 Posted: Wed May 10, 2006 5:15 pm Post subject: help me installing my printers cups (wrapper) driver |
 |
|
hi there,
i own a Brother DCP-110C which brother officially supports under linux. yay, one good thing at the beginning 
but now i am trying to install the provided lpr-wrapper driver for cups and dont get it working.
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/cups_drivers.html <- there you can get an overview of the provided files and the infos on how to install it.
for my model they provide an LPR driver and a cups wrapper for it. so i think i have to install the LPR driver first and then the cups wrapper. i did this after emerging rpm as package manager:
| Code: |
# rpm -i --nodeps cupswrapperDCP110C-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm
rm -f /usr/lib/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperDCP110C
/etc/init.d/cups: Command not found.
# rpm -i --nodeps DCP110Clpr-1.0.2-1.i386.rpm
package DCP110Clpr-1.0.2-1 is already installed
|
i had to do it this way, because the other way round it didnt work but gave me the following:
| Code: | acer drucker # rpm -i --nodeps DCP110Clpr-1.0.2-1.i386.rpm
mkdir: cannot create directory ,,/var/spool/lpd/DCP110C": File or directory not found
chown: Access to ,,/var/spool/lpd/DCP110C" not possible: File or directory not found
chgrp: Access to ,,/var/spool/lpd/DCP110C" not possible: File or directory not found
chmod: Access to ,,/var/spool/lpd/DCP110C" not possible: File or directory not found
|
after this i started gnome-cups-manager as root and the printer was already there, but it doesnt work. it only gives me errors like
| Code: |
Paused: Filter "brlpdwrapperDCP110C" for printer "DCP110C" not available: No such file or directory |
and
| Code: | Printing to 'DCP110C' failed with error code: 1034
is the printer paused ? |
sorry for providing parts of the error messages in german, but a simple LANG="en" gnome-cups-manager didnt get it to be english :-/
i hope there's someone out there who can help me with this 
edit: translated german messages

LC_ALL=C ... should result in default - english - messages. For me last message is hard to understand, could you translate it or use method mentioned above to get english version of the message?

well, i should have done it manually before *lol* nevermind, i edited my original posting to appear all in english.
edit: i should have mentioned that in the driver tab in gnome-cups-manager there are no manufacturers nor drivers available, the lists are simply empty |

try to use --force to force installing rpm, you have installed and configured cups?
it looks like rpm expects /etc/init.d/cups, but Gentoo has /etc/init.d/cupsd...

doesnt change anything. changing all /etc/init.d/cups entries to /etc/init.d/cupsd in the wrapper script doesnt change anything too.
i now downgraded from cups-1.2.0 to the latest stable release, but this doesnt change much too. the only thing is that i now get into the web interface... but there i cannot do anything related to this printer too. sometimes it tells me "Error: client-error-request-value-too-long" and sometimes it just gives me the same error styled as an browser-error-message instead of a simple message within the cups web interface. i also checked if unmounting my permanently mounted usb stick (submount) does anything, but it didnt. |

maybe rpm does not put files in the right (for Gentoo) places? Could you post list of files inside rpm - mark those really installed. Does file /usr/lib/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperDCP110C exist?

the package DCP110Clpr-1.0.2-1.i386.rpm contains:
| Code: |
./
./usr/
./usr/bin/
./usr/bin/brprintconfij2
./usr/lib/
./usr/lib/libbrcompij2.so.1.0.2
./usr/local/
./usr/local/Brother/
./usr/local/Brother/inf/
./usr/local/Brother/inf/brio04aa.bcm
./usr/local/Brother/inf/brio04ab.bcm
./usr/local/Brother/inf/brio04ac.bcm
./usr/local/Brother/inf/brio04ad.bcm
./usr/local/Brother/inf/brDCP110Crc
./usr/local/Brother/inf/setupPrintcapij
./usr/local/Brother/inf/paperinfij2
./usr/local/Brother/inf/brDCP110Cfunc
./usr/local/Brother/inf/brPrintListij2
./usr/local/Brother/lpd/
./usr/local/Brother/lpd/filterDCP110C
./usr/local/Brother/lpd/psconvertij2
./usr/local/Brother/lpd/rastertobrij2
|
(think that dots away, i converted the rpm to a tar.gz and then uncompressed it in a temp folder to get the list)
and the file cupswrapperDCP110C-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm:
| Code: | ./
./usr/
./usr/local/
./usr/local/Brother/
./usr/local/Brother/cupswrapper/
./usr/local/Brother/cupswrapper/cupswrapperDCP110C-1.0.0
|
| Quote: | | Does file /usr/lib/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperDCP110C exist? |
yes, it does exist/is installed in this place. and i also verified all the files listed above, they are all installed in the listed places |
