feat(devices): K200L printer driver — live cover/paper status from the J-Speed LAN board

The park-buzi printer is a K200L (Xprinter/ICS XP-K200L; its LAN board and USB
descriptor call it "POS-80"). Its board serves the Rongta's five-row status table
under /prt_status.htm — but the reply carries no HTTP status line or headers, which
node:http rejects, so the Rongta driver could never read it and the unit was filed
in July as "no status page → generic driver" (reachability only).

New `k200l` driver (printer-k200l.ts): prints through the generic ESC/POS device
(same bytes, TCP 9100 or usblp) and reads the page over a raw socket, tolerant of
both the headerless and a proper HTTP reply. Mapping mirrors the Rongta: board
unreachable → offline; page not understood → degraded, never ready; any fault →
degraded naming it; USB → reachability floor. The Rongta driver is untouched.
Tests replay the captured headerless page (devices suite 76). Live against the
lab unit: ready; with the cover open the board reports cover open, paper out,
off-line.

Wiki: new k200l-printer entity (names, network setup from factory
192.168.123.100, board quirks, status page, what it means for park-buzi — over
USB the app never saw cover/paper state at all), cross-links on the Rongta,
status-monitoring, USB-transport and WSL-networking pages (parking-net pinned to
eth1 while the LAN NIC is eth0), index.

## K200L — a second status-page board, and a fetch that node:http can't do (2026-09-09)
The park-buzi printer turned out to be a **K200L** (Xprinter/ICS XP-K200L; LAN board "J-Speed
Ethernet WebConfig 1.02", self-named "POS-80"). Its board serves the **same five decoded Yes/No
rows** as the Rongta page — under **`/prt_status.htm`**. Two things kept it invisible until now:
the Rongta driver only knew `/prn_stat.htm` (so in July the unit was filed as "no status page →
generic driver"), and the board's reply carries **no HTTP status line or headers** (HTTP/0.9
style), which `node:http` rejects outright and `curl` shows as an empty `000`. The new **`k200l`**
driver (`printer-k200l.ts`) prints through the generic ESC/POS path and reads the page over a raw
TCP socket, tolerant of both reply shapes; mapping is the Rongta one (unreachable → offline; page
not understood → degraded, never ready; any fault → degraded naming it; else ready; USB →
reachability floor). Bench-verified: cover open → amber "cover open, paper out, printer off-line".

