Configure Brother DCP-J140W printer in ubuntu 16.04. Receive the data and process it but it does not print.

You really have not given us much to go on. Read this, then provide some more information. https://www.linuxquestions.org/linux...Ask_a_Question

You might try opening a text editor from a terminal and starting a print job. Perhaps that willl throw some useful error messages to the terminal that you could then post here, being sure to any terminal output with "code" tags, which become available when you click the "Go Advanced" button beneath the "compose post" window.

Also, take a look at CUPS at http://localhost:631. This article from the Arch wiki gives some good pointers: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...roubleshooting

1. How is the printer attached? Share the currently defined printer URI as reported by this command...

Code:

lpstat -t

2. Cancel any stake/stuck print jobs with

Code:

cancel -a

Put CUPS into debug mode with

Code:

sudo cupsctl --debug-logging

then send a print job. Examine the lengthy CUPS error_log for errors. If necessary you can copy this output in its entirety, and share it via https://pastebin.com/ posting the link that it generates here so that we can review it for any obvious issues.
