Summary: I am not sure how the Device URI is supposed to work in Ubuntu, but installing the printer using the Ubuntu Add Printer wizard (GUI) a string of alpha characters is entered. Users are unable to print. However, manually changing this to the Printer IP address does allow printing to work. I confirmed this issue with four separate machines all running clean installations of Ubuntu 16.04 with no modifications, and updates applied. *Please see attached PDF with installation procedure and screenshots for details. ---------- Installation Example: Example network printer: Brother DCP-L2540DW (Static IP: 192.168.1.20) Procedure: *Adding the printer: "Settings > Printer > Add" *Select printer under "Network Printer", Host Name shows "BRN30055C829554". *Complete installation after selecting an acceptable driver. *Printer does NOT print. Printer Properties shows "Device URI": "lpd://BRN30055C829554/BINARY_P1" *Changing Device URI to printer IP (using "Change" option) corrects Device URI to IP address "lpd://192.168.1.20/BINARY_P1" *Printing is now successful.
