I have the same problem. When I plugin the HL 2040 the HL 2060 driver is used, so this driver is obviously not compatible with the printer.
- Brother HL-1030, Foomatic/hl1250 Works, good quality (probably a nicer rastering method than the WIndows driver uses!) - Brother HL-1040, Foomatic/hl7x0 Printing does not work: The printer Ready LED flashes for a while and afterwards it is on again. - Generic PCL-6/XL printer, Foomatic/pxlmono A soft 'tick' sound occurred and the printer turned off... Surely is a bad driver! - Generic PCL-5e printer, Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5e Works, but the gray (of the colored parts) areas are ugly (rastering method is too coarse!) So, when choosing from these 4 drivers the HL-1030 is best. ** Changed in: foomatic-db (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/768727 Title: Brother HL 2040 prints infinite blank pages -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
