| Summary | No network printing via Router possible | Brother HL-3040CN unsupported GDI printer "Host-Based only" (but Brother provides a driver) |
First and foremost see https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bugzilla is no replacement for support. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- According to http://support.brother.com/g/b/spec.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=hl3040cn_all -------------------------------------------------------------------------- HL-3040CN Specification ... PRINTER Emulation N/A(Host-Based only) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- the Brother HL-3040CN is a so called "GDI" printer, see https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:GDI_Printers Therefore the issue is invalid for openSUSE. It is no bug in openSUSE when it does not support hardware that requires a proprietary driver. According to http://support.brother.com/g/b/oslist.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=hl3040cn_all -------------------------------------------------------------------------- HL-3040CN Supported OS ... Linux -------------------------------------------------------------------------- it seems Brother provides a driver for Linux, see also http://support.brother.com/g/s/id/linux/en/index.html?c=us&lang=en&prod=hl3040cn_all&redirect=on In general regarding proprietary third-party software (e.g. printer driver software from printer manufacturers): For proprietary software nobody - except the authors or vendor of the proprietary software - can provide any kind of help and support because nobody - except the authors or vendor - know how their proprietary software really works. In this case you can only contact those wherefrom you got the proprietary software for any kind of help and support.
