DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

Well i found a plugin for fun_plug in the download section but i had some problems getting it working, would someone who got it working give a helping hand?

Kind regards

JD.

I've just cross compile and test a version of lprng. I can't assure it works for you but for me it's ok.
Take the tarball http://dns323.kood.org/downloads/people … 28.tar.bz2 , untar it in /mnt/HD_a2. Append /mnt/HD_a2/local/sbin/fun_plug-printer to your fun_plug and it would work ...
you can launch the fun_plug-printer script by hand.
now your dsm-g600 is a lpd print server.

to use with XP

for osX and Win98

If somebody success in configuring samba to print i would be happy but for the moment you can use lprng

I have successfully installed cupsys and foomatic combination in chroot Debian etch installation.

Since this is my first endeavor, I will try to explain my steps here, in an effort to help others (hopefully). First a little warning, I always wanted to use full Debian system on this box. Having quiet PowerPC box with huge disk was a major win for me. If you are looking for more light-weight solution, this might not be for you.

First, I updated my DSM with latest sala firmware. This fixed problems with Firefox and web interface which doesn't work (so I actually had to flash from Linux using wine and IE6). Then I installed Debian in chroot jail, following more-or-less instructions on wiki.

I noticed that sala's kernel doesn't include usbfs which is unfortunate, because lsusb is very useful for gathering info about devices. With that in mind, I downloaded firmware building kit. After a bit of tweaking (how to report changes about that back to svn?) I managed to fix gdb up to point where it compiles so I got firmware image.

But, I really wanted first to try printing. Printer is Samsung ML-2510 gdi printer, that basically means that this little powerpc box will have to run ghostscript to make RIP for printer too. However, after connecting I noticed that kernel comes without usb printing support. No swet, I already had cross-build environment ready, so after a short download of kernel, some options tweaking (and making usbdevfs compile) I had printer.o usb module. One rsync and modprobe, and I had working USB printer.

I had to change cupsys default access rules which allow only localhost users to connect to cups web interface and after a few clicks ("Share published printers connected to this system" in cups seems to do the trick) printer appeared on my laptop. And on other one :-)

In part, I was amazed how well this worked. foomatic already had definition for my USB printer, CUPS found usb device automatically and printer appeared on other cups instances without a hitch.

Usb printer module might be helpful to other so I have it along with few of my notes at http://saturn.ffzg.hr/rot13/index.cgi?dsm_g600

Basicly you don't need RIP fonction to use it as print server, the RIP is done by the clients MAC OSx Windows etc. You only use the raw printer on most case so you can keep some room for other useful fonctionalities.
