Title: LSL V2 - Anyone got two printers working?
Post by: say170 on January 17, 2009, 05:10:57 PM
   

Hi folks/support,

 

I want to connect to printers to my LSL V2.  Is this possible?  Has anyone got it working?  I have an old router to which I can connect 8 printers via hub, and knowing the ls runs unix, it ought to be possible, but I'm getting nowhere.

 

Cheers

You can connect a USB printer to the Linkstation to have it act as a print server. You need to have the printer drivers installed on each computer you want to print from.

   Yes, I can connect a USB printer and have it working, but I want to connect 'two' printers.  I have a laser printer and and inkjet printer.

The Linkstation only supports one printer. Sorry this took so long.

   Please can you put this forward as a suggestion for a future firmware.  It should be simple to support more than one.  After all, I've seen ways of using 8 USB drives on a LS.

   Thanks.  I have managed to get it working, albeit via a backdoor method.  By editing /etc/printcap and adding the second (lp1) port, cp -a /mnt/disk1/spool/lp to lp1, and then setting up a standard tcp/ip port in xp.  I couldn't get it to work via a samba share.
