Thanks for the guide. I installed a HL-5250DN today with Cups-1.2.6 and udev-087-r1 (udev-103 had a little bit too many problems for my liking)
With your guide I managed to install the printer just fine and cups also recognized it, but as soon as I tried to print something it gave me the error-message: "Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds". After a little searching I found that if the line
Code:
DeviceURI usb://Brother/HL-5250DN%20series

gets changed to
Code:
DeviceURI file:/dev/usb/lp0

in the file /etc/cups/printer.conf cups will finally print.
Thought I should mention it here, should anybody else run into the same trouble.

thanks, Nadhor

this is what I forgot to add :roll:

everytime I newly install a printer I have to "modify" it under cups, since this happens rather seldom I didn't think of it, it will be added soon to my steps ...

it's also pretty strange that it sometimes works right out of the box & sometimes only with that modification ...

... but at least it works ;)

hi everyone,

watch out when updating your system:

cups 1.2.8 made some changes and isn't working for me, so if you encounter problems, switch back to 1.2.7

1.2.8 works fine for me. Mine is a 7820N.

BTW, did anybody get the "Scan" button on the machine work with Linux? If yes then it would be perfect. I got print/scan working already. Didn't try PC fax yet, I bet it works. Will write a how-to after I try it today.

The only things left are:
1. PC Fax receive
2. Scan button on the machine

I'm trying to have my new DCP-750CW work. I have followed VValdo guidelines but I still have the following trouble :
- when I launch any printing job, the printer "wakes-up" but nothing is printed
- Cups seems to consider that the job is finished successfully (the job is deleted from the queue, moreover the log in debug mode states that the job is terminated with success)
- the only strange think found in cups log is the following error
Code:
"cupsdAuthorize: Local authentication certificate not found!"
(but according to google and as far as I have understood it should not be linked to my issue)
- another strange thinks is that the files in /var/spool/cups (which I think are related to the file to be printed) belong to root:lp with permission 600 (and are filling up this directory)

The printer is connected through ethernet if it can be the root of the issue.

which platform are you using, if I may ask: x86 or amd64?

if you're using amd64, have you copied over files to /usr/libexec/... (if using cups 1.2*), have you installed the files manually or used rpm?

sorry, I'm a bit lazy & busy right now & in addition to that I don't know anymore what VValdo's steps were ... will have a look at them later ...

I'm running x86 platform.
I did use the rpm packages (first to install lpr drivers then the cups wrapper)
I copy the files from /usr/lib/cups/filter to /usr/libexec/cups/filter (in fact I've created a symlink from /usr/lib/cups/filter to its new cups 1.2* location before I installed the rpm).

Dear Forum,

I can't get my Brother MFC-425CN scanner working via network.
Printing via network is fine using CUPS.

Code:
 brsaneconfig2 -q
says that the scanner s found:

Code:

Devices on network
  0 MFC-425CN           "MFC-425CN"         I:192.168.178.2


Nevertheless xsane does not find any scanner.
Who can help me?
Thanks!
Dominik

did xsane work with the root account?

did you follow the gentoo wiki or did you configure it on your own? (http://gentoo-wiki.com/Brother_MFC_420CN/Sane)


I'm having problems setting up my printer (MFC5840CN) up on another system (via usb): I'm getting the infamous: "Unable to copy ppd" message, like on ubuntu-forums described:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=232276

unfortunately the tips don't help, on one case the printer says "Incoming Data" (or similar; translated message), the other cups says /usr/libexec/cups/filter/brldwrapper... failed (the exact version / name of that file doesn't play a role)

did anyone encounter the same behavior & can help me? cups error log says: 'exited with error message 30' or similar, which means that lpr driver isn't installed (read this somewhere), which in fact isn't true since I copied / installed that before cupswrapper

Many thanks in advance

I don't know if it can help but I had to modify the permission of the brother filter in order to get rid of such complain (to have it executable by world such like the other filters).I did have to do the same for the brother ppd file in /usr/share/cups/model.

EDIT : thanks to your question, I go through most of eth files installed by Brother and I discover some other permission issues (like access to /usr/local/Brother/printer and Scanner). I change them and it fixes all my scanning and printing issues !

Thus I'm still not clear of what should be the right owner and permission setting for such files. Should it be root:root with a world r--x or root:lp with no permission for world ...

Seems to me I have a different problem since permissions are set in the right way (Thanks for your input kernelOfTruth). All the relevant files are world readable. Are you sure root is the right owner?

thank you very much for this excellent guide. :D

I have a MFC 9160 --> color scanner and b&w printer working nicely (for normal user also) with cups and xsane.

I just copy-pasted your commands ( :oops: ) and it worked perfectly. Fixed the whole thing in around 10 minutes 8)

sorry for this long delay :(

I'm pretty sure that it should be root, but you could rpm2targz your rpm-files, then check out what permissions they have inside those rpms

you could also try out to set them to root:users, but leave the file(s) with lp:lp

@monsieur:

glad it helped you :D

first try to get it to print locally (usb, parallel port), then connect it to ethernet

the main thing is:

try to get right permissions on all files #4044097

that was the most often problem I always had

good luck

Hello!

I've just installed my Brother DCP-7010L A4 scanner. It works very fine with brother2 backend, but, starting xsane I see something strange.
Here's the main xsane screenshot.
As you can see in the red circle, dimensions are 21.59 cm x 35.56 cm.
My scanner is an A4 scanner, so it would be better if dimentions are 21.00 cm x 29.7 cm.
Scanned images take less then an A4 sheet actually. Expecially in PDF files.

How can I modify that values?

Thanks a lot.

in the preview window instead of "full size" select "DIN A4 port." or other as needed

ok, thanks

well, that's ok, I would stick to 1.1.23, since last time I tried out 1.2* and reverted to 1.1.23 it didn't work anymore 8O

Update:

I solved the problem thanks to VValdo's post:

just copy /usr/lib/cups/filter/brlpdwrapper* to /usr/libexec/cups/filter/brlpdwrapper*
and the printer should also work with cups-1.2*


hmm no f/usr/lib/cups doesn't exist in my setup.

using latest version of cups as well, so far I have everything running except the printer system sends data to printer which is recieved but printer discards, and cups reports success. oh and also no lpd in /etc/init.d not sure what has to be emerged there i tried search and just get selinux library.

correction after logging out and back in I no longer can scan, running xsane from terminal i get

Code:
xsane
bugchk_free(ptr=(nil))@brother_modelinf.c(467)
Aborted

try scanning via root -

I know - I know you shouldn't do things with root,

but that's the only temporary solution - at least for me

try - it - out :wink:

I'm trying to get my MFC-240C to work, but all the suggestions thus far do not seem to help. CUPS recognizes the printer on the USB port; however, it does not seem to actually print anything. Any jobs sit as processing endlessly. The error log shows nothing.

My system is configured as amd64, and I've installed the driver and cupswrapper as per Brother's site's instructions.
