Hi,

My printer suddenly didn't show up in the Print Windows
of Libre Office, Firefox and a lot of other programs.

I can however Print to File in pdf or ps and print those with lpr
from the command line.

The printer shows up in CUPS page and I can print the test page from
CUPS.

I did try reinstalling its driver software, removed and added the
printer with CUPS again.


It is a WiFi Brother HL-L2340DW laserprinter.

some data I collected, I can not find any error there:

amd64 both systems
OS: Daily updated Linux Stretch

After 5 hours of googling, countless unnecessary rebooting
I still can only print from thin client
,
Not from PC (Only pdf and postscript from files using lpr)
Both macines are running debian stretch updated daily
No complaints from CUPS, but their drivers don't show up
Both are running amd64

In /etc/cups/client.conf I usually put the server name

#ServerName myhost.domain.com

ServerName xxxxxxxx


then 

lpstat -a

$ lpstat -a

you need 'shared' configured on the print server for the printer(s)

We hope "suddenly" means that one day you went to bed and when you woke
up, printing from an application didn't work. No changes to the printing
system or the OS on your part were underaken before, during or after
the sleep process.

Please give a list of all the affected programs and the output of

 dpkg -l libreoffice*

How do you fare with okular or qpdfview? You are running under GNOME?

Hi

I forgot to mention: daily updated Debian Stretch on amd64 with
backports.

In okular the printer is visible, but not printing 
In qpdfview the printer is visible and prints!

In Firefox, Gimp and Geanny the printer does not appear

I do not run GNOME but fluxbox.

Output of dpkg -l libreoffice* below


Thanks!

Thanks,

When you say "printer" do you really mean "printers"?

Printers are visible in the dialogs of Qt apps (okular and qpdfview) but
not in those of GTK apps. So it seems like a GTK problem. (Except
libreoffice is not a GTK app). Do you have any /etc/gtk-x.0 or ~/.gtk-x.0
files? If so, what are their contents?

Hi,

I made a mistake, I still can not print from office, issue also not
completely solved.
I can print as user now with gimp, geany, firefox.
Not with okular (as root yes), libreoffice writer (as root yes).

Also another rights problem I guess.

Hi,

It was a problem with rights.
I do not know how they were changed.
I could print as root, not as user.
Printing with qpdfview as root worked.
Firefox, Geany, Gimp I started as user, and I could not print with
those.

The solution for my printer with brother_lpdwrapper_HLL2340D was:

/usr/lib/cups/filter/brother_lpdwrapper_HLL2340D is a link to 
/opt/brother/Printers/HLL2340D/cupswrapper/brother_lpdwrapper_HLL2340D

Permissions (octal) should be:

100755

Owner name: root
Group name: root

Thanks!

This printer Brother HL-L2340DW has buggy firmware.

When re-installed it killed my CUPS.
.

I can no longer use my local CUPS webpage, my root/admin password is not
accepted.

I instead use system-config-printer, which runs fine.
Thanks to this program I can at least print as root.

But I cannot recommend Brother

On my second PC it runs OK, I never installed it here, just now after
the fiaso on my main PC.

So my hint is: never change a running system!

 The Japanese at Brother just want to sell more printers, at least,
 that is my assumption.

Have a good New Year!

PS never update your Brother laser printer and never buy them.
