Hey there, some time ago a certain genius going by the name of 1lann made a program allowing you to print wirelessly.

http://www.computerc...eless-printing/

I set up everything correctly, I connected to the printer but when I try to actually print things I get this error: "rednet: 43: No open sides"

If this is a bug in the program because of a new update or something can someone explain me how to fix it?


Thanks for your time

Either something is disabling your rednet while the program is running, or you broke the modem after starting the program. Is the modem still glowing red when you get this error?

Idk what to tell you man, looks like it should work from what i can tell. Try running the following code

rednet.open"right"
rednet.send(17, textutils.serialize(
  {"callFunction","write","test"}
)

How are you trying to print things? If via a script, what's the code in that?

As you can see from the pictures, he's using edit to print.

Hrm. Can't see anything in there that should interfere.

Starting the printer client software, running edit, checking the modem light, exiting edit, checking the modem light again, re-running edit, then finally attempting to print. What do you notice about the light, and what are the results?

I randomly managed to make it work by putting a second modem on the top :P/>
