Re: [Phpprintipp] Printing to Epson SX440W network printer

[Thomas Harding]

HI,

I got a real manual, but for Epson Wireless Print servers (French 
version is epson29850eu.pdf)

I guess they don't redo the whole code from device to device, so

=> if IP@ not known, I'm unable to find "print status fold" on your 
panel, but I remain you have MAC address sowewhere on panel menu.
 Just do an arping on or, as root, assign it an address on your machine 
(arp -s)

=>  (I assume printer IP is 192.168.1.127)

    * open a (javascript capable, as a debug trace shown from a private 
post) web browser
    * disable proxy if enabled
    * type "http://192.168.1.127"; in address bar
    * you have several menus, comprised TCP/IP settings (dhcp, fixed 
address): set up a fixed address inside your network, set up mask 
accordingly. If you want to print from internet, I strongly suggest dhcp 
(DNS settings...). Just check for the MAC address in /one of/ printers 
menu, then fix IP and TCP/631 redirection dhcp lease on your ADSL box. 
Regarding printer setup, you can also setup from DHCP only for DNS 
and/or hostname, and if you have a modern ADSL box you can also check 
uPnp :)
    * don't forget password setup
    * /Apply/, wait for "config done" message
    * reset (switch off/on) printer
    * browse new address, if not working then arping again
    * you have IPP parameters, choose that in menu
    * check for "IPP URL", and "printer name"
      => I assume they are (below) for IPP URL and EPSON_IPP_PRINTER 
for printer name


    * type "http://192.168.1.127:631/EPSON_IPP_Printer"; in address bar
    * check the whole screens

    * IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO FIND PATHS, then use (I assume printer 
name is) "/EPSON_IPP_PRINTER" for the four ones

require_once(PrintIPP.php);

$ipp = new PrintIPP();

$ipp->setHost("192.168.1.127");

$ipp->paths = array (
     "root" => "/EPSON_IPP_PRINTER",
     "admin" => "/EPSON_IPP_PRINTER",
     "printers" => "/EPSON_IPP_PRINTER",
     "jobs" => "/EPSON_IPP_PRINTER");

$ipp->setPrinterURI("http://192.168.1.127:631/EPSON_IPP_Printer";);

$ipp->setData("./testfiles/test-utf8.txt"); // Path to file.

$ipp->printJob();

for setPrinterURI, parameter might also be
"ipp://162.168.1.127/EPSON_IPP_PRINTER"


*** notes ***
 * As said before, for local prints, the simple "lpr, spooler TCP/515" 
protocol would do the trick :)
 * If you have for CUPS server, then just /use it/, CUPS setups for 
printers works generally fine :)
 * If not, you can either search for CUPS settings on Internet fo your 
printer ;)


HTH,
