Wi-Fi Printer

This project prints all SSIDs, MAC addresses, and their vendors on a thermal printer using a Wi-Fi adaptor in monitor mode.

Overview

Usage

  1. Setup a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian/Raspberry OS
  2. Connect to Internet
  3. Run install.sh-Script
  4. Wait
  5. Set up for further usage, i.e.:
  • Remove Internet connectivity (not needed anymore)
  • Connect printer and Wi-Fi adaptor
  • Include everything into nice device :)

Important

  • You might need to adapt the printer configuration in cms.py depending on the printer you use
  • You might need to change the name of the network adaptor in install.sh

Tips

For a headless install you need to

  • Enable SSH: touch <sd-card>/boot/ssh

  • Configure Wi-Fi: Create file <sd-card>/boot/wpa_supplicant.conf. This repository contains a configuration file for Freifunk.
