[DE] Brother HL-2070n
« on: 2013/08/31, 20:57:07 »
Ich scheitere meinen alten Drucker installiert zu bekommen.
Er ist an meinem Gargoyle 1043nd router an USB angeschlossen.
Die Verbindung auf der IP 192.168.3.252 steht, unter localhost:631
lässt sich der Drucker einrichten, MacOS und Windows drucken wie blöd nur meien Linux-kisten bringen nur die grüne LED zum Blinken.
Wenn man dann die Go Taste drückt, schmeißt er die Seite raus auf der dann steht, das wenn man diesen Text liest, der falsche Treiber
installiert ist. Aber für den Drucker gibt es gleich mehrere Treiber mit cups mitgeliefert. Nur keiner funktioniert.

Letztes Jahr lief das noch ohne Probleme. Hat jemand ne Idee wie ich das löse?

es geht jetzt nur noch mit den cupswrapper und lpr Paketen von brother. Man muss dazu multiarch i386 aktivieren und mit den Bauchschmerzen leben an apt vorbei 2 mäßig bewertete brother pakete installiert zu haben.

Begeisterung geht anders!

Code: [Select]
mkdir /var/spool/lpd/
Code: [Select]
dpkg  -i  --force-all brhl2070nlpr-2.0.1-1.i386.deb

dpkg  -i  --force-all cupswrapperHL2070N-2.0.1-2.i386.deb

Code: [Select]
http://localhost:631/printers
when choosing a printer model, don't choose any of the options, instead, there's a place for you to set up using a PPD driver, and browse to
Code: [Select]
/usr/share/cups/model/HL2070N.ppd
Code: [Select]
/etc/init.d/cups restart
Code: [Select]
dpkg  -l  |  grep  Brother
Which for me gives the output
Code: [Select]
dpkg  -l  |  grep  Brother

Re:
Code: [Select]
mkdir /var/spool/lpd/
I always make that a symbolic link to /var/spool/cups instead. Might not be the "cleanest" way but created no problems until now.
Is now usually among the first things I do when dealing with drivers from brother.

I have been using brother printers since kanotix days and never had a problem using the above ;)

I will try on my next test/install /var/spool/cups and see what happens.

I will be getting a new printer soon as my MFC420CN is getting old and my wife needs it more than me (uses windows 7) as this is our "network printer" used across our home network

I have modified a script someone here posted a while back to reflect my drivers.

I have looked at several scripts on the web and they all include mkdir /var/spool/lpd && echo.

When I first started with this printer, the brother website had that (above) included in their directions to install, I stuck with it over the years

The original script
Code: [Select]
#! bin/bash
# DCP-9010CN_Treiberinstall.sh
if test $(id -u) != 0; then
 echo "\033[1;31mFehler: werde zu su oder sux und starte das script neu! \033[0m"
 exit 1
fi
mkdir -p $HOME/DCP-9010CN && cd $HOME/DCP-9010CN && echo "Verzeichnis erstellt"

well, as I mentioned the way I suggested is not the "cleanest" one. But as I found out just creating the link to the cups directory instead didnot do any harm.

just found that using HP-Laserjet-series Driver works without that brother debs.

This will be my way. Absolutly clean solution without brother debs.

Don't the Brother printers use HP print engines? I have a Brother MFC465CN that is 6 years old and soon will be replaced with a newer one. Should I stick with Brother or should I go with HP?

It depends on your device, in my case the simple black and white laserprinter has no Options not useable in the HP driver.

So I have decided to use HP driver.

If you own a multifunktion printer you probably have to use Brother driver if you want to use all Options.

Simple try it out.
