[cups] IPP printing on brother MFC-L2710DN spits out blank pages

[Helge Blischke]

As you used an utility named „driverless“, I assume you are using some Linux system
which by default uses the cups-filters package from OpenPrinting.org <http://openprinting.org/>.

The OpenPrinting printer list tagged this printer as a „paperweight“ and states
that it is not supported by the foomatic package.

As in your driverless output listed, the printer’s supported document-formats are:
–	application/octet-stream					(which is probably Windows GDI)
–	pwg-raster							(the raster format designed by the Printing Working Group)
–	image/urf								(Apple’s proprietary raster format)

and the preferred document-format is image/urf (according to your listing), and the default
is application/octet-stream.

But there is hope:
The driverless utility should have generated a PPD file (written to a file with a cryptic name in the /tmp directory
if called from the command line).

You Linux system should provide a GUI application to configure printers (or a utility named system-config-printer)
which by default configures the printer using the PPD generated by driverless. And the 
cups-filters package provides a filter named gstoraster which (at least) is able to generate
the image/pwg-raster document format.

Feel free to ask for more help if needed.
