Interesting idea. I have several Pi's sitting idle. _____ From: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org] On Behalf Of Ryan Coleman Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2018 8:34 PM To: TCLUG Mailing List Subject: Re: [tclug-list] OT? Android printer problem w/ HP 4050 Precisely the best solution. $40 gets you a Pi3 with a case and an SD card. - Ryan On Mar 24, 2018, at 8:29 PM, Harry Penner <hpenner at gmail.com> wrote: Just put a raspberry pi running CUPS in front of it. That gives you a fairly easy way to support Google cloud printing, iOS printing, etc on your old bulletproof tank. That's how my LaserJet 4+ is set up. :) On Sat, Mar 24, 2018, 17:13 Chuck Cole <cncole at earthlink.net> wrote: My point is only that it ain't broke, and I have no need to replace it. Have a setup success that indicates it will work if called another model. Mine, on standby, only draws a few watts, like a night light, wakes quickly on a print request, prints, and goes back to sleep in standby mode. Not an energy hog for me, since I don't print often. _____ From: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org] On Behalf Of Ryan Coleman Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2018 3:03 PM To: TCLUG Mailing List Subject: Re: [tclug-list] OT? Android printer problem w/ HP 4050 And. you're point is? It's tech that existed 5 years before smartphones were even an idea. They are great 600dpi printers. I love them. They're energy hogs but not nearly as much as the LJIII I support at work. We have three of those. - Ryan On Mar 24, 2018, at 3:32 PM, Chuck Cole <cncole at earthlink.net> wrote: Reply: FYI The HP LaserJet 4050 series printers were made May-99 Nov-01. It's reliable, fast enough, enough memory, great B&W images, and it's economical to feed and house. Was cheap to buy coming off lease years ago. Seems to install on my cell phone as a newer family model that was made from Dec 2002 until discontinued in June 2005 but I haven't tested that yet... Will later today. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
