Debug Brother Printer install
by 3rensho from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4RGJQ)
I recently had to replace my printer and bought a Brother HL-L2375DW. I knew I would have to jump thru a couple of hoops because Brother only has 32 bit drivers and I'm on x64-current. I found this
https://docs.slackware.com/howtos:ha...r_installation and
following that installed AlienBob's -
glibc-solibs-2.30_multilib-x86_64-1alien.txz
cups-compat32-2.3.0-x86_64-2compat32.txz
cups-filters-compat32-1.25.5-x86_64-1compat32.txz
as well as the hll2375dwpdrv-4.0.0-1.i386.rpm (converted to t?z) from Brother. Also added the following to my /etc/hosts file -
192.168.1.103 BRN3C2AF4B06DEF.local
Opened localhost:631 and my printer was recognized and added it to CUPS. When trying to print a test page (or anything else) the job shows up but just sits in the queue with a "pending" status.
At this point I am at a loss as to what to do to resolve the problem. That is where/what to look for. Anyone on the forum that has added a Brother printer have a clue as to what I should do next? Thanks in advance.
