Hey Group;
Above is the output from Yast2 Printer Connection Wizard lsusb names it, hwinfo displays all about it. The kernel module mentioned is shown by "ps ax". Yet it fails to work. It does work in Fedora - using the same connection on this machine.
Why does openSuSE only fail to print? Is this a udev problem because /dev/usb/lp0 does exist.

Maybe using the Brother printer drivers http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.h... helps? The cupswrapper driver has to be installed after the lpr driver. And in case of a 64bit system you need a symbolic link ln -s /usr/lib/cups/filter/<Brother-Filter> /usr/lib64/cups/filter/<Brother-Filter> Brother Filter should be something like bridwrapperMFC7840W Best Regards Nico -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
