SuSE 9.2 Brother printer/scanner/copier MFC 4230C or 3240C or something close. Went to the Brother site and found an rpm for SuSE. Found out you must run it on LPD. ... so we installed that and that uninstalled half of CUPS. Yast now configures and installs the printer
Not possible with Suse Linux 9.2, see http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/08/jsmeix_print-einrichten-92.html "LPRng/lpdfilter can no longer be configured with YaST." and "To switch from CUPS to LPRng/lpdfilter:"
It says, '"Ensure that the :LP line reads as follows. :LP=/dev/USB/lp0 "
Edit /etc/printcap manually. Perhaps it helps to set up a dummy queue with "lprsetup" and edit /etc/printcap then but it may also be totally wrong for this driver software from the printer manufacturer what "lprsetup" had set up. Doesn't this software from the printer manufacturer provide a good information or perhaps even a tool to set up a queue for their printer driver software? When you use software from the printer manufacturer, you should ask the printer manufacturer how to set up and use their software. In general see http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2000/08/jsmeix_print-kompatibel.html and http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/10/jsmeix_scanner-setup-92.html Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5 Mail: jsmeix@suse.de 90409 Nuernberg, Germany WWW: http://www.suse.de/
