I have Fedora 11 and am trying to install Brother HL-2170W Wireless laser printer. I installed it and used CPUS but cannot print. SELinux is enabled. On Brothers site there is an FAQ about SELinux and CUPS. [URL] I followed these instructions but still cannot print. Jobs get queued. Under Printer properties -> Policies, there is an Enabled checked. For some reason when I check this Enabled box and click Apply, the changes do not take effect. Then Enabled checkbox gets uncheck again.
I cannot even print a test page as its status shows Pending.
How can I access this printer so that I can print my documents?? I am new to Fedora and I have no knowledge of CUPS but I want to be able to acces my wireless printer. When I go to printer section in preferences, I am not able to find my wireless printer.

View 9 Replies View Relatedjust installed ubuntu 11.04 on my old laptop (Dell latitude XT), to experience this OS. But for some reason I cannot get online, both wired and wireless network are 'grey', and i cannot enable them. Even when I try to go online with a USB wifi dongle,I also cannot enable wireless. Enabling Networking is selected.
I include the information I collect and hope this will allow you to give me a diagnose on how to make my wireless work.

I was trying to setup my Brother DCP-135C to scan for Slackware 13.0 (stable, with patches) These are the following steps taken:
1. Download the brscan2-0.2.5-1.i386.deb and brscan-skey-0.2.1-3.i386.deb driver files from [URL]
2. Use the command "ar x" to extract files from the driver files. Used "tar xvf" on data.tar.gz files to unpack the actual files to be installed. Used "tar xvf" to look into control.tar.gz to know what command to run post installation. Repacked them into Slackware packages using makepkg.
3. Depending on how the drivers are repacked, you might need to run these commands (hints take from control.tar.gz)
# /usr/local/Brother/sane/setupSaneScan2 -i
# /usr/local/Brother/sane/brscan-skey-0.2.1-3.sh 0
4. Added the following line in /lib/udev/rules.d/80-libsane.rules. I added these lines near other definitions of Brother devices.
# Brother DCP-135C
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="01ce", MODE="0666", GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
5. ensure your userid is part of group "scanner". Run xsane.
As I have recently figured out, it is very hard to set-up a Brother MFC-J415w wireless printer on a 64 bit machine, so to save you from spending hours searching the Internet and trying different drivers, I will tell you how to set one up.
Step one: Download the 32-bit driver from this link: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com...html#MFC-J415W. When prompted, save the file.
Step two: Open the terminal and type in the following commands:
Code:
mkdir /usr/lib/cups
Code:
mkdir /usr/lib/cups/filter
Code:
mkdir /usr/share/cups/model
Depending on what you've tried before, some of these directories may already exist. Step three: Type the following commands:
Code:
sudo -s

I followed [URL]..to set up my wireless network with WPA2 encryption. It works now and knemo says:Encryption: active. However, "iwconfig wlan0" says Encrytion key: off:
Code:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"blitz"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.472 GHz Access Point: 00:25:9C:DE:D3:7D
Bit Rate=0 kb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
[Code]...
So is there anything wrong with that "Encryption key: off" statement? I suspect that encryption key only applies to WEP, but not to WPA2 encryption, but I am not sure. So my question is, can I ignore that statement and assume that my encryption is fine?
Besides, where does knemo read the information about encryption from? As I mentioned, knemo detects that the encryption is active. Are there any other commands to make sure that my encryption is safe and well?
The problem is that I'm too lazy to buy a wireless network card for my stationary computer that I'm going to use on my room with no wired network. So I'm looking for how to use my laptop with Ubuntu 10.10 as a wireless to wired network converter, sorta. I know how to use a laptop as a "wire to wireless" network converter, but in my case, I need the opposite. I think I'll need a crossed network cable between my ubuntu laptop and my stationary computer (that's the one I'm aiming to get internet onto), but I don't have a crossed one, can I use a switch instead?

That once an ethernet cable is connected the wireless will be disabled and once the ethernet is disconnecter the wireless will be reconnected.
Using Ubuntu Maverick 64-bit.
I know that the wireless devices are working properly as other OSs on this HD work in various forms both .deb and .rpm. In setting up openSUSE11.4, no matter which wireless device in WPA is installed, the icon will go to the wired icon, not the wireless. You can see it trying to go to a wireless icon, but then it reverts to the wired one. I'm beginning to think that this a OS problem in itself and not an install problem.

I can't find any wireless networks and my laptop doesn't even recognize when i plug in a Ethernet cable from my router. There are no internet connections available when hard wired or wireless.
I have the hated Dell Wireless DW1501, 802.11 g/n 1x1 Half Mini network card, which is only compatible with Windows operating systems from what i can tell. I want to be able to connect to the internet both ways, but especially and more importantly using a Ethernet cable.
I'm try to setup a wireless network with my linksys wireless router and my HP laptop dual booting Vista & Suse 11.2. I have the vista networked, just fine. Where I can share files and the printer connected to my desktop. But I want to be able to use Suse in the same way, full time and to stray away from Vista. My wife and kids like easy. So I'm trying to transform them and show them something new.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI yesterday installed Slackware and I am quite impressed. I have been using Ubuntu for a year and decided to move on. My wireless worked fine in Ubuntu but it seems that it needs some configuration for Slackware.Note that my home network WiFi has no password or whatever. I still can't find any networks with my wireless even after the configuration. I fire up wpa_gui and it can't spot anything..
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have tried to get my wireless network setup for 5 nights now, with the same results. Everything in my system automatically installs during the initial installation, except wireless, which I have run into in the past with older pc's. This install however (from 13.1 install dvd) seems to not cooperate properly with the rest of my computer. After installing wicd, I attempt to connect to the wireless network. Immediately after, wicd shows in the activity bar 'flushing dns' and syslog spews out two notifications at the lower right. That's it. From there it hangs and will not terminate cleanly. If I log out from there, I cannot get back into my x window system. Startx merely creates an Auth file and fails to load, saying that it's already active on 0. Then, if I run shutdown -r now, the system only goes as far as disconnecting remote drives and then hangs as well. I have to perform a hard boot at that point. The only thing that circumvents this, is to installpkg remove wicd. After wicd's removal, then I can shutdown -r now and reboot, reenter X and everything acts normal - until a wicd install. Any thoughts, suggestions, anything?

