*.ps -> Windows print filter to PCL5e -> router print server -raw-> HL-5040 receives PCL5eĪ last option is to look into Samba sharing a printer. If you are using a Windows "printer driver" to filter, then select "raw" in the cups interface on the router. You can run into problems if you filter a print job twice once at the windows machine and again at the routers print sever.Īlternatively you can filter *.ps to PCL5e on the computer and have the router print server pass it "raw" to the printer. Windows *.ps -raw-> router cups filters to PCL5e -> HL-5040 receives PCL5e "Raw" does not filter, it just passes the job through. In this case, you would select the "raw" print driver in your Windows setup. If your router has the RAM, your router would need cups and ghostscript to act as a print server for raw (unfiltered job) from any computer on your network.

PCL5 (aka ljet4), PCL5e(xtended), PCL6 (aka pxlmono) are ghostscript based.

For a non-postscript capable printer, say that uses PCL5e, the *.ps file has to be filtered into PCL5e - so the printer will understand it. When a print job is requested from most applications, it is generated in Postscript: *.ps. Per the Openprinting web site, the PCL5e driver is fast and reliable but only goes to 600dpi. If your are using cups, you can download a *ppd for your particular printer at OpenPrinting p910 has a smaller footprint and is easier. There are two options for an OpenWRT print server CUPs and p910nd. Here is a list of best automatic driver software.Your router is Linux based. If you are still unable to install the printer driver, then try a automatic driver finder and updater software. Now try to install the printer with latest driver.Please make sure printer spooler service has set as automatically mode, After made started the print spooler service.find the Print Spooler service, and then click Start (if it is stopped). click on Start and then click on run and type here services.msc and press OK or hit enter.
