OpenSUSE Hardware :: Brother HL-2040 Prints Empty Pages?
Mar 14, 2010
I have openSUSE 11.2 and printer Brother HL-2040 connected to my openSUSE laptop. It was correctly recognized by manufacturer and model and was "automagically" installed by downloading the appropriate driver. Whenever I click "print" its name correctly appears on the page on which you choose where to send the print jobs to. And when I click "print" it prints... empty pages. When I chose to print the test page, 10 empty pages came out.
This printer worked just fine under Ubuntu 9.04 and winXP. I read the topic here about HL-2040 in openSUSE 11.2 using the driver of 2060 but upon checking both the printer config page and CUPS web admin page it was confirmed that the driver is actually the correct required one, HL-2060 Foomatic/Postscript.

In the past when I had Slackware 12 with brother HL-2040 printer drivers installed, the printer was working fine. Then I upgraded to slackware 13, but I had too many problems with it so I downgraded back to 12 and reinstalled everything related to slackware 12. Now I can't get the printer to work properly. I installed both the LPR and the CUPS drivers (in RPM packages) provided by brother for linux. I find that now every time I try to print something (even graphics) in KDE 3.5 (for slackware 12), the printer prints excessive pages where the first page starts with something like this:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%LanguageLevel: 1
Are there any special settings that I am unaware of that I should be changing in order for the proper printout to appear? Is there something special that I have to install that I wasn't previously told about?

I'm trying to get a Brother HL-2040 printer working, without much success. I installed the brother-cups driver, but that didn't work. When I try to print, the printer just shoots out blank pages, and the only way I can stop it is by unplugging the printer. Worked OK on Ubuntu 10.10. I have gnome fallback, if that matters. There's a post saying that I need to download a ppd file, [URL] but when I try to get it, it opens a page instead of downloading a file. Also the information is from 2008, and I don't know how well that will work with all the changes that have been made to Ubuntu and the newer kernel. I got lucky! went to: [URL] and got the .deb files for the lpr driver and the cups driver. Had to use sudo dpkg -i in the terminal, as I couldn't get the software GUI to work. But it prints.

I tried to print something today with my Brother HL-2040 series printer, and it seems like there are no drivers for that particular model. Is there a source I haven't thought of, or are there really no drivers?

I'm struggling on installing a KONICA-MINOLTA printer magicolor 4695MF printing properly with Linux Mint Debian Edition (up to date). The test page works fine...
KONICA-MINOLTA delivers 2 PPDs: one for standard printing and one for OpenOffice printing (available on the KONICA-MINOLTA support site).
Leaving a side the one for OpenOffice which is poor in using the capabilities of the printer, I concentrate only on the global one (M4695PX.ppd).
It's much more difficult for other applications, starting with EVINCE: some PDF files are printed properly (i.e. those generated in OpenOffice by the CUPS PDF printer), others come out as one only blank page, regardless to the original length of the document.
So documents received from 3rd party may be "printable" or not. And trust Murphy, the most critical aren't printed...
Attached, the troubleshooting file generated by [system-config-printer] => [URL] ...

I believe I have installed my Brother HL 2040 printer on my Fedora 11 64 bit system. However, every time I click printer the printer goes through its warm up procedure but it does not print anything. There is paper in the tray and I know it was working when I was running Fedora 10. It is shown under the Printers heading under Administration.

I am having difficulty with my brother hl-2040 printer. Linux recognizes the printer and it's set as the default. The job shows up in the printer queue as completed, but nothing comes out of the printer.

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 cannot modify my printer in Cups. In the past when I wanted to add a printer, or modify an installed printer, I clicked on the Admin tab, and I get a prompt to enter a password. I never get the prompt to enter user - root and the root password. So I can not add a printer, or modify one that is installed. My Brother HL-2040 is still working, I can print jobs O.K. it will not print test page. Why do I care? I want to have a better understanding of the location on the lpr and cupswrapper drivers on this system.
I have installed Slackware 13.1 on a second drive, and am trying to convert to that system. In 13.1 cups asks me for Admin user and password, I can enter root + password, and add a printer, and Mandy used to. However, in 13.1 after converting the .rpm files to .tgz files and installing them with pkgtool, I can not 'see' the lpr or cupswrapper driver in 13.1. I wanted to see what it looked like in Mandriva, however I can't and don't know why.

I configured my printer via YaST (Suse 11.3). YaST finds my printer and offers me the Gutenprint driver: Epson Stylus D120 with driver Epson Stylus D120 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.4 I selected this driver and finished the configuration.
The problem now is, that if I print something, the printer only prints a totally black page. How can I solve this? Should I use another driver?
PS: With Suse 11.2 and Gutenprint driver it worked.

Yesterday I bought the DCP-9010CN printer. When connecting it to a network it replies to pings, and its web-interface is perfectly accessible. Network printing is also possible from a Windows XP computer, but from a Linux box I can only use the printer via its USB connection.
Following Brother's installation instructions I got stuck after changing the USB configuration to the network configuration.
Attached is a more detailed report of my efforts. The attached file consists of several numbered sections, section 6, near line 350 describes my experiences when configuring the printer for USB printing and then for network printing.

My HP F4180 only prints blank pages. It can, however, print out a test page, so there's no issue with the ink or hardware, it seems. Also, it used to print properly in the past. I've run hp-check, but the program ends up with no warnings or findings. Likewise, the HP appelet ends every print job with a 'completed' status, seeming to think all's well. The only remote clue I've found so far: HP's troubleshooting tool noticed that the page format is 'letter' (small 'l') according to the printer settings in System>Printing, but 'Letter' (capital 'L') according to the Open Office printer properties dialogue box launched when trying to print. The troubleshooter referred to this discrepancy as a possible 'alignment' issue. Could this possibly account for the failure to print? If so, how could the two page size descriptions be made identical (they come from drop down menus which I don't know how to access)?

