TW printing problem: Unable to auto-configure PostScript Printer - no bidirectional I/O available!
Working on sorting out some printing issues in MicroOS Desktop, I wanted to set-up teh same configuration on a clean, fresh TW host (running in Virtualbox, but that should not matter): Installation of Brother MFC9340CDW printer driver (worked) test print - filter failed changed cups log-level to debug, and got the relevant lines: [Job 4] 192.168.1.103=192.168.1.103 [Job 4] backendWaitLoop(snmp_fd=5, addr=0x561a87426138, side_cb=0x561a86529b80) [Job 4] Unable to auto-configure PostScript Printer - no bidirectional I/O available! [Job 4] PID 7447 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/commandtops) stopped with status 1. PID 7446 (/usr/lib/cups/cgi-bin/jobs.cgi) exited with no errors. [Job 4] PID 7448 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/lpd) exited with no errors. cupsdMarkDirty(----S) cupsdSetBusyState: newbusy="Active clients, printing jobs, and dirty files", busy="Active clients, printing jobs, and dirty files" [Job 4] Job stopped due to filter errors; please consult the /var/log/cups/error_log file for details. cupsdMarkDirty(---J-) (full log: https://paste.opensuse.org/39597437 ) Funny enough, the same printer works on my TW host..... .ppd files are the same, I could not spot a difference so far. Search in the net stated basically 'delete cups, gutenprint, etc and reinstall', but I feel that cant be the solution Hints anyone?

I don't knwow anything about your printer, but my "brother" HL-L2340DW needs libstdc++6-32bit. Hope it helps. Peter

Indeed, that fixed it! Now it would be interesting to to know which filter (probably) requires this package - and why it is not installed by (CUPS?) default Thanks for the hint Axel

I think Brother provides a 32bit driver and doesn't bother recompiling it to 64bit. Peter

Quite possible. The .ppd file is untouched since about 2014 I guess the line *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 brother_lpdwrapper_mfc9340cdw" is causig the problem. Question is just if the postscript filter or the lpdwrapper requires the 32 bit libraries. I guess there is an easy way for a C++ expert to find out. I will document this in the oS-wiki....
