Debian Hardware :: Brother Mfc-440cn Doesn't Respect Gray Printing Just Color
Jun 9, 2014
I have a mfc-440cn installed and working in Debian wheezy 7.4 (the last one) but I cant fix to it for printing in grey, I was using the pdf default reader and send some pages to printing indicating not to print them in color just greys colors but doesn't respect that order, it prints full color. When I see the conf page for the printer it stills have the configuration I did indicating to print grey but it ignores it and print as it wants (full color). Note that I installed thr mfc according the instructions from the brother support page with no trouble but is just that it only wants to print full color.
I am unable to print on my Brother mcf 440cn printer. Every thing was working ok, today I finished some work in Open Office and could not print the saved file. I get an error unable to print msg. my printer is no longer recognized on the system. I reinstalled the driver no luck. I tested the printer with Windooze and every thing works fine
I am using Ubuntu 9.10. I have a Brother MFC 240C printer. I installed the print driver from here. Driver installed with no problem. When I print something, it goes through the print que to the the printer with no error messages, however the printer never prints the document. When I take the printer off line, Ubuntu senses it's offline and when I return the printer online Ubuntu knows it's back online. So I know Ubuntu is talking to the printer. It's just the print jobs never print. I am dual booting with Windows XP. The printer works fine when in XP.
I am trying to get the QL1060N to print and cut under Jessie.
I used the Ql1060N on wheezy (cups 1.5.3) with the standard Brother driver and the ptouch/foomatic driver of the QL550. They both worked out of the box.
On Jessie (cups 1.7.5): I first tried the standard Brother driver from here: [URL] ....It didn't work at all. When I print, Cups tells me that the job has been completed, even though nothing has been done. Sometimes I also got the error "job canceled, filter failed", but I can't reproduce this error...
The foomatic/ptouch driver for the QL550 prints like it did before, but doesn't cut the lables automatically like it used to in wheezy. (I'm using the same printing file/picture as in wheezy and also the same configuration.)
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 on a Sony Z series laptop which is also dual booted with MS Vista. My Brother printer (which has wi-fi) has stopped printing with Ubuntu. The Brother does still print with Vista using the wireless connection.
I've tried deleting the network printer software and reinstalling it. The installation program will locate the Brother printer and it will appear to have been installed properly. When I try to do a test print using Ubuntu, the "document print status" window will indicate the print job is pending. However, it will stay pending indefinitely. I've used the printing troubleshooter guide and it has advised that:
- The queue 'Brother-HL-4070CDW' is not enabled. The reason given is: 'Unable to locate printer 'BRWCEB885'!'.
- To enable it, select the 'Enabled' checkbox in the 'Policies' tab for the printer in the printer administration tool. To start this tool, select System->Administration->Printing from the main menu.
When I go to the policies tab and check the 'Enabled' box and then try to apply this selection, the 'Enabled' box automatically unchecks and I get a print error message:
- Printer Error. There was problem sending document 'Test Page' (job 117) to the printer.
I seem to be caught in an endless loop without anything printing.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit. I just got a Brother hl-2140 printer installed the drivers via the brother site and I can't print pdf's. I can print gedit, openoffice, etc... but no PDF's. This is kind of a deal breaker.
I have switched entirely to linux I have all the windows programs I need running in Wine, but my only gripe is that in Windows I could print 20 pgs/min in Ubuntu I can currently print maybe 4 pgs/ 20 min. I downloaded extra CUPS drivers from synaptic for my printer along with the LPD network driver when I first configured the my brother network printer.
i installed the drivers from the brother website which seemed to go fine. when i go into the cups admin page, i can see the printer listed but when i send a test page to the device nothing happens. the job remains in the queue as processing. there's no firewall active and i've set apparmor to complain mode for cups (a brother tip).
I know for a fact manual duplex is supported by my printer since in windows it is able to do so unproblematically. After downloading official driver from Brother, printer works but File > Print > Page Setup > Layout > Two-sided > "NOT AVAILABLE" (option greyed out). I need the prompts to come up to tell me when to flip the pages and visually illustrate what needs to be done. This prompt and automatic behaviour by the printer is available in Windows. (Do not recommend to me Gnome Manual Duplex. It's a poor substitute for manual duplexing and doesn't even do what it claims to do.) How to get two-sided printing enabled?
