 |
|
Hello everyone,
I'm trying to make my DPC-J140W printer work. I tried following instructions in this wiki page, installed CUPS, downloaded and installed drivers from Bother's web page, and checked if the printer was added in cups. Everything looks good, the scanner works, with the exception that cups is reporting a missing file:
| Quote: | | Idle - "File "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperdcpj140w" not available: No such file or directory" |
Anyone here experienced this issue? |

| Does this file (ie. /usr/libexec/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperdcpj140w) exist? I suspect you have a 64-bit system? Are you on multilib profile? |

I 've had a few brother printers, and seen this error before. My guess: The file is probably installed in /opt/brother/Printers, but the symlink hasn't been created. | Code: | | tree /opt/brother/Printers |
should show what's installed and where. I just manually recreate the missing filter symlink, restart cups and you should get a test page.
If it isn't obvious to you from the above tree output which file(s) you need to symlink, post the output of
| Code: | | ls -al /usr/libexec/cups/filter | grep .-\> |
and I'll take a look for you. |
