Hi Nils
I am glad I am not the only person with this problem. My printer is a
Brother MFC-9120CN network printer. It plugs into the router not the
computer. I have found that I can ptint for a short time after I turn
the printer off and back on from it's power switch. I do this every
time I want to print from Ubuntu. I also have a Windows laptop that I
use with the router. It works all the time.
My guess is that the printer has a power saving mode that partly shuts
down Windows knows how to wake it up an print. Ubuntu sees the computer
as switched off. I do not have the skills to fix it.
Let me know how you get on.
All the best
Jeffrey Lee
