unmenu.awk: Version 1.3 Revision: 171 Joe L.... with modifications as suggested by bjp999 and many others Yes. Printer Port: usblp0 Bi-Directional Mode: Yes Install optional "rc" script: No I left out the "rc" script because I wanted to keep it simple. Once everything is working I might change this if I see a need to. Yep, I thought that's what that was showing. At least I got one thing right. root 2019 1 0 Dec13 ? 00:00:00 /boot/packages/p910nd-0.93/p9100 d -f /dev/usblp0 -b root 2735 2723 0 10:34 pts/1 00:00:00 grep p910 I managed to get it to print a test page but then it froze up. Maybe it is a windows issue I am having. I'll try it from another PC as well. OK, tried it on another computer. Notepad and word documents seem to print OK, even though I get an error message saying "The document failed to print" then the page prints.......Weird...... The printer still seems to lockup every now and then though, usually seems to be when trying to print web pages. Either turning the printer off then on again or rebooting unraid seems to free it up again, but isn't really a solution I'm happy with. I think I'll have to look more into the port 9100 network protocol (JetDirect) as I think that may be where the fault lies. Ps. I only just put 2 and 2 together and realised you are the man to thank for unmenu. Well done, very nice piece of work. Makes things much easier for noobs.

Cool, got that bit sorted. Worked this out too. I'll get there eventually.

OK, firstly I think I need to do a tutorial in forum posting so I can insert replies inside a relevant quote. But I digress. Yeh, the formatting was OK when I downloaded the syslog I had uploaded but when I downloaded it from unmenu it was all messed up. No worries, that's only a minor issue. I used unmenu to install it but it didn't add anything to the /boot/config/go file so I added them manually, following Dase's instructions. strings /boot/packages/p910nd-0.93/p910nd |grep subsys /var/lock/subsys/p910%cd ls -ld /var/log/subsys drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 13 21:38 /var/log/subsys/ ls -ld /var/lock/subsys drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 dec 13 21:38 /var/lock/subsys/ ls -l /var/lock/subsys total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 13 21:38 p9100d ls -l /dev/usblp* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Dec 13 21:57 /dev/usblp0 -> usb/lp0 Don't mind the time difference, I forgot to turn the printer on Ps. is there any way to copy/paste from a telnet session? Pps. In case you haven't worked it out, I'm fairly new to all this stuff. lmao.

OK, this looked good so I thought I would setup a print server. Only I am having trouble with it. I think I am following the instructions properly. I added mkdir /var/lock/subsys /boot/packages/p910nd-0.93/p910nd -f /dev/usblp0 -b to my /boot/config/go file but in my syslog I am getting this error line Dec 13 13:42:14 Tower p9100d[1468]: /var/lock/subsys/p9100d: No such file or directory even though I have also added the directory manually and when I check there actually is a /var/lock/subsys/p9100d file on the boot flash. Where do I go from here? The printer is a Canon Lasershot LBP-1120. I have attached a syslog but for some reason the formatting is all messed up. The first time I got the syslog through unmenu it was all good and each datestamp started on a new line. Since then it just puts a period at the end of each line instead of a carriage return. Any advice on this would also be greatley appreciated. Also, how can I check that the printer is recognised and is in fact attached at usblp0? Thanks in advance for any help. syslog-2010-12-131.txt