I'm on a Dell Latitude E6500, and I'm switching from Windows 7 to Slackware 13.1; I've never used linux before. I'm trying to set up wireless internet, and it doesn't seem like there's any standard way of doing it for my system. When I run the "lspci -v" command, I find this:
Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
Kernel modules: ssb

And the wireless doesn't work.
I have successfully setup wireless printing with apsfilter, it has written the correct printcap file and if I print with "lpr -P lp file" it works fine, BUT, when I print with just plain old "lpr file" it goes looking for my old printer. The old printer is NOT in the printcap, so where in the heck is lpr finding this old printer name???
I have rebooted (although this is never necessary in Linux) but that made no difference either. I'm stumped.
I'm currently installing Slackware 13.1 on my old Sony VAIO. It's got a wireless card sticking out the side of it, and I just want to make sure I set it all up correctly. I got to the screen where it's asking:
static IP
DHCP
loopback
And I'm not sure which one to pick.
All rc.inet1 an rc.wireless scripts work well if a wireless extension is on wlan(x). My notebook has Intel Pro 2100 wireless adapter (the ipw2100 module). By the system the card is marked as eth1. If you have a look at rc.inet1(.conf) you see that by default an eth1 has no wireless extensions. how to set up my network.

I'm trying to take my current windows7 (x64) setup and make it into a dual-boot setup with slackware 13.0 (x32) and am hitting a brickwall. I guess I would like to know if I can salvage the situation without formating my windows drive. I fully intend to, but I had hoped to not do it this month. I'd like to get dual boot going so I can master it and acquire all the files/drivers I'll want and then format and do it 100% right next time.
Currently I have windows setup on a 3x 500gb Raid0 onboard array which itself has been flawless. After I shrunk my current partition size to give me about 25gb of free space I proceeded to setup Linux, and I was unable to perform the cfdisk portion for partitioning the array for Linux.
I tried using cfdisk:
/dev/hdx (a1-a3,b1-b3)
/dev/sdx (a1-a3,b1-b3)
I even attempted to locate with: cat proc/partition and tried using cfdisk on every device it located. It always said it was either an unknown partition table and should I start at zero, or bad partition. I was of course too concerned over my windows setup (which has almost 1tb of stuff I have not backed up) to go any further into the unknown.
PS: I have used Slackware before, back at 8.1, 10, and even a very brief interlude at 12.0, this is my first attempt on this computer however with 13.0, it is currently running fine on my laptop and my PS3 (Laptop is even dual booting 7/Slack13. Albeit without raid)

I want to setup a wireless network in my lab. Main reason is that I want to be able to print from every computer, but it would also be nice if we can share files. I have three 64 bit machines, a netbook and 32 bit notebook and my internet goes via an Wifi router to which other Windoooze machines connect. I want to change to Lucy now and hope it is easier to setup the network in clean manner.

The --current hplip package can't seem to actually complete the installation of a networked hp printer that has the printer physically plugged into the network.
The hplip app initially does detect the device, then I click next, then it says installation failed as it can't connect to the device.
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong.
I am however able to build, and run an older hplip that --current used a while back and it works splendid for adding a printer over the network.
I'm using version hplip-3.9.4b-i486-1 but I know that's not a big help to the project.
I have just done a new install of the latest opensuse 32bit and for some reason I cannot connect to the internet, when I click on mange connections the vpn tag is highlighted and all the other tabs are grayed out and I cannot select them.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to setup a networked hP C6280 all in one device attached to my network via Cat5 cable. It has the IP 192.168.0.105 and I am experiencing problems with setting up HPLIP... I know I am not the only one to have this problem, but I cant find specific info for slackware and all the posts I've found on the web are outdated, often refering to slack 9 or having been posted prior to 2006....
I use Slackware -Current (prior to 13.1 release), CUPS V1.4.3 and HPLIP V3.10.2. When I try to setup my device in HPLIP (hp-setup), I select "network/ethernet/wireless device", then HPLIP discovers my printer @ 192.168.0.105 (like I expect), and then I click "add printer" and I get:
Code:
Printer queue setup failed. Please restart CUPS and try again. And then the setup exits. Of course restarting CUPS will not I reinstalled HPLIP and no luck. I can setup the device in CUPS, but if I proceed this way, I will not be able to select the attached scanner as a resource in XSANE.In other words, if I setup the all-in-one device with CUPS, it is considered only a simple printer..I remember that I had the same problem with Slackware 12.2 about 14 months ago, but cannot remember how I fixed it.
I have a Brother MFC3360C printer that I would like to use. Has anyone had any success getting this printer working.? I've had it working on Fedora and Mandriva in the past but haven't been able to get it going on slackware. Printer setup recognizes it correctly but It's not in the list of available drivers for it and Brother only has 32 bit drivers for Deb and .rpm on their website, no 64bit.
