cups on current - can't print to cups printer on 14.1

My 14.1/64 system has cups version 1.5.4, and has a Brother HL-L2320D printer attached. It has been working since I purchased it about a year ago. I can print to it form my net book also running 14.1/64 and cups 1.5.4. Other in the house have no problems printing to it from various Win flavours.

I have recently added another system to test current/64. Everything else I have tested works with out any problems.

Cups on current is at 2.1.3. I have updated to the latest level as of June 11th.

I followed the how-to on the slackware wiki on how to install the Brother drivers, that all went as expected, including the 32 bit libs. I do not have a full multi-lib install.

These are the files I installed:

Code:
ls
cups-compat32-2.1.3-x86_64-2compat32.txz      hll2320dcupswrapper-3.2.0-i386-1.txz
glibc-solibs-2.23_multilib-x86_64-1alien.txz  hll2320dlpr-3.2.0-1.i386.rpm
hll2320dcupswrapper-3.2.0-1.i386.rpm	      hll2320dlpr-3.2.0-i386-1.txz
The .rpm files I downloaded from Brother, and converted to .txz files to install.

On 14.1 client systems cups finds the printer definitions without any intervention, and I can print from a client to the server.

On current this never happens. I have tried many different URI's to try and get printing working. Cups on current reports it can no find the printer on my 14.1 server.

This is the most recent device URI I tried without success:

Code:
 ipp://duelie.cliffshome.org:631/printers/Brother_HL-L2320D_series
For the record, I can connect to 14.1 cups from current. I can ping duelie.cliffshome.org.

I just can not get test page to print. What am I missing?

camorri --

What does the lpstat command show ?

Code:
lpstat -t
And are there any hints in /var/log/cups/error_log ?

Code:
cat /var/log/cups/error_log
HTH ...

Hmmm ...

Nothing jumps out for me other than the lines that say: 'Unable to get printer status.' in both listings.

Could there be a firewall in the way ( the HTTP Status Codes indicate this is not so but ... )

Does the print job from your new 14.2 box show up in duelie's /var/log/cups/access_log or in duelie's /var/log/cups/error_log ?

This is another LQ thread for Brother Printers on 64-Bit 14.1 that may have some hints: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...er-4175531413/

HTH.

For a CUPS 1.6+ clients communicating with a legacy CUPS (1.5.4 or older) server, cups-browsed is required for CUPS browsing/sharing, as this protocol has been dropped in cupsd in recent releases.

Thank you ferrari !

I am not the original poster but I've also had problems printing to an Hp USB Printer hosted on a remote CentOS 6.8 Box.

Only the smb:// protocol works.

From what I can tell, I may be able to convert my remote smb:// protocol printer over to something more appropriate for a Linux Box !

Checking out the packages and seeing what might be required to create a cups-browsed.SlackBuild ...

Will reply here ..

EDIT: cups-browsed version 1.83 is already installed on current but is not configured or running on my machine.

More to come ...

I have not configured a firewall on either the current system or the 14.1 system. I do have a hosts.deny All:All on the 14.1 system. I have added the IP address of the current system to the various services.

Here is what I see today in the access log on the server, duelie:

Current is IP address .22, .13 is my wifes W7 system.

I will have a look through the post you mentioned.

I will have a look through the doc ferrari has suggested. Thank-you both for your help.

camorri --

The links ferrari send somehow got me here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS

Note the Note on remote printers and cups >= 1.6 clients with cups <= 1.5 servers.

The good news: When I set up /etc/cups/client.conf the way they suggested, I could print via ipp or lpd to a remote USB Printer hosted on a CentOS 6.8 box ( cups v1.4.2 )

Up to now only smb:// protocol worked with that server.

The bad news: Other printers on the LAN disappeared

I obviously need to study the cups.client man pages

Thanks.

Good catch re the ArchWiki page and IPP version...

Quote:
Note: As of CUPS version 1.6, the client defaults to IPP 2.0. If the server uses CUPS <= 1.5 / IPP <= 1.1, the client does not downgrade the protocol automatically and thus cannot communicate with the server. A workaround (undocumented as of 2013-05-07, but see this bug report) is to put the following in /etc/cups/client.conf: ServerName HOSTNAME-OR-IP-ADDRESS[:PORT]/version=1.1
Also
Code:
man cups-browsed
The key configuration file is /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf, so this man page too...
Code:
man cups-browsed.conf

Thank-you both for your help.

I have had some success. I configured current to print through samba, that works. For anyone seeing this in the future, the URI looks like this:

Quote:
smb://duelie/Brother_HL-L2320D_series
Some explanation, 'duelie' is the host name of my samba server and print server. The queue name is 'Brother_HL-L2320D_series'. This is the name I gave it, you can make your own names. You can also set your own host name.

I have not got this working yet with ipp. I have created a /etc/cups/client.conf file with the following line:

Quote:
ServerName 192.168.1.26:631/version=1.1
I am struggling to understand how to set up /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf.

I'm not familiar with Slackware, but 'cups-browsed' needs to be installed and running on the client (when communicating with old CUPS servers), and with a minimal /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf containing at least
Code:
BrowseRemoteProtocols CUPS
Then the client should be able receive the CUPS broadcasts...

Quote:
DESCRIPTION
cups-browsed has three independently switchable functions:

1. Browse Bonjour broadcasts of remote printers and create/remove local raw queues
pointing to these printers.

2. Browse CUPS broadcasts of remote printers and create/remove local raw queues
pointing to these printers.

3. Broadcast local queues with the CUPS protocol.

Note that 2. and 3. are only to allow communication with legacy CUPS servers (1.5.x or
older) on the remote machine(s). The standard method to broadcast for shared/network
printers to broadcast their presence is Bonjour. The CUPS broadcasting/browsing proto-
col is deprecated.

Well, this is a more than a little puzzling. I have finally got printing working from current to 14.1/64 bit.

I made the change ferrari suggested; changing /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf to include the line BrowseRemoteProtocols CUPS. If I havn't mentioned it, you have to make /etc/rc.d/rc.cups-browsed executable also.

I had to change the printer I defined on current as RAW, not using the locally installed drivers from Brother. The correct driver is install on my 14.1 system. With this setup, I have printed test page, and printed from an application.

Other things I found confusing, the examples in cups for the URI's could be a lot better.
Of course, that is up to the CUPS developers to change; if they see fit.

I will be updating the 14.1/64 system to 14.2, when its ready. We will see what adventures that creates with printing. I'm marking this thread solved.

Thank you camorri and ferrari !

I've got a looming Programming Deadline but I'll return to this ASAP.

The raw queue on the server-side is good info and it makes sense since you're using the Brother Driver on the Client-Side ( all the server needs to do is pass-thru a pre-formatted job ).

It will be interesting to see if cups-browsed will 'play nice' with hplip which I seem to need to print to my Wife's Hp HP_Officejet_Pro_X476dn_MFP.

It didn't work yesterday but then I was also fooling with /etc/cups/client.conf ( a non-empty client.conf + /etc/rc.d/cups restart is what seemed to break hplip ).

Anyhow, I'll add any new info if I learn any more juicy tidbits.

Thanks again !

I have my CUPS server configured with the drivers etc, and CUPS clients detect the remote CUPS printers and set up a local raw queue automatically without any configuration required. They're just available to print to.
