Wl-500G and HP Laserjet 1022 (Oleg vs DD-WRT)

[nickie2007]

Hi everyone,

I'm running dd-wrt firmware on my wl500g but I'm considering using Oleg's firmaware since the dd-wrt seems not to support my HP LJ1022. As far as I can see there seems to be a workaround to make the printer usable using Oleg's firmware. My question is the following (I'm not very proficient in programming or anything like that):

- Does anyone knows if the latest Oleg's firmware support the 1022 out of the box, ie, just install the firmware plug the printer and were good to go? By reading this thread it seems that I should use a USB stick to load the firmware (how to do it is something a can't understand), and I can't understand how this is done (I'm an IT expert). I've seen in the printers compatibility page (http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=58&page=8)that some people were able to configure and use this printer using the Oleg's 1.9.2.7-7b firmware, but there is no information if this required any programming.

- for those that have tried DD-WRT, do you think Oleg's firmware is better? My main concern is security (firewall and wireless access).

All the best,

not really needed in the case if you have router with 8Mb flash chip. The printer's firmware can be stored in it.

it is not programming. However, some effort is needed to be done.

In case it works, could you print even on osx and linux?
