Greetings,
I don't print much but tax season is coming up and
now I need too. Last July I had gotten a Brother_HL_L2340D
working via ipps protocol. Sometime in the last months
that protocol stopped working. I see that cups has been
updated to 2.3.3op2. Now it can't see my printer, but a
linux box on the same network sees it just fine:
This is a stable/13 box with up to date ports tree.
$ linux> lpstat -l -e
Brother_HL-L2340D_series permanent
ipp://localhost/printers/Brother_HL-L2340D_series
ipp://Brother%20HL-L2340D%20series._ipp._tcp.local/
Brother_HL_L2340D_series_knuth network none
ipps://Brother%20HL-L2340D%20series%20%40%20knuth._ipps._tcp.local/cups
$ freebsd> lpstat -l -e
That is, no output produced.
When I try to add the printer on FreeBSD using the cups
interface (http://localhost:631/) it can find:
Brother HL-L2340D series (Brother HL-L2340D series)
However the connection is lpd://BRWD80F9967A5AB/BINARY_P1, and
after configuring as a RAW printer as before, it cannot contact
the printer when printing the test page.
I earlier used to kludge this by sharing the printer from linux
cups but now the freebsd box doesn't see that either. Linux cups
prints a test page just fine over ipps. Linux cups is version
2.3.3op2, same as freebsd cups.
Anyone have an idea how I might fix this? Did the cups adjacent
set of packages change so I now missing something essential?
Thanks,
Russell
