I got the dbus & avahi daemons to run by first doing as root:
# mkdir /var/run/dbus
Why this needs to be done manually is another issue I'll look into
later, but for now I think I figured out the printing issue. This is
a legal size PDF, and so I added the -o media=legal to the command
like so:
lp -d Brother_HL-1450_series -n 1 -P 2 -o media=legal some-file.pdf
And now it seems to be printing fine. Will check again later this
weekend when I have more paper & time, but it seems to be printing ok
for now.
