  • Enable AirPrint support for a non-AirPrint printer using CUPS

    My lady bought a Brother HL-1210W monochrome laser printer yesterday. It’s simple and just works. We have several Apple devices but it doesn’t support AirPrint. Because this model of printer is released eailer (2014) than AirPrint (2017). *sigh*

    Although I can install an app on each device to handle printing, I would prefer not to.

    Anyway, I also have Synology NAS. So I ask AI about how to use it as an AirPrinter relay. There is a repository for this: znetworkx/synology-airprint. 

    “Of course, things aren’t as simple as an idiot imagines…”

    I need to download the printer driver packages, install them, and configure CUPS by following instructions on download page.

    Finally. Done.

  • Site is back

    This site was down for a week. Finally I have some energy to fix it. This is caused by a plugin ‘WP fail2ban’ after checking the site error log.

    Forgot to backup when I was leaving. Luckily there are backup for keys. Since moving to Windows 11 as main platform, trying WSL – Debian as a simple development environment.
