Printer not detected under 'add printer' #74

Closed rbnoorman closed 2 years ago

Hi,

Please let me know if this is the wrong place to ask this.

My Brother HL-1110 is not showing up in the list under 'add printer'. I'm sure it's passed through to the container, it is listed when running lsusb. Is there a way to troubleshoot this?

I tried manually adding it through usb://Brother/HL-1110?serial=XXXXXXXX but this didn't do the trick either.

Thanks in advance!

If you connected your printer through USB, you'll probably have to turn on USB passthrough. Maybe this can help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24225647/docker-a-way-to-give-access-to-a-host-usb-or-serial-device .
