Hi, the list of topics seems short - also there's ref to configuring LPD documentation.

Is there any documentation somewhere else?

In particular, is there documentation for manual configuring?

I've just installed on 1+ 1 running Android 4.4.4

I can ping my Richo Aficio 1515 (non-ps) which I can print to from cups (on fedora)

The Let's Print Droid plug in to the System > Printing > Let's Print Droid dialogue just shows 'Searching for printers' continiously - there doesn't seem to be any manual printer ip input

The dialogue via Let's Print Droid > [menu] > Manage Printers provides no printers to choose from the 'Choose Printer:' drop down menu and the 'Change Printer' button under 'Action to Perform:' heading simple pops-up a dialogue box with text 'Change Printer..' in it

Am I missing something?

How do I enter a printer manually - how do I enter 192.168.0.130 ip to my printer manualy?

Thanks
Morgan.

from the LPD file browser window there is are 5 icons on Right hand side of top menu bar*
[+], [magnifying glass], [gear], [?], [menu dots]

the [+] lets you manually add a printer.

* this is on a tablet not sure how things look on a smaller screen

There are help files inside the application including an example of manual configuring and an FAQ. See the main Let's Print Droid application and choose menu->help ("?" action-bar icon) for a list of topics. Not every printer or CUPS server responds to mDNS queries. Make sure your CUPS server has the Avahi Daemon installed and running.
See link for detailed CUPS config : http://elinux.org/images/3/36/Universal_Mobile_Print_Server.pdf
