ReadyNAS 102 USB Printer setup

Did recent firmware add printer support?

While OS4 supported them for years, OS6 did not have support for printers among other things previous versions did.
Last I saw OS6 did not support printers (viewtopic.php?f=51&t=70133&p=411706&hilit=os6+printer#p411706).

As I suspected, not looking good. None of the release notes list support for printers on OS6. http://downloadcenter.netgear.com/en/product/RN10200

I think there might be a 3rd party app for this coming.

Thanks Guys - looks like your right!

hopefully there will be an app for this at least soon

I'm too trying to connect my printer to my readynas 104 ... doesn't seem to be possible : /- not even a clear answer on the web..

This is a shame, again ! a basic feature for a nas, not there on netgear product...

is there any workaround? apps?

It is not available out-of-the-box, though it might be possible to manually install a package.

Though some people want printer support, the low cost of home network printers has made this feature less interesting. Personally I use a network printer with wifi (so I can put it anywhere, and have no issues with the server being on/off).

Hello,
it took me a hell of a job, but YES you can get a printer shared on readynas RN102.
I got the EPSON SX400 running
1) install cups
2) install the printer drivers for your PRN
3) optional install google cloudprint (from step 13 http://phpbb.openmediavault.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2388)

It took a lot of effort, but it works

One reason why I'm hanging on to my DUO V1.

As a RN104 owner it would be nice to see USB printer sharing. Someone above mentioned installing cups, but how is that possible? I looked through the list of available apps but didn't see anything about printing. I saw an app that allowed low level USB port sharing but that trial expires after 10 days and it only lets 1 person access the USB port... So that's not what i need.

You need to get CUPS using apt-get install cupsd, than configure CUPS following the various guides online.
Very important to get the exact driver for your printer otherwise CUPS will not print correctly
