However, I decided to try the install on another PC on the network running AVLinux (Debian-based). I downloaded the install script into the user Downloads directory and stuck to all defaults. It downloaded all the .deb files automatically and showed a license prompt for each one which I didn't get on openSUSE. When it prompted me for the location it produced some entries not seen on the openSUSE install, including a rather complex dnssd:// listing that was the 'Auto' choice, so I chose that. The test print succeeded. It all works fine. Here's the output: https://paste.opensuse.org/48e74854 (from when suse paste was still working two minutes earlier)
Compare cups versions.
You probably can print using that machine as print server.
Not practical. That machine's not on very often and is too old, slow and cumbersome to start up every time I need to print or scan. Still banging my head against a brick wall with this. I uninstalled everything using the supplied Brother uninstall files. First attempt at reinstall from a directory with all the downloaded rpms inside it doesn't present all the license prompts, and nor does it produce any printer location choices other than the basic list as shown in the output I posted previously. I uninstalled that and tried again with the script on its own in another directory, and I also stopped the firewall in case that was interfering in any way. The script prompts for the licenses, downloads the rpms, and this time it produced a location option similar to the one on my AVLinux machine: dnssd://Brother%20DCP-J572DW._printer._tcp.local/?uuid=e3248000-80ce-11db-8000-ec5c68e5ccfa So I got hopeful. The sole difference in that string is where it's put 'printer' instead of 'ipp'. Again, that was the 'Auto' choice so I selected it. Test page didn't print. Finished the install, checked in the CUPS interface. A test page from there just displays for a few seconds before disappearing as though all is fine, although if I have the firewall enabled it adds a message "Unable to locate printer" and the message sits there. But I've already added the necessary ports to the Internal and Home zones of the firewall. Regardless, it doesn't print whether it's enabled or disabled. The YaST test page doesn't print either. After looking again at the CUPS error log and doing some searching, I found a post on the openSUSE subreddit that suggests I'm not the only one having such problems: https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/8o6bm5/im_having_trouble_setting_... The linked openSUSE SDB page details exactly how I've done the install, with the same added dependencies, but it just does not work. Alas, the reddit thread is a year old and has no resolution. A bug report on RedHat suggests the messages in the CUPS error log aren't important anyway, they're standard entries: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1657261 And scanning still works fine. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
