Router with Print Server

linux4sam · 01-03-2019, 09:58 AM

Hi all

I have a dlink router (Model no : DSL 2750U) with USB port which act as "PRINT SERVER" also.
I have configured my printer ( Model : HP Deskjet ink Advantage 2135) for Windows operating systems, which works fine.
(with " ipp://192.168.1.1:631/printers/hp " )

But i cannot configure the same for my LINUX Mint 17.2.

the nmap gives the following output

$nmap 192.168.1.1

Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2019-01-03 21:22 IST
Nmap scan report for wifiprint (192.168.1.1)
Host is up (0.047s latency).
Not shown: 995 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
21/tcp open ftp
22/tcp open ssh
23/tcp open telnet
80/tcp open http
631/tcp open ipp

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.62 seconds

Please help me
Thanks
SAM

What happens when you try to add this printer in Linux? Any errors?
Can you get to port 631 from your Linux machine?

Try:

Code:

telnet 192.168.1.1 631
OR
nc -v 192.168.1.1 631

Or if you don't have nc or telnet installed you can use just native bash:

Code:

HOST=192.168.1.1;PORT=631; (echo >/dev/tcp/${HOST}/${PORT}) &>/dev/null && echo "${HOST} TCP port ${PORT}  open" || echo "${HOST} TCP port ${PORT} closed"

the output are given below

$ telnet 192.168.1.1 631
Trying 192.168.1.1...

Connected to 192.168.1.1.
Escape character is '^]'.

AND

$ nc -v 192.168.1.1 631
Connection to 192.168.1.1 631 port [tcp/ipp] succeeded!

nothing happened after that....
