CUPS not working for Brother HL-2140 on 13.37 x86_64
I'm trying to get this printer to work under cups in Slackware 13.37 x86_64. I am working on a pure 64-bit system and do not want to install 32-bit libraries.
So far I tried many different CUPS+Gutenprint drivers, including HL-2060, HL-1250 MFC-8300 PCL5e PCL6. None of them work, at most what I get is that the printer starts working but then no page comes out; while CUPS thinks that the job was printed (the logs show success)... However the printer works fine when I use ghostscript directly from the command line using a command I found on a previous thread: Code:
gs -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -sDEVICE=hl1250 -sOutputFile=/dev/usb/lp0 \ So the question is how to get this to work with CUPS? Surely this must be simple if gs is already working. Any ideas? |
Try to search for a ppd on openprinting.
Only in the last year they add a ppd for my hl-2030, maybe you can find one for your 2040 |
Device URI is correct in Cups ?

I would try a valid name, I mean a name present in
/usr/share/gutenprint/5.2/xml/printers.xml Maybe use another number, like : usb://Brother/HL-1250 or use this: http://www.profv.de/brother/ Then: usb://Brother/HL-2140 |
Brother's Linux drivers page:

Did not try the PPD from Cedrik since this one works, perhaps his would work too. Thanks for all the suggestions, this was a quick resolution. Will mark this as solved. |
