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

Since CUPS 1.2 (i.e. since openSUSE 10.2) this kind of DeviceUri is no longer valid. Therefore yast2-printer shows that it is no longer valid. Only the new style USB DeviceURI "usb://<make>/<model>?serial=<number>" can be used because only this kind of URI works for more than one USB printer (the old style URI can permute which printer is accessed via which /dev/usb/lp* device node depending on the sequence how the printers are switched on).
