This has really got me stumped. Delete the printer in CUPS and configure it as Generic Postscript (without using the PPD file); it should work; It works, but only as a generic B/W printer. The problem seems to be in the cupswrappermfc9560cdw file i got when I downloaded the Debian drivers. That paths are all different and I am not really experienced enough to figure out the scripting to change it to work correctly. Maybe I can hire someone to modify the script to point to the correct locations for the files involved. -- Carmel ✌ carmel...@hotmail.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Printing using CUPS
I am in the process of setting up a Brother MFC-9560CDW printer on a FreeBSD-8.2 amd64 machine. It is a network printer and works fine with the Windows machines on the network. Not so much with the FreeBSD machine. CUPS detects the printer: Description:Brother MFC-9560CDW Location: Local Printer Driver: Brother MFC-9560CDW CUPS (color, 2-sided printing) Connection: lpd://BRW0022587025CB/BINARY_P1 Defaults: job-sheets=none, none media=na_letter_8.5x11in sides=one-sided However, the connection does not work correctly. I changed it to:lpd://192.168.1.100/BINARY_P1 and I can print a self text page from CUPS. However, I cannot print a test page from within CUPS, nor can I print anything from any other application. I have perused the log files without any success. This limited printing has got me totally baffled. I am open to suggestions as to what to try next. If there are any CUPS experts out there, please feel free to contact me off-list if you prefer. -- Carmel ✌ carmel...@hotmail.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
