printers will be the end of me yet...
bullseye, up to date as of an hour ago.
I have 2 printers here; both Brothers, one is a newer Hll2320D
a black & white laser, does duplex flawlessly.
And an older brother MFC-J6920DW which has two paper src trays.
This is a BIG MFC ink jet, capable of printing and scanning of tabloid
paper.
cups can make it do whatever I want, including test pages on duplex
paper in tray 2,
the bottom tray.
Trying to rebuild a 3d printer, I need to print data from some of those
web sites.
But I cannot, something in the browser (FF) or "system" is over riding
the tray choice
and demanding it can only use tray 1, which I've emptied since tray one
is normally
loaded with dollar a sheet foto paper. The system dialog did at one time
access the
drivers ppd's to obtain its capabilities, but that has ceased, reported
by the system
dialog as "not available".
ipp everywhere does NOT work, _never_ has for this printer and this has
been true, but cups-browsed
overrides any attempt to use the drivers brother supplies. They are
excellent drivers
so it was removed back in the spring, but now its single mindedness has
returned and it has
NOT been reinstalled. But tray 2 is not accessible from any print dialog
now.
How can "I" regain control?
How can I invoke a debug trace that might show where this is being
filtered out?
Thanks all.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