# K200L thermal printer (Xprinter / ICS "XP-K200L") — the park-buzi unit
An 80 mm ESC/POS receipt printer, **USB + LAN**, sold under several names. Bottom label:
*"THERMAL RECEIPT PRINTER — Model: K200L — Paper Width: 80mm — Print Speed: 200mm/s — Power
Input: 24V 2.5A — Cash Drawer: 24V 1A — Interface: USB+LAN — Command Support: ESC/POS"*, serial
`BLU2107080238`. Identified on the dev bench 2026-09-09; **it is the printer that "goes offline
after a paper reload" at park-buzi** ([[printer-usb-transport]] §Field bug). The lab's older
"ICS XP-K200L" (10.0.10.11, the 2026-07 USB truncation work) is the same family.
Three names for one device, all seen on the bench:
| Where | What it calls itself |
| --- | --- |
| bottom label | K200L |
| USB descriptor (`lsusb`) | `1fc9:2016 NXP Semiconductors Printer-80` / "Printer POS-80" (0x1fc9 = the NXP controller chip; no brand) |
| LAN board web UI | "J-Speed Ethernet Interface Module", "Ethernet WebConfig Version 1.02", copyright "POS" |
The app driver is **`k200l`** ("K200L 80mm thermal printer (Xprinter / ICS, USB+LAN)",
`packages/devices/src/drivers/printer-k200l.ts`). It prints through the shared generic ESC/POS
path (identical bytes, TCP 9100 or `usblp`) and **adds live status from the LAN board** — see
below. Before 2026-09-09 this unit ran on the generic `escpos` driver (reachability only), which is
why the app could never show its cover/paper state.
## Network setup (the evening that was never written down)
- **Factory address `192.168.123.100/24`, DHCP OFF.** Nothing announces it; the printer just sits
there on a subnet nobody uses. To reach it, give the workstation a second address in
`192.168.123.0/24` (Windows: adapter → IPv4 → Advanced → add `192.168.123.101`), then open
`http://192.168.123.100/`.
- The web configurator (port 80, **no authentication**) is a three-frame page: *Information*
(`ip_info.htm`: MAC, IP, mask, gateway, DHCP on/off, DHCP timeout), *Configuration*
(`ip_config.htm`: DHCP client on/off + timeout, fixed IP / mask / gateway as four octet fields,
**Save**, Restore Default, cancel), *Printer Status* (`prt_status.htm`), *Printer Test*
(`prt_test.htm`), and a **Restart** button in the menu.
- **Set a fixed address on the device VLAN** (park-lab: `10.0.10.7/24`, gateway `10.0.10.1`) →
Save → Restart; then remove the temporary `192.168.123.x` address from the workstation. Keep
DHCP off — the app addresses printers by IP ([[rongta-printer]] §Deployment).
- The self-test page (`prt_test.htm` / the "Print Test Page" button on the status page) prints
the current network settings, so a unit with a forgotten address can be read back that way.
- The board's HTTP server is **tiny**: the frameset reloads its frames every 1–3 s and the status
page every 5 s, and it holds very few connections. **Close the browser tab while the app is
polling**, or connections intermittently time out (seen on the bench: `ping` fine, port open,
every second HTTP connect hanging while the page was open in a browser).
> **WSL gotcha while doing this (2026-09-09):** the dev box then carried BOTH `192.168.123.101`
> and `10.0.10.203` on `eth0`, and WSL sourced 10.0.10.x traffic from the 192.168.123 address —
> the exact [[wsl-dev-networking]] source-address bug, except `parking-net.service` pins `eth1`
> and the mirrored LAN NIC is `eth0` now. Symptom: `ping` works, `curl` times out. Run the fix for
> `eth0`, or drop the temporary address once the printer is moved.
## Live status — the `/prt_status.htm` page
The LAN board serves a five-row table the printer has already decoded from its own sensors:
```
Cover Is Open Yes/No
Cutter Error Yes/No
Paper End Yes/No
Paper Near End Yes/No
Printer Off-Line Yes/No
```
**Same rows, same `<TD>label</TD><TD>Yes|No</TD>` shape as the Rongta board's `/prn_stat.htm`**
([[printer-status-monitoring]]) — only the path differs, which is why nobody found it in July
(the Rongta driver looked for `/prn_stat.htm`, got nothing, and the unit was filed as "serves no
status page → generic driver"). Verified on the bench: cover open → `Cover Is Open Yes`, `Paper End
Yes`, `Printer Off-Line Yes` within a refresh; cover closed → all `No`.
**Quirk that needs its own fetch code:** the board's HTTP reply has **no status line and no
headers** — the body starts at byte 0 (HTTP/0.9 style). Browsers render it; `curl` reports
`000` with an empty body; Node's `http` client rejects it with *"Parse Error: Expected HTTP/, RTSP/
or ICE/"*. So the `k200l` driver reads the page over a **raw TCP socket** (`GET … HTTP/1.0`, read
until the board closes) and accepts both the headerless reply and a proper one. This is the second
reason the K200L has its own driver rather than a path option on the Rongta one.
Status mapping (mirrors the Rongta driver, [[printer-status-monitoring]]): board unreachable /
timeout → **offline**; page reachable but not the table (non-200, the index page) → **degraded
"unexpected status page"**, never ready off a page we didn't read; any Yes → **degraded** naming
the faults ("cover open, paper out, printer off-line"); all No → **ready**. Over **USB** there is
no page: reachability floor only (ready/offline), same as a USB Rongta.
## What this means for the park-buzi bug
At park-buzi this unit ran **over USB** on the generic driver, i.e. monitored by "does
`/dev/usb/lpN` open". A cover-open / paper-out condition **never showed in the app at all** — the
badge stayed green. So the operators' "printer goes offline after reloading paper" was not the
cover state being reported; it was a genuine probe failure whose errno is still unread (site shut
down — [[printer-usb-transport]] §Field bug has the commands to pull first). Running the unit on
**LAN with the `k200l` driver** would give the booth a real amber "cover open / paper out" while
the roll is changed, and removes the `usblp` path from the equation altogether — a strong reason to
cable it to the device VLAN when the site reopens.
