I have similar problem: OS: Ubuntu Gutsy Printer: Brother MFC-7420 uname -a: Linux edwin-7700 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux cupsys-common/client/cupsys/libcupsimage2/libcupsys2: 1.3.2-1ubuntu7.1 hal-cups-utils: 0.6.13+svn83-0ubuntu1
I installed the latest mfc7420 brmfc lpr driver AND the mfc7420 cupswrapper from the brother website When I plug in the printer (USB) i get this lpinfo -v output: network socket network beh direct hal:///org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_ffffffff_ffffffff_noserial_0_printer_noserial network http network ipp network lpd direct scsi network smb I think there should be a 'direct usb:.......' too. But it's not there. So. when I set up the printer in CUPS (or when it's autodetected) i can not choose for 'Brother at USB#1' or something. On an other laptop running Xubuntu, the printer works fine! lpinfo -v gives both a 'direct hal' line as a 'direct usb' line for the printer. Is this a bug? I tried the sysfsutils workaround.. but no result Also tried the cups packages with other usb backend (I unloaded usblp). But also no result. What can I try?
