Hi all,
Recently, I got new printer (model "Brother MFC-L3740CDW") and I cannot
make OI to use it...
What I did:
A) CUPS enabled
:; pfexec svcadm enable svc:/application/cups/scheduler:default
:; pfexec svcadm enable svc:/application/cups/in-lpd:default
:; print-service -s cups
B) Installed packages:
:; pfexec pkg install -v cups cups-filters system-config-printer
print-manager foomatic-rip pycairo
Executing *system-config-printer* utility (as regular user, opens GUI)
finds printer, but no option to pick that model up from Brother printers
list (outdated DB?)...
a) Utility *system-config-printer* might need update, as throws lot of
Gtk-WARNING errors:
:; pkg search -l /usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py
INDEX ACTION VALUE
PACKAGE
path file
usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py
pkg:/print/cups/[email protected]
b) Finally, have found and extracted *ppd* file from rpm found on
Brother site, but still nothing (configuration is done -- no errors
reported, but still nothing is sent to the printer).
:; rpm -qlp mfcl3740cdwpdrv-3.5.1-1.i386.rpm

So, any idea/suggestion/etc ?
