Borked linux printer driver

shakespeare1 · 09-30-2020, 03:07 AM

OK, it was an issue with Web Browser.
With firefox as the browser it seems to work. I had got chromium-browser as the default (any idea how to fix this, so it still uses chromium-browser as the default Web Browser?).

Thanks for the update. Glad to read of your success with this.

I'm not a Chrome user. Usually a matter of setting file preferences associated with a particular preferred application.

Maybe try Chrome instead of Chromium

I have limited success.
It doesn't work as advertised.

None of the printers work
"Generic CUPS-BRF"

How is printing related to the original topic of problems with the clipboard?

Please put a different topic in a new thread.
Also, we need to know details, a lot more than "None of the printers work".

The CUPS interface shows this

Description: Brother DCP-9055CDN
Location: 192.168.2.99
Driver: Brother DCP-9055CDN CUPS (color)
Connection: ipp://printer.mydomain/ipp
Defaults: job-sheets=none, none media=iso_a4_210x297mm sides=one-sided

I want to change to
Connection: dnssd://Brother%20DCP-9055CDN_pdl-datastream_tcp.local

So change it. Open CUPS by typing localhost:631/ in a browser, and click on Administration, then Add Printer. That will give you a list of all printers it can find, at all URIs, and you can choose the one you want. If that doesn't work, repeat and select a different URI until you find one that works.

shakespeare1 · 10-02-2020, 07:02 AM

"That will give you a list of all printers it can find, at all URIs, and you can choose the one you want."
It doesn't find all URIs. I have a Brother printer and the dnssd:// prefix is missing.

sgosnell · 10-02-2020, 09:57 AM

Then why do you want to assign it? It won't give access to the printer. Try the ones that show before you panic.

I think he wants to put the square peg in the round hole.

He has totally been focused on using dnssd: when he also repeatedly has said it does not work. Maybe if shakespear1 would be satisfied with what it appears works for him his problem could be resolved.

but he continues to beat that dead horse.

The horse is not yet dead.
I have a problem:

would, in fact, work.

"Unauthorized"

The web page doesn't tell me any more than that (I'm not using Kerberos).

I've also tried to use lpoptions
shakespeare@RYZEN:~$ lpoptions -p socket://192.168.2.99
lpoptions: Unable to add printer or instance: No such file or directory
shakespeare@RYZEN:~$ lpoptions -p lpd://192.168.2.99/BINARY_P1
lpoptions: Unable to add printer or instance: No such file or directory
shakespeare@RYZEN:~$

That won't work. You need to use lpadmin command.

You really are making this hard for yourself. Do some reading.

Yes, it should work, but we're not over your shoulder to check your system or the network environment. Since the printer is NOT enumerated via 'avahi-browse -art' the CUPS dnssd backend WILL NOT work. You need to investigate this further.
