Why 32 bit? Is this a 32 bit machine? ... What is the purpose of that command?
Which, zypper se?
The command you wrote above, "zypper se -i 32bit libstdc cups pdf"
Mmm. Apparently they say that the brother driver & tools are 32 bit, but they don't declare it. Then perhaps what you should install using zypper is the 32 bit pattern.
There are lots of Brother printer troubleshooting hits saying various 32bit packages solved their problems. The forum thread I started includes at least two of them, plus explict instruction for at least one.
32bit pattern - never. Whatever the required brother 32bit rpms require should at least get announced somehow, if not automatically installed. It's looking to me more and more like it's bug report time.
Why do you expect a proprietary package to do Linux things properly? Do they say in the printer box "Linux supported"? I bet they don't. You wouldn't have a problem if they publish an RPM with the correct requisites for a modern distribution. They don't do it, and you have problems for weeks just to try making the damm printer work. Having the 32bit pattern installed doesn't hurt. Just more packages to install and update automatically. Not a problem unless your internet pipe is "bad". Anyway, if you will not do it, then wash, rinse, repeat. Have the cups log enabled in debug mode (mayby delete the logs at that second, as one of the links you posted say), print something with lpr, analyze the logs. If you don't see the issue, upload to susepaste, and post the link here where we can see it. And don't ever buy a Brother printer again. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
