Installing a printer
by Ian D from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6DX5E)
I have bought a new printer (Brother HL-L2350DW) and tried to connect it to my computer.
Looking at dmesg I can see that it has been spotted
Code:[ 1.677999] usb 2-3.4: New USB device found, idVendor=04f9, idProduct=009e, bcdDevice= 1.00
[ 1.678006] usb 2-3.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[ 1.678009] usb 2-3.4: Product: HL-L2350DW series
[ 1.678011] usb 2-3.4: Manufacturer: Brother
[ 1.678013] usb 2-3.4: SerialNumber: E78252B3N460964I have downloaded and installed the driver and 'Print Settings' knows about it - but the Properties shows 'Processing - Waiting for printer to become available.'
The printer is turned on but is asleep. Where should I look to get it to wake up?
Poking around I looked in /etc/cups/printer.conf. There I saw that my previous printer was at
Code:DeviceURI usb://Brother/MFC-9660?serial=BRO3C148910%0Dwhile the new one is at
Code:DeviceURI usb://dev/usb/lp0I am suspicious that the setup is not yet correct.
