Nas Print Server Setup Guide

by

Use windows 2012 R2 print and install document and print services role. (Printer Server).

Synology NAS User's Guide. Based on DSM 6.1. Chapter 1: Introduction. Set up Print Server. USB or network printers connected to your Synology NAS can be shared by client computers over the local area network. AirPrint support allows you to print to the printer from an iOS device, while Google Cloud Print support.

Try and make sure you use universal drivers that support printer isolation. This helps when you have problems and need to make sure the whole server is going down when you have a problem with only one printer.

Make sure you come up with a good naming convention for your printers so that when a user is looking for a printer, it is easy for them to detect which one is theres. The way I do it is (Location) - (Dept) - (Printer Type)

Example Chicago-Sales-Color or Chicago-Purchasing-Standard

or CHI-SAL-C1 eg CHI-PURC-S1

Try and make it easy for you and them. Maybe you already have a good naming convention setup. just apply that to your printers.

I assume you have a compatible router with usb ports with the Teddy Bear mod Tomato firmware installed.

These instructions show that the USB NAS portion is quite easy. Once the hard drives are connected, they are automatically mounted in the router’s Linux OS. A computer on the same network can connect to the router’s hostname/ip via the samba protocol or ftp (if enabled).

Printserver was less obvious since I wasn’t familiar with it. Tomato uses p910nd printer daemon. By default, only 1 instance is running on Tomato on port 9100. If you plan on connecting multiple printers (eg, adding through a USB hub), then you will need to run additional instances of p910nd in the startup script of the Tomato firmware:

Continue to add 2, 3, …, if more printers are required. Reboot the router, and another instance is added to port 9101, etc. Note: the ordering is based on the proximity of the USB ports. Check the USB page on the router config site to determine the ordering.

To add a printer on a Windows machine, you will have to add it MANUALLY (auto-detect of any kind will not work). Following copied in case those links die:

HOW TO SET UP A PRINTER WITH TOMATO

  • I installed the printer the same exact way I do most USB print servers
  • GO TO ADD PRINTER
  • ADD A NETWORK PRINTER
  • SKIP AUTO DETECTION AND DO IT MANUALLY
  • ADD A PRINTER USING A TCP/IP ADDRESS…
  • DEVICE TYPE: TCP/IP DEVICE
  • HOSTNAME/IP: Your_Router_IP (ex: 192.168.1.1, mine is different), PORT NAME: let it auto-populate
  • UNCHECK the “Query the printer…”
  • Detection should fail…
  • On bottom, DEVICE TYPE click on CUSTOM, then SETTINGS
  • Leave all default ports and settings and click OKAY
  • Finish everything and print a test page.

On my Ubuntu, searching the printer on the router’s hostname/ip works. However, on all machines, you will have to select the type of printer manually.
