I have tried to find some good examples/howto for creating a security system using a Pi. I found this webpage but it deals with an old PiB model (pre B+) and therefore also the associated software/operating system. My questions are: 1) Will the Pi2 be OK for the software discussed in the above webpa...

That problem was caused by a confusion in the Win7 Printer options dialog. One MUST use this sequence following right-click on the printer icon: Printer properties->Advanced tab->Printing Defaults->Type is: Plain. You cannot use: - Printing Preferences - Printer properties->General tab->Preferences ...

I have installed my HP Laserjet CP1215 (USB connection) as a printer on a Pi-B (regular B with 512 MB RAM) running Raspbian. It is using the CUPS printing software. The installation was discussed in this thread on this forum. The Pi also is my VPN server for external access to my home network. Print...

Hi I am back again regarding the printer server functions. The Pi works fine as my print server for the Laserjet CP1215 printer. But there is one issue that I don't know is caused by the Pi printer driver or something else, so I start asking here: The printing preferences I set in my Win7 PC does no...

Bosse_B

Finally done! I deleted the printer I had created inside the CUPS interface. Then I went through the process once more and did exactly the same as before, EXCEPT I selected the second suggested printer from this dialogue: CUPS_Add_CP1215.png And now the printer started working! So now my Pi is handl...

I am not an expert on the Pi, but I've been chasing this printer for a different reason. See this posting on the driver that is required: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/color_laserjet/hp_color_laserjet_cp1215.html that driver is for x86 systems, no use for systems based on other CPU ar...

I have now looked at the samba config file in my Pi and I found that two sections probably needed change: [printers] comment = All Printers browseable = yes <== This was set to no path = /var/spool/samba printable = yes guest ok = yes <== This was set to no read only = yes create mask = 0700 [print$...

Concerning samba:
Do I have to tell samba to share the printer?
Or is that supposed to be handled by CUPS?
If I have to configure samba, how?

Bosse_B

What I did was I selected the top printer line and installed it using the CUPS dialogs. In one step there was a checkbox for sharing the printer which I checked. All looks like it is working on the Pi, but in fact it is not, because I cannot even print a test page from the CUPS printer interface. Co...

Hi again! Now I have dug out the cable to the printer and pulled it off the Win7 PC and instead into the powered hub attached to the Pi. When I now use the CUPS web interface and click the Add Printer button I see this: CUPS_Add_CP1215.png So now I have no less than two printers, I wonder which one ...

HP Printers are just as easy as installing hplip from the Raspbian Wheezy repository... Do you mean: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install hplip If this is what you mean, will the printer then be ready to be attached via USB and then ready to print? I.e. from Windows 7 I can attach it as a netwo...

But they do not have a free service anymore...
If I am to pay, then I might as well buy a proper domain and DNS service.
Which I did.

Bosse_B

On my routers I set aside about 80 addresses for DHCP hand-out. My servers have static addresses in the low address range. And then I have the odd extra unit, which connects through WiFi or Ethernet, where the address is set static too on the unit. Of course one has to keep a separate book of these ...

Bosse_B

But then the IP address selected MUST be outside of the DHCP address range used by the router!
Otherwise there may be an address conflict on the network at a later time and the connectivity is broken....

Bosse_B

markjd, every network adapter has its own unique hardware address, the MAC address. It is globally unique, too. Whenever a router is connected to by a network adapter and asked to supply an IP address via DHCP it will note the MAC address in its database together with the IP address it supplies to t...

I could not rely on this service so I bit the bullet and bought myself a "real" domain and DNS service.
The dnsdynamic domains are still not working.
And there is no reply from their "speedy" support.
But my new domain is working and I can move on.

Bosse_B

I am using the ddclient dynamic dns update program on my Raspberry Pi. The problem is that it has stopped working (my dynamic dns, that is) and now I am suspecting that the service provider dnsdynamic.org has blocked me because of update calls being done too often. So I would like to know how to con...

Bosse_B

I wonder if there are more users here who utilize the dynamic dns service provided by dnsdynamic.org? I am using them and have three different domains all ending in dnsdynamic.com and lately they have stopped resolving. They are all updated from my different VPN server RPI:s and when I go to my acco...

Bosse_B

Thanks for the clarification! I currently have 3 Pi:s used as follows: - Pi B 256 MB: used as XMBC media player in the living room - Pi B 512 MB: used as VPN server to access my LAN when traveling - Pi B+: located as a VPN server at my daughter's home in the USA so I can access her LAN Now I was hop...

Gosh, I did not think about the SD size difference... But if I make a disk image from the current SD card and write this to a micro SD card (using the same utility I used to transfer the original setup disk image to the SD card), would it work painlessly? I just realized that the new Pi probably has...

I have a Pi B with the original 256 MB RAM. It runs Raspbmc and XBMC 13.2, self updated to the latest versions a week or so ago. Now I am considering getting a B+ to get more RAM plus the nicer features of the B+, but I don't like to have to do all the setup stuff I already did for the current unit....

Bosse_B

Well, the problem is that on the far end of the VPN tunnel my daughter needs to move the drive to other units after I upload the files to it from here. Depending on where the files are intended to go it could be a PS3, a Windows laptop or a Mac computer. So I figured that a USB connected drive would...

Bosse_B

I am running Raspbian on a Pi, which is dedicated as a VPN server and file exchange unit. For the latter I need a hard disk rather than an SDcard and I have a 500 GB 2.5" USB drive available. Currently it is formatted NTFS, but I have read about the problems Linux has writing to such drives so I am ...

I finally made it (I think): In the file system I managed to set the permissions for the mount dirs to 777 by removing the thumb drive and then issuing: # chmod 777 /media/usb0 # chmod 777 /media/usb1 # chmod 777 /media/usb2 # chmod 777 /media/usb3 # chmod 777 /media/usb4 # chmod 777 /media/usb5 # c...

Bosse_B

This is the problem. You have set the permissions on the symlink, not the mounted filesystem. Running the command 'df -h' will show all mounted filesystems on your system - this should confirm that /media/usb0 is the actual mountpoint of your usb drive. You need to tell usbmount to mount the drive ...
