He;s usually been able to sort things for me in the past.

I'll have to look for any notes I may have kept from when I got printing working in the old Lighthouse64.

Thanks ...

Brother HL-2275DW only has 32-bit support for Debian; you need a Fedora-based distribution to get the 64-bit support.

You may be out of luck.

That cannot be correct.

I already have access to the Brother printer from my 64-bit install of the older version of Lighthouse64-602.

I just need to know how to get it to work with this newer version.

Later today I will search in the slight hope that I saved some notes as to how I got it working on the older 64-bit install.

Somewhere on this forum is a utility called rpm2pet that may be of use. I recall that it needs another utility called unrpm...

If you can't get ahold of it here I have both and can re-up.

But they are 32bit PETs so I cannot guarantee function in a 64bit Pup.

I have the ppd file and it's on this computer.

I've compared the cupsd.conf cupsd.confLPD and printer.confn and they are the same - other than the UUID in printers.conf

Not sure where to look next but the answer has to be somewhere on my old version of Lighthouse64 laptop ...

Hello rcrsn51,

My old HP-MFC broke down and choose a brotherMFC7360N
My working Puppy was Playdayz's Lucid 511/528
and later on Rerwins's supersulu_x (all frugal installs).
My MFC didnot not -and as I read somewhere will not- work under Lucids.
So I had to go for another puppy capable of printing and scanning on my brotherMFC7360N.

rcrsn51's debbi-1.1.pet, the brother-drivers
and his instructions are working perfectly:
brscan4-0.4.2-1.i386.deb
mfc7360nlpr-2.1.0-1.i386.deb
cupswrapperMFC7360N-2.0.4-2.i386.deb
and sometimes libpoppler3_0.8.7-4_i386.deb

I made 2 mfc.sfs
one with the first 2 deb's and one with all 4
und used 2 methods
1) PADS104 by rsh
2) dir2sfs (by 01micko ?? not sure)

I reported te broken links in PADS here
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=849288#849288
the dir2sfs-method looked ok
files were at the right places as I installed thed the DEB-files
bur did not print or scan

In the Murga-forum I read
you deliverd a few printer-installer-pets.
You did not choose an installer.sfs-file
You delivered a .pet-file as an installer.
Could you describe a howto ?

I would prefer to modify an noobishly quote (Nooby, 2012) here in full agreement
"I have lots of time and lacks of knowledge."

groetjes, greetings & Grüße
k.eubus

At the end of the day I installed the 32-bit version of Quirky; eventually got the printer working.

Hi

Have installed cupswrapper and print driver and cups can see printer yet when i print it says " printer not connected"

I am new to puppy and believe it is looking for usb connection??

The printer is a wireless printer , can u help

I cannot help, and right now, nobody can.

I could help if I knew what Puppy you were using, what printer you were using, and how you attempted to install the printer.

I'm sorry if I sound abrupt. It is simply very frustrating to have someone pop up and say "help me stuff's broken" while simultaneously providing essentially no useful information outside of the fact that something doesn't work where they want/need it.

At least you posted in the right place... well, one of the two posts is. (Posting in multiple places about the same issue is not cool around here, BTW. You won't get sacked, but Flash, our resident moderator, might send you an invoice if he needs to buy ibuprofen for the headache.)

I am trying to install my Brother DCP-J125 on FatDog 64. I have installed the 32bit devx. The catch is that PETs don't work on Fatdog so I can't used Debbi. I have tried using the procedure on the brother help page but dpkg keeps complaining about missing files

I would like some advice on how to get my new Brother MFC-L2700DW printer working on Quirky Tahr.

I am using Quirky Tahr 6.0.5 [CUPS 1.7.1] on an Acer c710 laptop. The md5sums for tahr-6.0.5.usfs.xz and install-quirky-to-partition.sh were both correct. I am using debbi from debbi-1.2.pet.

Here is my attempt at lpr install and the response:

Duplicate Post - Excuse Me!

rcrsn51 · Posted: Sun 26 Jul 2015, 22:17 Post subject:

The "internal server error" has nothing to do with the Brother driver and everything to do with the CUPS setup in Quirky. Are you doing this from a clean install? Have you added any other packages like web browsers? Are you using a 32bit Quirky?

You should post your problem in the Quirky thread.
