[FEATURE REQUEST] Allow naming of printer on network

[alan412]

Printer type
MINI

Describe the expected functionality
I use DHCP for the Prusa mini. It would be great if I could give it a name such that I could tell prusa slicer to connect to .local and then I wouldn't have to update the IP address when something caused the device to get a different address.

Hello! Thank you for your request, I passed this on to our devs for them to further review and possibly implement, in case of more info on this from our side we'll update on this thread.

Also need this feature. This is really important when there is more than one printer in the network.

[Prusa-Support]

This is theoretically already possible but only when flashing the "core" Prusa Link image on Raspberry Pi Zero W or Raspberry Pi 3/4.

Setting a static IP is possible too but that is mostly a matter of router settings.

Moreover, the new option to set Prusa Connect as the Host Type in Prusa Slicer will let the user connect a printer without relying on the IP or the use of additional boards - as soon as Prusa MINI will be enabled on Prusa Connect (coming soon).

Can this issue be closed?

I don't use Prusa Connect as it is on a closed network. I would rather be able to assign a name and have it work with bonjour (sorry, I forget the generic term for this) so that I could connect to it by name.

This issue has been flagged as stale because it has been open for 60 days with no activity. The issue will be closed in 7 days unless someone removes the "stale" label or adds a comment.

[alan412]

I would still like this feature as I use it on a closed network.

Hi @alan412 seems like you are actually requesting mdns support which should be already implemented as indicated in #3809

[alan412]

It does work now. I would recommend it be put into release notes.

[alan412]

Technically this should be closed as done in #3809 instead
