Requirement
Creating a symbolic link is required before the installation (superuser authorization is required to run the command) ... For Redhat based distributions and Debian base distributions greater than Ubuntu8.10, Debian5:
"ln -s /etc/init.d/cups /etc/init.d/lpd" [/quote]
Those instructions must be very old, they are invalid for a systemd distribution.
/etc/init.d/cups does not exist, but neither does it exist on my 24/7 15.1 system, where same HL-5470DW works as expected.
# ls -l /etc/init.d/ ... lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jan 3 2016 lpd -> /etc/init.d/cups # red!!! ...
Can't be correct. Ah, the link was created but points to the void. Of course. Sigh. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
