Description j pierre LAJOIE 2016-05-04 18:05:49 CEST
Hello,
I had encountered problems using a Brother MFC-J4110 printer with  Mageia 5. The problem had been resolved;
Earlier Mageia 6 I installed the drivers for my printer : always a BROTHER DCPJ-4110DW. It's worked .Now versions have evolved, this printer does not answer anymore. .here meets what I do.  I go to the Brother website where I load the drivers.
dcpj4110dwcupswrapper-3.0.1-1.i386.rpm
dcpj4110dwlpr-3.0.1-1.i386.rpm
brscan4-0.4.3-3.x86_64.rpm
brscan-skey-0.2.4-1.x86_64.rpm
and urpmi cups 
the scannermageia3) = works fine but not the printer.
i also tried :rule-type1-1.0.0-1.noarch.rpm (see older post brother divers > same problem 

i also tried in the konsole:  bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.0.0-1 DCP-J4110DW
i tried to install rpm also directly from konsole.
i tried with kde menu : outils/ outils system/configurer les imprimantes  in 4 ways :
descript  DCPJ4110DW
uri :   usb:/dev/usb/lp0

usb works right with scanner and  card drivers.

j'en rajoute une couche : 
A la console les commandes cups passent bien,  notamment : 
[b] lpoptions -p Brother-DCP-J4110DW -l[/b] 
qui renvoie la liste des options possibles de l'imprimante. 
Apparemment l'imprimante reçoit bien l'ordre et renvoie bien les options ; 
exemple : 
PageSize/Media Size: A3 BrA3_B_S B4_S Tabloid_S BrLedger_B_B *A4 BrA4_B Letter BrLetter_B Legal Executive B5 A5 A6 BrA6_B BrPostC4x6_S BrPostC4x6_B BrIndexC5x8_S BrPhotoL_S

BRDuplex/Two-Sided: DuplexTumble DuplexNoTumble *None  ...../... 
 
[b]lpstat[/b]  renvoie aussi les taches en cours (sans code d'erreur)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I added a layer
in the konsole CUPS commands are going well, especially
lpoptions -p-Brother MFC-J4110DW -l 
 returns a list of possible options for the printer.
Apparently the printer is receiving the order and sends out the options;
Example :
PageSize/Media Size: A3 BrA3_B_S B4_S Tabloid_S BrLedger_B_B *A4 BrA4_B Letter BrLetter_B Legal Executive B5 A5 A6 BrA6_B BrPostC4x6_S BrPostC4x6_B BrIndexC5x8_S BrPhotoL_S

lpstat  also returns the current tasks (no error code)

Comment 5 Stephen Pettin 2016-05-14 14:09:52 CEST
Fresh install of the Mageia 6 Devel 1 iso:
I have a Brother MFC-5440cn and after first installing the Brothers drivers, everything was good but got the same message, "Waiting for printer to become available."

After googling, I found I had to create this file, 10-cups-usb.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d. Inside the file I added this line, ATTR{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTR{idProduct}=="016d", MODE:="0664", GROUP:="lp", ENV{libsane_matched}:="yes"

I found ATTR{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTR{idProduct}=="016d" by typing lsusb.

Bus 008 Device 002: ID 04f9:016d Brother Industries, Ltd MFC-5440CN

After doing this, now I the printer is printing output to paper. You may need to add yourself to the lp group also, I did.

I hope this help.

Comment 6 j pierre LAJOIE 2016-05-14 19:15:41 CEST
thanks for your help
i tried to do as you say

i create the file 10-cups-usb.rules  in  /etc/udev/rules.d

the file is now :
ATTR{idVendor}=="04f9",
ATTR{idProduct}=="02c2", MODE:="0664", GROUP:="lp", ENV{libsane_matched}:="yes"

the command lsusb return me :
Bus 004 Device 005: ID 04f9:02c2 Brother Industries, Ltd 

i also tried to add me to lp :
su  adduser $lajoiejp lp
adduser : l'utilisateur « lp » existe déjà

but my printer is always no responding 
i also tried to copy hwdb.bin , udev.conf and /rules.d/60-brother-libsane-type1.rules from mageia5 to mageia6 /etc/udev and this also  don't work!!!!!!!
Comment 7 j pierre LAJOIE 2016-05-14 19:35:14 CEST
i have two hard drives :one with mageia 5 .if i use this one my printer / scanner  brother dcp-j4110dw works perfectly 
i have another hard drive with mageia6 testing and with this one it's impossible to print with the same printer.
the problèm seems to be in recognising the busy signal from printer because everything else seems ok 
cups commands are accepted
example : 

 lpoptions -p Brother-DCP-J4110DW -l
qui return all possibles options of the printer.

