@kikinovak:
Finally, I did install porteus 64 bit on a second machine. I also installed from the brother site the following drivers transformed with rpm2xzm into slackware equivalents:
-brhl2170wlpr-2.0.2-1.i386.rpm
-cupswrapperHL2170W-2.0.2-1.i386.rpm
I also installed the multilib equivalent of porteus called compat.xzm permitting 32 bit packages to be run under 64 bit.
A) Following your instructions:
4.1# ln -s /etc/rc.d/rc.cups /etc/init.d/cups
bash-4.1# ./cupswrapper
bash: ./cupswrapper: No such file or directory
bash-4.1# lpstat -t
scheduler is not running
no system default destination
lpstat: Connection refused
lpstat: Connection refused
lpstat: Connection refused
lpstat: Connection refused
lpstat: Connection refused
B) According to another thread, see:
http://www.slax.org/forum.php?action...parentID=33379
I did edit file: /usr/local/Brother/cupswrapper/cupswrapperHL2170W-2.0.2
changing: port=usb:/dev/usb/lp0
for port=usb://Brother/HL-2170W%20series
Then I got the following output:
4.1# /usr/local/Brother/cupswrapper/cupswrapperHL2170W-2.0.2 -i
cups: restarted scheduler. [ OK ]
lpinfo: Connection refused
lpinfo: Connection refused
lpadmin: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused
What do you think?
