I am in the process of setting up a Brother MFC-9560CDW printer on a FreeBSD-8.2 amd64 machine. It is a network printer and works fine with the Windows machines on the network. Not so much with the FreeBSD machine. CUPS detects the printer: Description: Brother MFC-9560CDW Location: Local Printer Driver: Brother MFC-9560CDW CUPS (color, 2-sided printing) Connection: lpd://BRW0022587025CB/BINARY_P1 Defaults: job-sheets=none, none media=na_letter_8.5x11in sides=one-sided However, the connection does not work correctly. I changed it to:lpd://192.168.1.100/BINARY_P1 and I can print a "self text page" from CUPS. However, I cannot print a "test page" from within CUPS, nor can I print anything from any other application. I have perused the log files without any success. This limited printing has got me totally baffled. I am open to suggestions as to what to try next. If there are any CUPS experts out there, please feel free to contact me off-list if you prefer. -- Carmel ✌ carmel_ny@hotmail.com
