Bug description:
Did buy a Brother MFC8510 printer that worked out-of-the box (after
changing the protocol the printer is accessed with at
http://localhost:681, that is, since dnssd seems not to fully work for
me, see the warning) but stopped working about 2 months ago. At the
same time /var/log/cups/error_log started to fill with the following
warning:
E [13/Jul/2013:14:28:13 +0200] [cups-deviced] PID 2778 (dnssd) stopped with
status 1!
E [13/Jul/2013:14:28:40 +0200] [cups-driverd] Bad driver information file
"/usr/share/cups/drv/cupsfilters.drv"!
moving the file away stopped the warnings and returned my printer to a
working order again.
Will attach the file to this bug report: Didn't find it in apt-cache
so I assume it might be a remains from an old version of an package.
