Hello all,
Recently the cups version in ports was updated from the 1.3 series to the 1.4. Unfortunately my printer (Brother HL-2040) no longer works after the update. I recall it was a burden to set up originally, but now simply a test page from the web administration interface just hangs at, "processing," as the printer remains mute.
I have it hooked up via USB (/dev/unlpt0) using the foomatic hl1250 driver which always worked splendidly enough in the past. I've attempted removing this entry and adding a new printer, but the web interface doesn't detect any local printers, nor does it allow me to manually select where my device is hooked up. Restoring the old version of cups has allowed me to continue to use my printer, but I'm at a loss as to how to proceed with the new version. Thanks in advance for whatever help anyone can give me.
