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printers list (outdated DB?)...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 ?
Hi!
Almost any driver that uses PCL or postscript should enable you to
print "something", regardless if its brother or something different.
e.g. i used a apple laserjet postsript driver on XP to print to a HP
printer somewhen in the past..
hope this helps,
Stephan
