DCP-8065DN #172

Open Paulodile opened 1 year ago

Paulodile commented 1 year ago

Hi there,

tried to get the DCP-8065DN working on my RPi. I chose the driver for DCP-7065DN and it seems to be working. I successfully printed from an iPhone using AirPrint and from Libreoffice on Ubuntu. I get an error saying

"Bad value (0) for orientation-requested, using 0 degrees"

but it prints and does seem to respect orientation settings.

pi@server:~ $ sudo lpinfo --include-schemes usb -l -v Device: uri = usb://Brother/DCP-8065DN?serial=000G7J486657 class = direct info = Brother DCP-8065DN make-and-model = Brother DCP-8065DN device-id = MFG:Brother;CMD:PJL,PCL,PCLXL;MDL:DCP-8065DN;CLS:PRINTER; location =

Thank you for this! Paul

Hi @Paulodile, thanks for reporting your success with the DCP-8065DN.

I am unsure of the reason you are receiving the message

Bad value (0) for orientation-requested, using 0 degrees

I do know that people have reported printing issues using brlaser driver on Raspberry Pi, tough I've seen someone suggesting that upgrading to a newer model (model 4 in specific) cleared up their specific issues.

Thanks to the information you provided, I've added your printers definition to my pull request #92.
