abarbarian Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Before I did my fresh install of Arch CUPS worked just fine. Since the fresh install I can not get CUPS to work. I have followed the wiki and as far as I can see I have everything set up correctly but can not print. I can post any files or results from commands if requested like, --> lsusb Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 003: ID 04f9:006a Brother Industries, Ltd HL-1210W series Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 002: ID 045b:0210 Hitachi, Ltd Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1532:0083 Razer USA, Ltd RC30-0315, Gaming Mouse [Basilisk X HyperSpeed] Bus 001 Device 002: ID 045b:0209 Hitachi, Ltd Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Help me out folks I am tearing my hair out here as I can not figure it out...............................................

securitybreach Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Did you install the driver Quote Brother HL-1210W CUPS driver. After installing this, install printer from CUPS web interface https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brother-hl1210w/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedon James Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 first thing I thought too, SB. While Brother provides linux drivers (and deserves our support for THAT), they are proprietary in nature and not "supported" by Brother. Brother products aren't plug'n'play, or easily "discovered" like HP printers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how that transpired as I checked the relevant folders and files from the old Arch install against what I thought were the install files and folders that I put on the new Arch install. So this new driver works and I can print again. Thanks folks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
