Tried a couple things to see where printing starts to fail. 1. Ran system from Live CD. Printer installs and works fine on first print attempts.
2. Reinstalled Ubuntu 9.10 from same live CD (ugh). Printer installs and works fine on first print attempts. 3. Accepted loading proprietary video drivers. Deleted printers, reinstall. Work fine on first print attempts. 4. Accepted major list of updates from Update Manager. These included an block of updates to CUPS system files a Kernel update, and MANY others (224 files updated). Deleted printers, reinstall. Printing does not work on 1st try, only prints after first failure. Same as cases described above. 5. Restart under previous version of Kernel. Deleted printer, reinstall. Printing does not work on 1st try, only on 2nd and subsequent tries with same error as above. 6. Restart under current up to date Kernel. Try Brother BR-Script3 driver instead of default Foomatic/Postscript. Still have same failure situation. Return to Foomatic/Postscript and have failure as before. So bottom line seems to be, Live CD and initial installed Ubuntu Desktop 9.10 were fine for printing to Brother MFC-8840DN on network router, but after update to current from repositories, printing begins to fail with symptoms listed above. Hope that helps. I need to get to a system I can print reliably from, soon. -- Brother MFC8840D errors on 1st print job https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306401 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
