.org/.
I gave example TomatoUSB because he is also built on Vanilla.

Thank you in advance.
Anyway, with or without print server, you did a great job with this firmware.

Bozo

I will look at this , I downloaded the latest version of p910nd and compiled it without a problem, its a simple program with no dependencies, no need to use optware which is not always reliable in using. I avoid using it as much as possible as also the binaries could contain some malware.
Need to look how it has to be installed. In any case it will need a kernel module to enable support for printers on the usb port. Thats no problem I prepared the(2.6.39.4) kernel already for it and have the module available. Without this module the daemon can not communicate with the printer. The module must have been build for the kernel running on the box

Do you have some experience with Linux and can do a trial for us to see if this can be made working ? if so I will post some files and instructions to do a test

[bozo29]

Thank you very much for yours effort.
I have a little experience with linux, but if you give me instructions i'll be happy to test anything.
The tests will be run on PuTTY on Lacie NSP2 ? I put this questions because i'm a windows 7(64bits) user, i don't have a linux installed on my laptop.
To install fvdw-sl I used RIPLinux (a Slackware-based CD) http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=rip.
And another problem; I do not know if I have time before the weekend, but I can test all you want in week-end.

[fvdw]

yes the install can be made using putty

You must have 11-0 running with the 2.6.39.4 kernel

p910nd.zip

In the attachment you find two files:

p910nd (this is the daemon)
usblp.ko (this is the kernel module to enable printer support on usb port)

Put both in the share with name "public" on the nwsp2 (assume you have this share)
This can be done using windows explorer.

Now access the Nwsp2 with putty.
At the command line give following commands:

install kernel module

Code: Select all

cp /share/1000/public/usblp.ko /lib/modules/2.6.39.4/
chmod 755 /lib/modules/2.6.39.4/usblp.ko
busybox depmod
modprobe usblp


now the module should be loaded check it with command

Code: Select all

lsmod

the list you get should mention the module usblp and that it is "live", this is the output on my system

Code: Select all

# lsmod
usblp 9896 0 - Live 0xbf023000


Next, install the daemon

Code: Select all

cp /share/1000/public/p910nd /usr/sbin/
chmod 755 /usr/sbin/p910nd


create a directory that the daemon needs to run, if you don't make this one it won't start

Code: Select all

mkdir /var/lock
mkdir/var/lock/subsys


Now connect your usb printer and see if it is detected
You can use commands like "lsusb" and "dmesg" (without quotes) to see if the printer is detected by the nwsp.
If so then the daemon should also be able to detect it
You can start it by simply giving the command (see internet for more options you can use to start p910nd)

Code: Select all

p910nd


to see if it is in memory and running give the command

Code: Select all

ps -ef

the list that you get should have a line like this

Code: Select all

root      5292     1  0 22:25 ?        00:00:00 p9100d

Now you can try if the daemon can talk with your printer
Note: I have no experience with it so don't know if it will work now or not, but I think you should be ok now, but maybe a driver is needed if your printer is not supported by usblp.

ps the directory that you created will be deleted at boot and also the kernel module will not be loaded by default during boot. So you will need to repeat that. To avoid it we need to change the boot script. But that is of later concern.
Also be aware that this folder is created on the relative small system partition. I don't know what the daemon will put in there and if it will be big files or not. If they are big then the partition might run out of space. But there is a solution for that as well

success and let us know if it works ;)

[bozo29]

I read what you wrote and does not seem complicated.
As soon as I have time I will test (maybe sooner than the weekend).
However, immediately after the test I have to announce the result.

Now I go to sleep, but are eager to do the test.

Talk soon

[bozo29]

O.K. I did everything you said and here's the result:

In PuTTY everything seems to be fine. There was no error message and p910nd is on.
However if I try to print something nothing happens, no print.
In Windows I made printer configuration in the same way that I did for TomatoUSB: http://tomatousb.org/tut:configure-printer-in-windows
I have an Asus RT-N16 router that has 2 USB ports and the printer is connected to one of them.
Printer connected to the router it works.

Here's what I did in PuTTY:

If you have any idea tell me what to do.

[fvdw]

well the NAS has detected your printer

Code: Select all

usb 1-1: new high speed USB device number 2 using orion-ehci
usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=03f0, idProduct=5617
usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
usb 1-1: Product: HP LaserJet M1120 MFP
usb 1-1: Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard
usb 1-1: SerialNumber: MF30J63

and also assigned a device driver

Code: Select all

usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 2 if 1 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pid 0x5617
usbcore: registered new interface driver usblp

as it is an usb printer I guess you need to start p910nd with the -f option and specifying which device to use
(dev used by the daeomon will be when not specified /dev/lp0 which is normally a device connected to a paralel printer port which we don't have)
So try something like this

Code: Select all

p910nd -f /dev/usblp0

look in the /dev directory to see what name is used for usblp0, it could also be /dev/usb/lp0
(in the "Tomato" output you can see that they also used the -f option
see also for instance here http://members.shaw.ca/nicholas.fong/pr ... 910nd.html

or do a google search on p910nd how to that might give you some more clues, sorry that i can't help you better but I don't have a usb printer myself

[bozo29]

It works! I did what you said and it works.
The syntax is "p910nd -f /dev/usb/lp0"
To avoid any problem I stopped first "p9100d", then I restarted "p910nd"

I printed a few pages for test it, then I rebooted the NAS and I repeated the installation procedure from the beginning.
That's just to make sure that I get the same result.
The result was that it works. :D

I did a mini tutorial in pictures, how to set the printer in windows 7 to work.
There are 13 pictures in PNG format and I can give you to put them on the forum if you want. Just tell me how to send them to you.
If you make the decision to integrate "p910nd" in a future release of fvdw-sl.

I do not want to be insistent, but you think you can integrate "p910nd" in a future release of fvdw-sl and to make it start automatically when start the NAS?

Whatever decision you make I thank you anyway for the effort and work done for this firmware.

[fvdw]

thats good news bozo :D

yes we can include this in the next release and let it start automatically if the user wishes that. A option will be added to one of the menu to enable it at boot. This because for user that don't use it is only waste of memory.

I have on request, can you check if the feature to switch from front to back port usb still works when the usblp module is loaded. If not then more work necessary to integrate it.

The files and guide you can post right here, put them in a zip archive and attach tmen to your post. We will transfer them then to the download section with the frmware and how to guides.

thanks for helping to add another nice feature to the firmware :ugeek:

[bozo29]

And news from you are also good.
Yes, i can do that, perhaps tomorow (if i have time :? ).
But i have some question for you, because i don't used this function of NSP2 until now (because i don't need). My NSP2 is mounted in a holder on the wall. 8-)

To be able to use NSP2 in "device mode" I need to create a disk image file first. Correct?
When i create this disk image, it is possible to loose some information that i have on disk?

It is not a problem, but i wish to know that.

When I connect the laptop to the back port usb of NSP2, is necessary to disconnect the NSP2 from the network, or two connections can operating simultaneously?

And last question: After I test it and delete the image created on HDD, everything on HDD returns to its original shape?

I will attach to the next post the files in a zip archive.

Back with news soon
