Wireless Printer Fastener using Raspberry Pi

Abstract

In computing, a printer is a peripheral device which makes a persistent human-readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. The wired printer have to be tethered to your computer, you cannot move it anywhere in your home or office, even up or down a floor or two. It does not have the ability to be located farther away from the computer. Technology development helps people to do their work easily and make them comfortable. The idea of Wireless Printer is using handheld device like Mobile phone through Wi-Fi we print the data. The common data printing procedure for wireless printer has to use notebook or desktop computer as a relay medium, first receiving the data from mobile and then sending it to printer using an appropriate printing method. This paper proposes a design of a device which directly prints the data stored inside the Mobile without the assistance of a notebook or desktop computer and can convert a traditional wired printer into a wireless one with minimal requirements. The design compromises Raspberry pi having Noobs as operating system. The configured Wi-Fi dongle accept file from Mobile and gives to Raspberry Pi. The Printer driver is a program to control a printer that is connected to your system. The CUPs installed on Raspberry Pi do the print job.
