udp broadcasting to the printers using esp32

Postby mallanagouda » Thu Jun 06, 2019 5:12 am

Hi everyone,
myself mallan, i need to broadcast some data with prefix mac address of printer. every printers (printers will be in station mode, if i'm sending data from mobile, then mobile will be AP mode) in the network need to be receive that data and the one with same mac address which is the data should print and remaining printers needs to ignore that data. now i have done with tcp, it is connection oriented so is it possible to broadcast and print data using udp? if yes please suggest me.

Thanks & Regards
Mallan.

It certainly is possible to broadcast UDP data, but do you have a reason to believe the printers will react to broadcasted UDP packets?
