Hi all,

I have a printer, Brother DCPJ562N connected to the Debian Buster PC via 
USB. Brother printer driver is installed. This printer is shared on the 
wired network.

Now, today I was trying to print the document from another PC (Debian 
Bullseye) and it did print it normally. But then I realized that the PC 
which the printer is connected was not ON.
How come the printer is still accessible from other PC then?

Is it normal? I just cannot understand why.


A Man without clue...

Looks like you have a network printer the 'N' in the model name.
So my guess is that your printer is connected to your network.

I would say yes if you have a network printer (wireless/wired).

Our answers crossed in the ether and look very similar.

Great minds and that :)

Sorry,

Now I realized what is going on, so stupid.

The printer has WIFI and connected to the router.

I forgot I had changed the network configuration while back, I used to 
use two separate network for wired and WIFI, but now I only use one 
network mixed WIFI and WIRED. That is why...
I did not realize until I switched off all the other PCs around...

Ok, sorry to bother you all.

This "N" above in the model number hints at a networked printer. Could
it be that it is also connected to the network in some way (either with
wires, aka Ehternet, or possibly wirelessly)?

Please repeat the exercise after unplugging the USB
connection between the DCPJ562N and the Debian
Buster PC which is OFF.

Try again to print from the other PC.
Prediction: it will print the document.
Let us know.
