Details
When I try to print with my Brother MFC-9840CDW either via
the pxcolor driver or via the postscript driver I get plain
text output on the printer rather than a test page as
expected;
pxlcolor: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foomatic-db/+bug/1529690 postscript: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foomatic-db/+bug/1529687 The last time when I have printed with these drivers under Ubunutu no such error ocurred. Finally I have tried it with the printer drivers directly supplied via solutions.brother.com/linux with exactly the same result: they print well under Mageia but just give unwanted text output when used with Arch Linux. Besides this I do also still have to start cups by invoking the cupsd executable directly from a command line rather than being able to configure its startup via systemctl enable/start. |
This task depends upon

Well, the CUPS v1.1 driver as provided by Brother works in deed
though it has never been packaged for Arch and though sources are
not public for the lpr driver it requires (sorry for having
indicated test results wrongly for the proprietary driver; it
works with a bit of fine tuning). Consequently I would regard this
bug as to be resolved upstreams. It can be inferenced that there
is no configuration issue with CUPS but a driver issue with both
the pxlcolor and the postscript driver.
Has this been fixed with all the updates?
