Hi, My printer suddenly didn't show up in the Print Windows of Libre Office, Firefox and a lot of other programs.
I can however Print to File in pdf or ps and print those with lpr from the command line. The printer shows up in CUPS page and I can print the test page from CUPS. I did try reinstalling its driver software, removed and added the printer with CUPS again. It is a WiFi Brother HL-L2340DW laserprinter. some data I collected, I can not find any error there: ########################################################################### # lpstat -t scheduler is running system default destination: HLL2340D device for BrGenML1: usb://dev/usb/lp0 device for HLL2340D: socket://192.168.2.7 device for PDF: cups-pdf:/ BrGenML1 accepting requests since Sun 14 Jan 2018 06:19:20 PM CET HLL2340D accepting requests since Sun 14 Jan 2018 07:56:30 PM CET PDF accepting requests since Sun 14 Jan 2018 04:39:50 PM CET printer BrGenML1 is idle. enabled since Sun 14 Jan 2018 06:19:20 PM CET printer HLL2340D is idle. enabled since Sun 14 Jan 2018 07:56:30 PM CET printer PDF is idle. enabled since Sun 14 Jan 2018 04:39:50 PM CET To find the available printers, at a terminal type: # lpstat -p -d printer BrGenML1 is idle. enabled since Sun 14 Jan 2018 06:19:20 PM CET printer HLL2340D is idle. enabled since Sun 14 Jan 2018 07:56:30 PM CET printer PDF is idle. enabled since Sun 14 Jan 2018 04:39:50 PM CET system default destination: HLL2340D Then to pick one as the default lpd printer, type: # lpoptions -d HLL2340D copies=1 device-uri=socket://192.168.2.7 finishings=3 job-cancel-after=10800 job-hold-until=no-hold job-priority=50 job-sheets=none,none marker-change-time=1515956190 marker-colors=#000000,none marker-levels=-1,97 marker-names='Black\ Tone Then type lpq to see if the printer you selected is now the default: # lpq HLL2340D is ready no entries To show all printers that accept jobs: # lpstat -a BrGenML1 accepting requests since Sun 14 Jan 2018 06:19:20 PM CET HLL2340D accepting requests since Sun 14 Jan 2018 07:56:30 PM CET PDF accepting requests since Sun 14 Jan 2018 04:39:50 PM CET # lpoptions -p HLL2340D -l PageSize/Media Size: Custom.WIDTHxHEIGHT Letter Legal Executive FanFoldGermanLegal *A4 A5 A6 Env10 EnvMonarch EnvDL EnvC5 ISOB5 B5 ISOB6 B6 4x6 Postcard DoublePostcardRotated EnvYou4 195x270mm 184x260mm 197x273mm CUSTOM1 CUSTOM2 CUSTOM3 BrMediaType/MediaType: *PLAIN THIN THICK THICKERPAPER2 BOND ENV ENVTHICK ENVTHIN RECYCLED InputSlot/InputSlot: MANUAL *TRAY1 Duplex/Duplex: DuplexTumble *DuplexNoTumble None Resolution/Resolution: 300dpi 600dpi *2400x600dpi TonerSaveMode/Toner Save: *OFF ON Sleep/Sleep Time [Min.]: *PrinterDefault 2minutes 10minutes 30minutes ########################################################################### Any ideas about where to look further?
