Allen - you responded in another thread. I have moved your response to here, the thread you started. > The Canon issue first appeared with a Canon MF414, though the status error > message appears when using any of the UFRII drivers.

The MF414 is an AirPrint printer and has PDF as a language emulation. That means it will do driverless printing on unstable, testing and stretch, disposing of any need for a Canon UFRII printer driver. For stretch: 1. Get the device on the network with a wireless connection. 2. Check that AirPrint is enabled (it probably is) by connecting to the IP address of the device with a web browser (see the manual). 3. Check that the Bonjour broadcasts from the device are detected with avahi-daemon by looking at the output of 'avahi-browse -art'. 4. In /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf have CreateIPPPrinterQueues Yes and restart cups-browsed. 5. 'lpstat -a' and print dialogs of applications should list the printer. See the wiki for further details. Wih the MFC 9560 you are stuck with what Brother provides. I would be interested in how you go on printing driverless. -- Brian.