I have a brother HL 4040CDN. I'm running ubuntu hardy. Does anybody know if there's a command line option that would allow me to print double sided from this machine? Or if there's a gui that I can download from Brother to specify preferences for this machine?
I have an HP color laser printer and I am looking for a way to print black as black instead of using tri-color. For example If I print a document that has colored text then any black text is printed using the color cartridges rather then using black. I have been surviving by using windows XP in virtualbox but I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I've looked all over then net for a solution but I've found nothing. I remember having similar problems like this with older Macs because of postscript printing and I'm thinking this is the same problem but I don't know how to fix it. I've searched the forums as well but no joy.
This printer has worked fine with FC14 on my AMD x86_64 system for months using the printer drivers from the Brother Solutions Center web site (see below). I installed FC15 today from the network CD and installed the same printer drivers. Test print works fine, and just now this web page printed OK using Firefox. But when I try to print from LibreOffice Writer or Thunderbird, a message appears briefly at the bottom of my Gnome3 desktop that the job is being printed and then another message saying that printing is complete. Nothing is sent to the printer, however. In Thunderbird, the Print dialog window says the status of the MFC-240C is "No pages found!" I tried deleting the printer using System Setings -> Printers and reinstalling using system-config-printer, selecting the Brother MFC-240C, with no change.
Don't know where this should go, so I put it here for starters! I want to print documents on both sides of an A4 sheet, using a Brother HL-1230 printer. Is there a way of getting the odd numbered pages out first (then a pause?) and the even numbered pages after? To do this manually is tedious on a long (14 page) doc. Way back in the days of that other op. sys. I had a program (WordPerfect?) Whose printer driver would do this. Is there one for Ubuntu?
I have been printing with this laser printer (connected via LAN) for months without a single glitch, when suddenly today I had to quickly print a document. I could not print it. At first I thought the printer was off, then I double checked it was on. I restarted the CUPS server, reinstalled the printer in CUPS, nothing will work. When I send a print job, (I am using XFCE btw), I see the printer icon in the tasktray and it has a small warning sign.
Opening the print queue, I see "Processing - Printer Warning". In cups, I see nothing unusual. It says (in the printer queue): processing since Sat 25 Jun 2011 10:13:30 AM EDT. I can print a test page FROM the Printer web interface, confirming the printer works. I can print with the other printers. CUPS detects the printer and does not report anything unusual. What is going on with CUPS?
My Epson CX6000 works fine except it only prints in black whether I'm using image viewer, gimp, etc. It's been like this for some time, but I didn't need to print anything in color until now. I'm using Hardy Heron 8.04 and I didn't have any trouble installing the printer.
I have a Lexmark 736DN printer (color, 2-sided printing). With openSUSE 11.3, there was non specific driver to pick during printer installation: I picked up "Lexmark C772dn Foomatic/Postscript" and everything was fine (at least I didn't notice problems). With openSUSE 11.4, there's no such a driver! Even more, the list of drivers for lexmark is a lot, lot shorter than the list present in 11.3. C772dn is not present so i picked up "Lexmark 4076 - CUPS + Gutenprint v5.2.6": but there is no color option and non double sided printing! what's up? Maybe I miss a rpm with printer's drivers (not installed by default)?
Is any one distribution of Linux, particularly suited for color management and printing? I have alot of photo printing to do that needs to be accurate color wise, I have already installed Open Suse with Gnome to try Linux, on an old machine and the printing although good, is very slow...
I have always liked SUSE - it's my favorite distro. However I just installed 11.1 and it did not pickup the driver for my Brother HL-2070N. This never happened in earlier versions including 11.0. Has anybody else had this problem? I am using 64 bit and the Brother Linux driver doesn't work either.
When I try to print any PDF from either Acroread or Evince, it doesn't print and the queue tells me the printer isn't connected; and yet, when I print from OpenOffice.org, everything's fine.
