cups filter not seen

CollieJim · 06-27-2010, 04:10 AM

I'm trying to install a Brother MFC425CN printer on my Gentoo system. I have obtained the files needed from Brother and extracted the payload.

The script for creating the filter (endless echos) is a csh script, so I emerged tcsh and ran the script. No luck. CUPS does not see the filter, even though it is present and has the same owner, group, and permissions that work on my other gentoo system.

When I print a test page the log file says

Code:

E [27/Jun/2010:09:36:03 +0800] PID 3912 (/usr/libexec/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperMFC210C) stopped with status 22!
D [27/Jun/2010:09:36:03 +0800] [Job 8] /usr/libexec/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperMFC210C: No such file or directory

It's been too long since I got it working on the other system, and if I made notes they are lost...

What does cups want???

Might need strace to see what it's looking for ..

Code:

strace -o /tmp/cups_strace -p $(pgrep cups)
[ctrl]+c
grep ENOENT /tmp/cups_strace