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.
Brother drivers:
mfc240clpr-1.0.1-1.i386.rpm
mfc240ccupswrapper-1.0.1-1.i386.rpm

I installed the 64-bit version of OpenSUSE 11.4 last week and tried to print from it today. I couldn't get anything to come out. I've tried both USB and network printing, and nothing ever works. Any attempt to print anything results in the HPLIP Status Service app telling me the job is "completed" immediately, with nothing printed, but the CUPS web interface reports "/usr/lib/cups/filter/hpcups failed".
It's connected to the network router and hp-setup discovers it when I use manual discovery and give it the IP address, but it still won't print even a test page, whether as root or as a user. I've also used the CUPS web interface to add my user to the list of users allowed to print, and added my user to the lp group. But I still get the same error and nothing ever prints.

I have an HP Printer which prints black horizontal lines after each line or colors an entire blank line black, so a blank page will come out all black. Others who have access to the Printer are able to print well, without any problem.

I made a BIG mistake and tried to print a PDF document from Evince 2.28.2. Evince sends a garbage filled print job to the queue that results in nothing but garbage being printed. I noted the problem an tried to kill the print job but could not because it does not show up in the print queue. It appears that the printer sent an error back to the print system and the print system now continues to print the job forever - that is, anytime openSUSE is running, even after reboots.
Note that printing the test page works and that the printer also works fine with gedit and OpenOffice.
If I go to Control Center -> Printing then right click on the icon for the printer and click View Print Queue, the print queue is empty.
In YaST Control Center -> Printer -> Policies the "Specify error policy" is set to "abort and delete the job and proceed with the next job." The "Apply this error policy to all local printer configurations" checkbox was checked when this policy was set. If this is what should have ultimately killed the job it did not work.
how to stop the print system from trying to print this garbaged print job. It has been trying to print the same garbaged print job for the last five days!

I have two different ways to print to my HPOfficejet Pro 8500. They look like two different printers to the software.
When I attempt to print a PDF file one of these prints a mirror image; the other cuts approximately 1/2 inch from the top of the page.
OpenOffice.org files appear to print without problems.
I have openSUSE 11.2 and HPLIP 3.9.8

I've just made my printer (Brother DCP 7030) working with SuSE 11.2. The DCP 7030 driver from the Brother solutions hompage worked fine with SuSE 11.1 but not with 11.2. To make it work with 11.2 I installed the DCP8070D driver from the brother solutions hompage and now it works.

I just installed openSUSE 11.3 (Gnome GUI). All hardware functions pico bello (Agfa SnapScan e42), card reader ACR038, but ... I can't get my Brother HL-2030 to print.
It is not on the list of Brother printers to be chosen from, so I went to the Brother site in order to get the correct driver, where I can download, after having clicked on the Brother 2030 rpm, a file called cupswrapperHL2040-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm.
So, this is the first thing that surprised me : 2040 instead of 2030 ?
I then tried to install it by right-clicking on the item and then choosing Open with package installer but it returns this error :
nothing provides brhl2040lpr needed by cupswrapperHL2040-2.0.1-1.i386
I remember I had the same problem after installing openSUSE 11.1 but I was able to resolve it rather quickly. So, with openSUSE 11.1 I could print what I wanted.

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.

I have a Cent OS 5.4 32 bit final installed in my dedicated server.
I used to run lighttpd with php in my server until now and all was fine.But yesterday I changed my website which needs apache to run. So installed apache using yum install httpd command.
Then I added the virtual host name of my domain in webmin panel but when i try to run my php script in browser then its not opening php pages.
Instead it downloads php files like index.php when i open in browser.So I guess apache is not able to compile and run php pages. Only html pages are opening right now..

Friend got a Brother HL-2130 Printer and couldn't add printer using Yast as the drivers are not found by Yast.
I went to Brother Solutions Center : Brother Driver for Linux Distributions and downloaded the drivers provided by Brother.
rpm -ivh *.rpm
and everything works well.
How could we prompt the developers to update openSUSE so that these working drivers can be added into Yast to benefit future users.

I have a recently purchased Brother HL-3040CN printer that I had been using under Windows XP. I'm hoping to use it on openSUSE 11.2 64-bit. Having consulted SDB:Installing a Printer - openSUSE I ran lpinfo -l -m | grep HL-3040CN as su... evidently this model is not supported.The Brother site Brother Solutions Center : Brother Driver for Linux Distributions seems to suggest maybe there is hope. I am relatively new to Linux.

Whenever i try to empty the Trash (As Root) it does so then gives me an error message saying that it can't delete a specific file. It's always the same file and it says:"The file or folder /home/.Trash-0/files/yesterday once more.mp3 does not exist."Having looked in this location logged in as root using both Dolphin and at the command line, this file doesn't exist.

I was copying an .avi file to an external hard drive and half way through the copy the drive reset and required remounting. Consequently I have an empty .avi file on the hard drive. I tried to recopy the file and overwrite, but I keep getting 'Could not write to media/harddrive/filename.avi'. I tried to rename to file to be copied but got the same response, I cannot delete the empty file either, as I get an error telling I cannot delete it. I have tried to do this as the user and root with the same result.Any other file I tried to copy onto the external hard drive is fine, just this one zero length file and the file I was trying to copy, the original of the file. I also tried to delete the file on another computer but couldn'tExternal hard drive is a WD elements ntfs, which works great except for this glitch.