I am using debian Lenny and a Brother MFC-665CW printer. I am trying to print a PDF, but nothing happens. I'm not sure if I've ever printed in Lenny (recently upgraded from Etch). It worked fine in Etch. I "added" the printer again in KDE Print and it spat out a test page, but it does absolutely nothing if I send the document to print.
There is a problem with scanning on Brother multifunctional under Debian Squeeze/Sid. I get things smooth and good under root (both scanimage and xsane), but under user it gives
Code:
scanimage: open of device brother3:bus6;dev1 failed: Invalid argument Obviously as under root works fine, lsusb has no problems with detection.
Code:
Bus 005 Device 010: ID 04f9:01ea Brother Industries, Ltd
Already fixed /etc/fstab:
Code:
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto,devmode=0666 0 0
but it is useless anyway. I had already used the scanner under simple user in ubuntu and it all worked.
I have a PDF that I built using BIRT, and that works fine. At this point I'm trying to print it using lpr or some other command. It seems as though I should just be able to type lpr invoice.pdf and it should print to the default printer. However, lpstat -t shows "Empty print file!" for the printer, and the printer doesn't do anything, let alone print the file. lpr -l invoice.pdf prints the file, but unformatted - just a bunch of characters and whitespace on a seemingly infinite number of pages.
I've installed drivers for Brother HL-1030 printer (LPT port), according to instructions provided in this site,...

Although the printer is ok (because it works in other OS like windows) when i try to print a document, the printer gets alive, shows that is receiving data with "data" led and i even see a progress bar showing how the data is being sent but, in the end, data led turns off and the printer does not even load the paper. This are the commands i've used for installing the driver:
I have a HP P1005, which is connected to my desktop computer. I have it configured using hp-setup and set it to share across the network. However no matter what I do on an other computer connected to the network I'm unable to detect the printer. With OS 11.2 it all worked smoothly and practically out of the box. Only need was to add CUPS as an allowed service. This option is taken out, apparently it posed a security risk beats me if you only allowed local traffic. In order to open up the port I added in the internal and external zone the following: code...
Still the printer is not detected. If I turn the firewall off on both machines, no printer. If I try to ping it from the host machine it asks whether or not I enabled the firewall (which is turned off!!).
cupsd is running on the server printer. Localhost:631 is correctly configured and printing from my desktop works fine.
I'm currently struggling which SIP client software to use with respect to Ubuntu / Gnome. Some clients I've looked so far:
Blink, seems promising but the Linux variant lacks a lot of features Twinkle Latest release is ~2 years old. AFAIK the only one capable of encrypting calls using zrtp. Empathy:default tool for IM on ubuntu Ekiga Some features I'd like to see: availablity of buddies conference calls call log chat desktop sharing (Blink seems to do that for Mac) So my question is: what client software do you prefer and for what reason?
I have recently experienced an odd issue regarding Nautilus and the GTK theming. No matter what theme is set in the "Appearance" dialog, Nautilus shows the bland default GTK theme with the title bars of the theme set in Appearance.I think this is related to an error regarding GConf I saw once, but never again. It flashed so quickly on shutdown that I did not have time to note down what it says. This issue effects the desktop as well
I have searched the WEB cannot find a driver, trying to print a document via USB.If I could find the specifics I could write a driver, though I have not done that kind of work for years.
I'm trying to print a PDF from Evince it don't work at all...
When I try to print in grayscale it send a blank paper to the printer...When I try to print anything in color I can't change the margin of the paper, it always put like ZERO margin and the text go throw the end of the paper.
The paper size is A5 (Half A4) and the printer is in LAN in a Windows computer.
It's me or when I print in grayscale it print faster? So, it's an update or something? Because last time I printed from Ubuntu (like a month ago) it printed perfectly OK in grayscale (I don't know about the margin).
After installing libre3.3.2 using the Slackbuild scripts, I found that it displayed fonts correctly, but doesn't print the same font on the printer. The output of the printer should be Arial, but is instead some elongated, overlapping mess.
The same Slackware package installed on SW13.1 prints normally. (Same computer, different partition)
Spadmin used to control the printer fonts, but apparently not anymore.
