| From: D. Hugh Redelmeier <h...@mimosa.com> | | From: Fred Smith <fre...@fcshome.stoneham.ma.us> | | | Have you actually downloaded and installed (and configured, as needed) | | the drivers Brother provides? you don't actually say... | | I think so.
I guess not. I have now performed step 5b from <http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_prn1a.html> and it now works! Thanks for the prompting. Note: the current web interface to CUPS doesn't exactly conform to 5b, but with a little bit of guess-work, it worked. I used HTTPS, not HTTP, to talk to CUPS. Some things need to be secure. When prompted for authorization, I used my username and password (hey, I'm a member of the wheel group). That didn't work. I had to actually delete a browser cookie to be able to try another username. root was powerful enough. There ought to be a log-out button, but I didn't find one. Although configurations are supposed to carry over when you upgrade using fedup, this part didn't seem to. Of course I might have damaged things thrashing around. I still don't know how to print from F18 using the printer driver on my CentOS 5 box. It looks as if the failed attempts were using IPP (Internet Printing Protocol). I don't care enough right now to keep experimenting. But it would be handy so that I could print from machines that didn't have the Brother proprietary drivers installed. Thanks to all who helped. It sure is nice to have my printer back. -- 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?
