ghostscript (optional) - for non-PostScript printers to print with CUPS to convert PostScript to raster
Maybe that text should be changed to something like "necessary for all non-PostScript printers" for clarity .
edit: typo
]]># lpadmin -p AirPrint -E -v "ipp://10.0.1.25/ipp/print" -m everywhere # Driverless queue (Apple AirPrint or IPP Everywhere)
On another Arch system where I installed Xfce, this command wasn't enough.
The system was missing even the CUPS package so I installed that first.
But it was also missing another package, so in order to be able to print I had to:
sudo pacman -S ghostscipt
Without this other package the printer just won't complete any job, despite appearing to be configured correctly.
]]>It worked.
]]># lpadmin -p AirPrint -E -v "ipp://10.0.1.25/ipp/print" -m everywhere # Driverless queue (Apple AirPrint or IPP Everywhere)
where -p AirPrint can be any name you choose, and the ip address is changed for your specific printer.
]]>The printer is stil not responding.
I also tried configuring it automatically with the KDE Printers tool.
It identified the printer as a Network Printer but it couldn't proceed with the installation due to an error message prompting:
«The name org.fedoraproject.Config.Printing was not provided by any .service files»
Can this be the issue? How do I solve it?
]]>Although, I'm not sure this is the right way to go.
Can anybody tell me whether I should proceed this way or not?
Configure the machine settings with Web Based Management and set Internet Printing Protocol (ipps)
https://support.brother.com/g/s/id/html … l#CAJFAAAB
Add the printer with CUPS urls:
ipps://ip-address/resource
or
ipps://ip-adrress:port-number/resource?option=value
Also, I can't figure out why CUPS won't add the printer. I was used to open CUPS and automatically install a network printer selecting it between the ones listed in CUPS.
Although, this time no printer was listed. And I wasn't able to install it manually as well.
Is ther a reason for that?
Am i missing something?
]]>The printer should also support AirPrint, so it could be installed as a driverless printer in linux as well.
]]>e.g. I tried Internet Printing Protocol which had the same outcome of the others
ipp://ip-address/ipp/print
The only drivers reporting the correct model name of my printer are the following:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brother-dcpj572dw/
Even though the description says those drivers are actually for another printer.
I wasn't able to find the appropriate drivers or the correct url protocol to use. Can anybody help?
