Network Protocols Supported By the
VGA Printer device
The VGA Printer device supports most network printers that use
the following protocols:
• AppSocket/HP JetDirect
• Internet printing protocol (ipp or http)
• line printer daemon (LPD or LPR)
Printer discovery is currently accomplished using the SNMP
protocol; however, future versions of CUPS will also include
support for multicast DNS service discovery as well.
See the CUPS document
Using Network Printers for more
information about network printing including a table of common
device URIs.
Note: The VGA Printer device does not support printing to
Windows network shared printers.
AppSocket/HP JetDirect
The AppSocket protocol (sometimes also called the JetDirect
protocol, because of its origins with the HP JetDirect network
interfaces) is the simplest, fastest, and generally the most reliable
network protocol used for printers. AppSocket printing normally
happens over port 9100 and uses socket URIs:
socket://ip-address-or-hostname
socket://ip-address-or-hostname?waiteof=false
socket://ip-address-or-hostname:port-number
socket://ip-address-or-hostname:port-number?waiteof=false
Examples:
socket://192.168.20.34
socket://MyPrinter?waiteof=false
socket://192.168.34.56:9100
socket://10.10.10.23:9100?waiteof=false
