OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!
Update: It is now unofficially possible using NTGR images to update legacy hardware to os6.X See Post #3, for directions to install 6.2.1 on x86 Ultra and Pro Models. (ARM NOT SUPPORTED by this OS) ...
mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.
Hi SUper-Poussin
Actually it works. Just a shame it is not supported in the interface. This is what I did:
apt-get update
apt-get install cups libcups2
cupsctl --remote-admin
/etc/init.d/cups restart
web log to http://localhost(or your IP there):631
Use login/password for root (NOT admin)
Add printer
My lexmark e232 was not there but I found a PPD with Google that works
Enable Web sharing and sharing
Test print -->>OK
then go to windows computer add printer with full http link . USe correct windows driver.
Test printing from computer OK
Now the surprise is that AIRPRINT WORKED. out of the box.
From Ipad ios 7, select Airprint , the printer is shown then print then it goes out of the printer.
YOUPI !!!!!!!!
