Chromebook – how to make use of the printer attached to my FRITZ!Box via USB cable
- https://en.avm.de/service/knowledge-base/dok/FRITZ-Box-7590/12_Setting-up-a-printer-as-a-network-printer-via-USB-cable/ – has a section “Linux and other operating systems“
- https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/7225252
How to set up the connection on the Chromebook:
Print and scan > Printers > Add Printers to your profile > Add printer:
Add a printer manually > Name: MAKER via fritz.box, Address: fritz.box:9100, Protocol: AppSocket (TCP/IP), URI: socket://fritz.box:9100 – Add! (in former times AVM told us to look for “HP JetDirect”.)
Advanced printer configuration > Manufacturer: …, Model: … – Add!
If the model you are searching for does not get shown yet, attach the printer directly via USB and set it up on the Chromebook. Via PnP the model and its (PPD) driver should be there and known now. Afterwards you can make use of this driver for reaching it through the network as well. You can also try go get the PPD file for your printer on the Internet. (It appears to me, the Chromebook expects a .ppd.gz .)

Certainly: IDN is crazy – it certainly is crazy to allow Unicode in domain names – but is falling back to ASCII an option? I personally restrict myself to ASCII, if it comes to file names.

URL decoding
URL decoding is the inverse process of URL encoding. It is used to parse query strings or path parameters passed in URLs. It is also used to decode HTML form parameters that are submitted with application/x-www-form-urlencoded MIME format
URLs, as you might know, can only contain a limited set of characters from the US-ASCII character set. These characters include Alphabets (A-Z a-z), Digits (0-9), hyphen (-), underscore (_), tilde (~), and dot (.). Any character outside this allowed set is encoded using URL encoding or Percent encoding.
This is why, it becomes necessary to decode query strings or path parameters passed in URLs to get the actual values.
You can have URLs with umlauts and other characters not listed above shown in your browser – but if you copy that URL to a text area, it gets “URL encoded” – that’s usually not, what I like to have in that text area, e.g. my text editor. Far to often I fixed those URL encoded strings manually – but recently I came across the tool listed above, and I quite like it for this purpose.