PageSize/Media Size: A3 BrA3_B_S B4_S Tabloid_S BrLedger_B_B *A4 BrA4_B Letter BrLetter_B Legal Executive B5 A5 A6 BrA6_B BrPostC4x6_S BrPostC4x6_B BrIndexC5x8_S BrPhotoL_S

lpstat return also jobs waitings (without error)

Comment 8 j pierre LAJOIE 2016-05-18 05:57:34 CEST
I created the file 10-cups-usb.rules  in  /etc/udev/rules.d
It did not work also after a reboot.
Because the printer has a wireless option I tried to go through the network and my Linksys router=> Not knowing the exact process i have not succeeded, but after 2/3 attempts Mageia recognized the printer on  USB port, and it's open a window asking me to install task-serving-server and task-printing-help
I accepted and now it works!
It remains to study a better process to install this type of printer.
Thanks for your help.
Comment 9 Doug Laidlaw 2016-07-09 16:12:21 CEST
I have an MFC-J825DW.  My procedure is:

In MCC/Hardware, choose "Setup Printer"

task-printing-server is then installed.

In the next screen, my Printer is found.  When I select it,

task-printing-misc is installed.

My printer isn't listed, so I exit temporarily and install

linux-brprinter-installer-2.0.0-1

from the Brother web site. It needs to be unzipped and made executable.  It takes care of the rest of the process, EXCEPT that it sets the paper to be US letter, not A4.

If you are going through the router, I find that the best option is to use the CUPS path starting with "9100."

Hello,
I just tried with my BROTHER MFC-9330CDW connected by USB. Mageia 6 in Virtualbox, connected to said USB port.
I installed the printer with linux-brprinter-installer-2.0.0-1

I get also the message, "Waiting for printer to become available."
I added myself to lp group, restarted the session, but nothing changed.
I installed system-config-printer-1.5.7-8.mga6.x86_64
and libs, udev and applet
Nothing better. :-(
Here a sequence which is repeated continuously in error_log that I have configured to debug level.

Comment 16 Doug Laidlaw 2016-09-09 23:41:13 CEST
You seem to be doing things back-to-front.  I start with MCC.

The sequence in MCC is:

1.  Configure Printers:

-- task-printing is installed.

2.  Detect Printers: The Brother printer is detected.

3.  MCC looks for a driver.  In the list, select "Brother" not "generic."

-- task-printing-misc is installed.

Then it goes off looking for a driver.  My printer is not listed.

Kill/exit the printer config and run linux-brprinter-installer-2.0.0-1 as root.

It will download 3 RPMs. Mine are 

 mfcj825dwcupswrapper-3.0.0-1.i386.rpm
 mfcj825dwlpr-3.0.0-1.i386.rpm
 brscan4-0.4.1-1.i386.rpm

Yours will be different.

Reboot, or restart CUPS.  The printer is now listed in MCC.
So long as you do everything in the virtual machine, it should work.  If it doesn't, there may be a limitation in VirtualBox.  Have you enabled the USB port in VirtualBox?  You can do this only in a 64-bit installation, I discovered.  Right-click on the USB icon to check.

You may want to verify there is not a newer release. I just now checked the packages for my Brother HL-L2380pw and brscan4-0.4.4-1.x86_64.rpm replaces brscan4-0.4.3-2.x86_64.rpm

$ dir | grep -iE "brscan|2380|printer" snippet:

Sep 13  2016 brscan4-0.4.4-1.x86_64.rpm

Do keep in mind, you may need to install the extension pack from the Vendor for USB sharing.

If you use the script, that should (might?) be taken care of.  It overwrites the RPMs you have, and installs them with --force.  The script is the .gz file, unzipped, and it is still the same.

Yes, the extension pack is needed.  My comment about needing 64-bit applies only to USB3, from memory.  The correct USB device needs to be enabled in the drop-down menu in VB's bottom border.
Comment 19 papoteur 2016-09-10 12:59:06 CEST
Tried the scanner.
It is seen from simple-scan, but any job fails.
I tried the configuration in udev rules like comment#5
After a reboot, this helps for the scanner, but not the printer.
For the printer, I suppressed it in s-c-p and reinstalled a new one.
This WORKS !
I don't know what is the difference.
Comment 20 papoteur 2016-09-10 13:52:53 CEST
I tried first to install the printer from the MCC, but it wasn't seen. After that I executed the script from brother.
The new installation from s-c-p pulled also other packages, which included task-printing-misc.
Is it what was missing?

Yes, you need task-printing-misc for a Brother printer.
Comment 26 papoteur 2017-09-01 15:40:40 CEST
This post is a little old for me.
I just installed a new Mageia 6 from DVD-Live-Plasma5. I installed the Brother printer with rpm from Brother.
This worked since I have put the printer as default one in s-c-p.
Note that task-printing-misc was already installed.
Thanks

Thanks, tagged it as obsolete, now :-)

Thanks for the feedback.

Does printing work for you too, so that this report can be closed?
