Hi guys,
very interesting topic since i have the same problem, but it's not clear to me what are the steps to make the system work (and yes, i know nothing about linux and the Readynas box)
So far i have:
1. Plugged the printer in to the Readynas Duo via USB. It recognizes correctly the P1005 and shows it as "shared"
2. Installed the proper drivers on the notebook (XP based) and connected to the Readynas queue
3. Installed successfully on the Readynas the add-on firmware suggested by Whocares and now it shows in the list as activated.
What are the missing steps to make it work?
I read about "adding correct folder tree for foo2zjs firmwares" (in the Smask post) but i have no idea how to do it. It's something that i should do at this point or before installing the add-on?
