While I haven't done this before with a Pi, It shouldn't be any different than any other *nix system.
May 22, 2017 Network printer with LPR port on Asus router I have windows 10 home on a home network connected to an ASUS AC3200 router. The router has provisions for connecting a printer to it for sharing printer jobs. In order to do this, the printer port has to be set as an LPR port. The problem is that the laptop now wont stay awake if left idle and wont. Installing the Windows Components. 1) Click the Windows button, then type “control panel”. 2) Click Control Panel to open it. 3) Click “Programs” 4) Click “Turn Windows Features on or off” 5) Expand Print and Document Services, make sure LPD Print Service and LPR Port Monitor are both checked. If they are not click both boxes to do so. How to setup LPR on Windows 8. Ask Question Asked 6 years, 10 months ago. Active 6 years, 10 months ago. Viewed 7k times 2. I have a Netgear WGPS606 print server. How can I install that printer on my Windows 8 system? I have enabled the Windows LRP feature. However; when I try to add a printer it only searches locally.
Where are other Windows 10 features, how to activate it? Some programs and features included with Windows 10, such as Internet-Explorer and some Services, must be turned on before you can use on Windows-10. Click Custom Settings LPR. Under LPR Settings, enter a Queue Name. The queue name can be any set of numbers or letters. Click OK Next. Select a driver from the list, and click Next. Click Next until you are asked if you want to print a test page. To confirm that the printer was successfully added, send a test page to your printer.
You don't need the full cups install since all your PI will be doing is moving a print job from the network port to the usb port. What you need to install is the lpd (cups-lpd) service. You still need to mount that printer onto your computer then share the printer via lpd. You can use the lpq, lpr commands to ensure you have it shared well. Then on your windows computer you will create a new tcp port and point it towards your Pi. If it can't determine what you use you may need to select lpd/lpr protocol. I can say this will be a good learning exercise. While it does work and work well, I might think you could find other uses for your Pi.
BUT, once you get it working with your Pi, I would recommend is that you jspend the $40 USD and pick up a usb print server it will be worth the spend. http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/144769/TP-LINK-TL-PS310U-Single-USB20/?cm_mmc=PLA-_-Google-_-P...
