Therefore don't file a bug report regarding this particular case at upstream CUPS. This does not mean there is no issue in CUPS why it cannot detect your particular printer - there could still be another issue in CUPS or elsewhere why it cannot detect those kind of Brother printers since some time. CUPS 1.5.0 in openSUSE has support for usblp printing: -------------------------------------------------------------------- root@host# rpm -q cups cups-1.5.0-76.2 root@host# /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb direct usb://HP/LaserJet%201220 "HP LaserJet 1220" ... root@host# rmmod usblp root@host# /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb root@host# modprobe usblp root@host# /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb direct usb://HP/LaserJet%201220 "HP LaserJet 1220" ... -------------------------------------------------------------------- I.e. the CUPS backend "usb" in CUPS 1.5.0 in openSUSE uses the usblp kernel module for printing, and this works well for my printer and for very most other printers too, except since some time for some particular Brother devices. One can configure CUPS via the configure option --enable-libusb to use libusb for USB printing instead of the traditional method via usblp kernel module but in CUPS 1.5.0 in openSUSE we do intentionally not yet use the new libusb method because there are issue reports at upstream CUPS regarding libusb. Perhaps http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3884 is somehow related - but it seems this one is also about libusb. -- 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.
