    An image is available for updating firmware (NAND content) for the OTK-110 open terminal client.
    To update you need:
    • burn the image to a microSD card (4 or 8 GB)
    • insert into OTK-110
    • turn on
    • OTK-110 will boot from the card
    • go to settings, select About \ Update firmware.
    • The microSD contents will be copied to NAND.
    • after ~ 15 minutes, the OTK-110 will turn off.
    • remove the card, turn on the device and set the necessary settings

    I had to release such a big update since redirecting the printer requires installing more than 50 packages and the necessary settings for some of them.
    Writing all this into a shell and testing is very difficult.

    Everything that can print from under CUPS should print from a terminal session.
    For the most comprehensive list of printers supported by cups, see openprinting.org/printers .

    All printers mentioned in the link above should print from a terminal session. This is of course in theory.
    Practice has so far limited to only 4 models - these 4 models print. If you are printing on other models, please let us know at support@opensourceclient.org

    How printer redirection works:

    • all printers available in CUPS (including those connected via the network, we haven’t implemented this, we don’t see the point) FreeRDP can redirect the session to the server in RDP. FreeRDP correlates the printer in session and the corresponding printer in CUPS.
    • the terminal server lays the Windows driver appropriate for the printer (the printer driver must be installed on the server) and prints as a printer connected directly to the server. The communication channel inside the rdp protocol - there is no need to configure a print server or anything else similar.

    Thus, when connected, the printer connected to the terminal client becomes the default printer for the session user.

    A little bit about sad ...

    This is probably the last article in the blog of our company on Habré.
    Many thanks to Habr for the opportunity to talk about our development - an open terminal client.
    There are many plans, there is not enough time for everything at once, but there will be new models, support for existing ones, addition of terminal access protocols.

    Monetization seems to have begun, but there’s no way to allocate the necessary amount for the content of the blog - first you need to return the investment.
