Hi There, Can anyone help me setup my usb printer on my ReadyNAS 102? I can not seem to find how to do this. It is a Brother HL-5040 and is on the. Sahih Bukhari Hadith Urdu Mp3 on this page.

Just gonna bump this thread. Been trying to make this work too. So far, I've succesfully installed CUPS inside the jail. I can access the webinterface, but I have no clue as to making my usb printer available to the jail.

Been reading a lot of guides ( most of them are talking about making edits to the '/etc/devfs.rules', that be inside the jail and on the host system. But everytime I try and do that, it just gets reverted into default. The guide I've had the most succes with is:, but that really doesn't help me when it comes to the whole 'writeprotection' of freenas. If anyone could help, that would be much appreciated.

I was wondering if anyone has any further idea on how to get USB printing working from the jail. I'm using an HP Deskjet F4180, and have installed cups and hplip. I can access the web interface, and can choose to add the printer (shows up as 'USB Printer #1' and 'USB Printer #1 (no reset)'. The first is listed as at usb:/dev/ulpt0, and the second is at usb:/dev/unlpt0. I can add a printer at either location, going through and selecting HP Deskjet as the model, and it allows me to add the printers. When I try to print though, I get an error that says 'Unable to open device file: Permission denied'. Following a tip I found on another site, I can chmod 666 both /dev/ulpt0 and /dev/unlpt0, which allows me to submit the jobs (until the next time I reconnect the printer).

When printing a test page (either from the web interface, or from my laptop), the log reports that the job completes, but nothing ever happens with the printer, unfortunately. I'm a little stuck here, and don't know what the next step would be to try to debug this. Are there any other log files that would give me more info? Does anyone have any suggestions? Here's my dmesg grep ugen (in the jail).
