p910nd
Description for the UCI configuration file /etc/config/p910nd.
For installations instructions and more see: p910nd.server. You can run more than one printer at the same time by adding additional sections.
The default configuration is (list all configured printers):
uci show p910nd
Configuration
Description of the options in the p910nd config file /etc/config/p910nd:
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
enabled | boolean | 0 | 1: Enable the printer; 0: Disable the printer |
device | device path | /dev/usb/lp0 | The device your printer is connected to (e.g. /dev/usb/lp0, /dev/printers/0 for LPT under Linux 2.4; /dev/lp0 for USB under Linux 2.6) |
port | number (0-9) | 0 | The p910nd listening TCP port (9100 + port) |
bidirectional | boolean | 1 | 1: Turn on bidirectional copying; 0: Turn off bidirectional copying |
bind | IP address | unknown | The IP address to listen on (typically the same as LAN) |

Example
# Add a printer uci -q delete p910nd.prn1 uci set p910nd.prn1=p910nd uci set p910nd.prn1.device=/dev/usb/lp1 uci set p910nd.prn1.port=1 uci set p910nd.prn1.bidirectional=1 uci set p910nd.prn1.enabled=1 uci commit p910nd /etc/init.d/p910nd restart # Delete the printer prn1 uci delete p910nd.prn1 uci commit p910nd /etc/init.d/p910nd restart
- Under Linux 2.4, the device name for the printer would be of the form /dev/usb/lpn, where n is usually 0 for the first printer.
- Under Linux 2.6, the device name for the printing would be of the form /dev/lpn
