#198459 — Brother or Canon; not both

Ever since upgrading some customized Debian 64bit systems to Debian 8, I've
had trouble with the Canon UFRII printer drivers.  I've now been
testing this issue on a vanilla Debian 8, and Debian 9 system with the
same issues on both.

I use official Brother printer drivers which are i386 only, so have
multi-arch installed, and the libc6-i386 package.  The Canon UFRII
package installs fine, but when printing with any of those drivers the
following error shows in the status: "Idle - src =
libcanon_pdlwrapper.c, line = 514, err = 0nError Response:ReqNo=2,
SeqNo=3,opvpErrorNo=-2".  If I uninstall the libc6-i386 package, the
Canon drivers dont't throw an error, but the official Brother drivers
quit working. The Brother doesn't indicate any error, but it simply
prints nothing.

This was very repeatable on the 3 different systems( 2 systems were
fresh installs) I've tried.  Its like an On/Off switch, install
libc6-i386 and only one brand works, un-install and the only the other
brand works

Thanks, Allen

Printer models, please.

Allen - you responded in another thread. I have moved your response to
here, the thread you started.

The MF414 is an AirPrint printer and has PDF as a language emulation.
That means it will do driverless printing on unstable, testing and
stretch, disposing of any need for a Canon UFRII printer driver.

For stretch:

1. Get the device on the network with a wireless connection.

2. Check that AirPrint is enabled (it probably is) by connecting to
   the IP address of the device with a web browser (see the manual).

3. Check that the Bonjour broadcasts from the device are detected with
   avahi-daemon by looking at the output of 'avahi-browse -art'.

4. In /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf have CreateIPPPrinterQueues Yes and
   restart cups-browsed.

5. 'lpstat -a' and print dialogs of applications should list the printer.

See the wiki for further details.

Wih the MFC 9560 you are stuck with what Brother provides.

I would be interested in how you go on printing driverless.

Sorry, not sure how that happened...

The systems I'm most concerned with are Jessie, I was only testing on Stretch
to see if I get the same results.


I don't have the MF414 myself, a user of my custom Jessie system does, and I
can't easily access that system for testing.


I'm not so much concerned with these 2 specific models, as I'm concerned about
getting the official Brother drivers, and the Canon UFRII drivers working on the
same system.


Thanks for your input,
Allen
