I have add a new printer to network. It has an IP address of
192.168.0.230. When I look at the CUPS web page at localhost:631 and
seleded administration --> manage printers, I see the printer:
MFC7460DN <http://localhost:631/printers/MFC7460DN> MFC7460DN
Brother MFC7460DN for CUPS Paused - "Destination printer does not exist!"
So CUPS sees the printer, but I guess is not configured properly.
In /etc/cups/printer.conf, the brother printer shows up with the
following section:
20 <Printer MFC7460DN>
21 Info MFC7460DN
22 MakeModel Brother MFC7460DN for CUPS
23 DeviceURI dnssd://Brother%20MFC-7460DN._ipp._tcp.local/
24 State Stopped
25 StateMessage Destination printer does not exist!
26 StateTime 1414526145
27 Reason paused

42 Attribute marker-names Black Toner Cartridge,Drum Unit
43 Attribute marker-types toner,opc
44 Attribute marker-change-time 1414526145
45 </Printer>
so it looks like it should be able to find the printer.
I have downloaded the following drivers from Brother-USA.com:
brfaxmodem-1.1.3-1.i386.deb
brother-udev-rule-type1-1.0.0-1.all.deb
brscan-skey-0.2.4-1.amd64.deb
mfc7460dnlpr-2.1.0-1.i386.deb
brmfcfaxcups-1.0.0-1.i386.deb
brscan4-0.4.2-3.amd64.deb
brscan-skey-0.2.4-1.i386.deb
brmfcfaxlpd-1.0.0-1.i386.deb
brscan4-0.4.2-3.i386.deb
and ran the install script:
linux-brprinter-installer-2.0.0-1
that was provided by Brother-USA.
The script seemed to run ok.
When I run:
lp -dMFC7460DN testfile
the file gets spooled, but it does not print. The job status in CUPS is:
MFC7460DN <http://localhost:631/printers/MFC7460DN>-30 outputfile

/"Destination printer does not exist!"/
Can anyone help with getting jobs to print?
