HL-1110 detected but doesn't print/process only Idle

[John MIchael James]

I got a HL-1110 and got its PPD file from Brother website. I searched through a lot of forums and bug reports and did what they did but still failed to print even a single page.

I am using a Raspberry Pi to print.

[Pascal De Vuyst (pascal-devuyst)]

This gdi printer needs a binary driver from Brother in addition to the PPD since Brother only provides i386 packages for this driver you will probably need to compile from source for the Raspberry Pi ARM platform.
Not a bug in Ubuntu...

Brother currently supports the armhf architecture and Raspbian:

I got my HL-1110 printer to work with CUPS.
