Completed some further testing on a network with Brother Printer. I confirmed the following results on two seperate Linux machines (laptop over WiFi and Ethernet) and Desktop machine. Both had the same results.
Example network printer: Brother DCP-L2540DW (Static IP: 192.168.1.20) There are two options to select when the Brother network printer is detected (see my attached screenshots for examples). The first option: Shows HOST field “BRN30055C829554” and Queue: “BINARY_P1”. This option STILL does not work for me, however if I change the Device URI to the printer IP I can print successfully (as mentioned earlier). However, the second option did not used to work either for me, but now appears to work correctly! This method uses “IPP network printer via DNS-SD” option does now appear to work (see screenshot below). I still think the default selection (first option) needs resolved. See below and attachment for details: -------------------- The first option: Shows HOST field “BRN30055C829554” and Queue: “BINARY_P1”. My printer driver (Brother DCP-L2540DW) is not shown. Driver chosen is DCP-7045N driver (which also works) and click “Forward”. (See below) Auto created Device URI: “lpd://BRN30055C829554/BINARY_P1” -------------------- Second Option: Using “IPP network printer via DNS-SD” option does now appear to work (see below)! Auto created Device URI: "dnssd://Brother%20DCP-L2540DW%20series._ipp._tcp.local/?uuid=e3248000-80ce-11db-8000-30055c829554" -------------------- ** Attachment added: "Ubuntu_Printing-16.04_Brother_Test_UPDATED.pdf" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/1642454/+attachment/4780618/+files/Ubuntu_Printing-16.04_Brother_Test_UPDATED.pdf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1642454 Title: Installing Network Printer via Add Printer wizard creates incorrect Device URI (Ubuntu 16.04) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/1642454/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
