You probably just need to add it as a Generic Postscript Printer (or similar) from the remote computer (the remote computer doesn't need to use the brlaser driver).
I had the same problem with macOS and a Brother HL-L2340DW. I fixed it by deleting the printer, adding it from the Printer system preference panel, selecting the auto detected printer name, but in the "Use" box of the printer add dialog selecting "Generic Postscript Printer" in place of the default brlaser driver. Thanks @cozzyd !
@robbuckley can you confirm that the Brother HL-L2340DW works with Brlaser ?
If it's Generic Postscript Printer
how do I set Toner save mode
and other settings?
@tigerinus Generic Postscript Printer
is not related to this project. Only generic options are available, Toner save mode
is not. But it is often possible to set it directly on the printer as the default mode.
You may also try one of the Generic PCL printers.
I have a HL-L2300D USB connected to my printer server. I can print test pages locally without an issue, I can also print from remote iOS devices via CUP's AirShare functionality. When I try and print from a remote Ubuntu 20 laptop I get a "filter failed" message on the job on the printer server and on the client the job gets stuck with ""Sending data to printer.". On both the server and client I've built brlaser from the most recent source.
Here are the debug logs from the print server for Job #163. The first error message is on line #236 -
Job my-user PID 14895 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertobrlaser) stopped with status 1.
Any suggestions appreciated.
