It only shows those printer connections which were already autodetected by CUPS ------------------------------------------------------------ Regarding "udev-configure-printer", you may have a look at the section "Automated Printer Configuration" in http://en.opensuse.org/YaST_Printer I am at my wit's end. I have no idea why "/usr/lib/cups/backend/usb" cannot detect it. Let's wait if your mail "How can I configure a Brother MFC-8420?" on cups@easysw.com shows a reason. A workaround: Because "printf '\rHello\r\f' > /dev/usb/lp0" works, you could use a selfmade replacement backend, see in http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Using_Your_Own_Backends_to_Print_with_CUPS the section "A careless backend for a single USB printer". When you have such a selfmade "/usr/lib/cups/backend/usblp0" backend as described in the article, you could set up a print queue e.g. manually using as root lpadmin -p mfc8420 -v usblp0:/dev/usb/lp0 \ -P /path/to/your/ppd_file.ppd[.gz] -E As long as "printf '\rHello\r\f' > /dev/usb/lp0" works, you should be able to print via this "mfc8420" queue. You could test printing via the "mfc8420" queue with echo "Hello" | lp -d mfc8420 and echo "Hello" | a2ps -1 -o- | lp -d mfc8420 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
