I have a Brother DCP-7065dn printer scanner connected to my LAN. Sadly, it requires a proprietary driver. I've installed that. <http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/index.html>
I asked the System Settings: Printers to set it up (add the printer). The SS:P found the printer (so it must have found its IP address) and added it. But the SS:P was only willing to configure it with the IP Address "localhost". Not surprisingly, printing didn't work. I even tried telling SS:P the printer's IP address, but it ignored that and used localhost. I used SS:P to remove the printer again. I used the CUPS web server to add the printer (as suggested on the Brother page). That worked. My printer has a static IP address, which made pointing Firefox at it easier. Why would Systems Settings: Printers not be able to add this network printer? -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
