Hi Gene,
I had (and still have) a feeling that Hans and I might have at least partly the
same CUPS-related (or possibly router-related) problem with our printers, both
of which are fax- and scan-capable MFDs, though his is a Samsung.
I used the Brother drivers with occasional hiccups on Ubuntu until 2019. I
then switched to Buster and (having been oblivious to it on Ubuntu, if it
existed there then) found driverless printing suited my needs, though the
Brother drivers do offer more options.
I can print to driverless queues created with lpadmin, though why not to
driverless queues created by other means or autodetected is mystifying.
Many thanks anyway for your suggestion.
Best wishes,
Gareth
