The very weird thing that CUPS does is give me a selection of 6, that's right, 6 different "discovered" network printers to choose from. 5 of them are exactly the same. 1 of them is different AND DOES NOT WORK. (it's: lpd://BRN001BA9BC9354/BINARY_P1) There's something somewhat screwed up and it's unknown whether it's brother's printer driver or CUPS. However just for the future searchers of this list, here's the choice that _does_ work. dnssd://Brother%20DCP-8110DN._ipp._tcp.local/ LOL. Never in a million years could i have figured out that was something i could enter. good thing CUPS gave me the choice so i didn't have to try and figure it out. Clearly brother is doing something that's not totally wrong since CUPS gave me the choice and it worked. I had to pick the associated PPD file too, but that was part of the install when i installed Brother's debian package... Now the really hard part. Gonna try and get the scanner working. *heavy sigh* Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
