printing with Brother printer doesn't work
by Tsuga from LinuxQuestions.org on (#56YVH)
I have a Brother MFC-L2750DW from which I'm trying to print. I got the drivers installed. I have CUPS daemon started. But when I send a job to the printer, nothing happens. The printer will give the message "receiving data" and CUPS will show either the job completed or stopped.
I don't always have the printer connected. I use a USB connection when it is connected. I just now plugged in to try to test the printer again. On the CUPS page (localhost:631), when I go to Administration, then "Manage Printers", I get this message for status:
Code:Idle - "File "/usr/lib64/cups/filter/brother_lpdwrapper_MFCL2750DW" has insecure permissions (0100755/uid=1002/gid=100)."If I check the file:
Code:bash-5.0$ ls -la /usr/lib64/cups/filter/brother_lpdwrapper_MFCL2750DW
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 55 Aug 7 16:01 /usr/lib64/cups/filter/brother_lpdwrapper_MFCL2750DW -> /opt/brother/Printers/MFCL2750DW/cupswrapper/lpdwrapperI sent a print test page job and the CUPS page says this:

And the "state" below that summary says "stopped".
If I'm reading the permissions correctly, it looks like any user can execute commands on the printer? If I'm correct, why can't I print anything?
