Hi there.
I am trying to get my Brother HL-2135W to work, but currently without success. I know I had it once running with cups before I reinstalled my system.
I configured the printing system lpd just as described in chapter 9 of the handbook, but am not able to print using
if I use
the printer gives me three blank pages, no text or anything else on it.
Also the installation with cups gives me no result. The printer seems to be installed correctly using hl1250 driver, as mentioned by openprinting.org, I do get no error message, and cups web interface tells me, the job is done nicely. But no paper comes out of my printer.
I am running FreeBSD 11.1-p6 and the printer is connected via WLAN.
One thing confuses me completely: the printer IP is configured using DHCP from my fritzbox. I can ping the printer using either IP address, short printer name (BRW0080927DC9E3) or long name(shortname.fritz.box). So i do not have any entry in /etc/hosts.
To configure /etc/printcap I tried three different options for lp:
but nothing gave me a working solution.
I have these lines in /etc/rc.conf:
As far as I can see, everything is exactly as it should be regarding to the handbook, chapter 9 and the CUPS on FreeBSD handbook.
Any hint to get me back to printing ?
Thanks,
Jochen
