| 2008-10-23 02:14:34 | zertz | description | In Intrepid Ibex, the Brother HL-2140 printer is not working under default drivers. I had installed the Brother LPR driver for this printer from the HL-2140 entry it has, which is incorrect, and says it works. It also asks for a Brother cups driver to be installed. After these debs are installed to the system, it autodetects the printer and chooses a sort of PPD file which is labelled as for the HL-2170W printer. autodetects, uses this ppd, still listed as the HL-2140 printer, though it will not work printing at 1200 dpi. I had read on one forum post on ubuntuforums, that someone gotten it to work using the HL-2060 ppd file, which works for me, when manually assigning it, however it only prints up to 600dpi. It sure would be nice to get native support for this printer. I had purchased it, to replace a LaserJet 1018, which stopped working in Hardy, didn't get fixed either in Intrepid, so its a little disappointment that my replacement is crippled. its so hard to find a working monochrome laser printer for ubuntu, and they are important. ty | In Intrepid Ibex, the Brother HL-2140 printer is not working under default drivers.

| 2008-10-26 03:46:41 | Anthony Noto | None: statusexplanation | I have this model of printer. The upgrade went smoothly and I was unable to recreate your bug. I also did not need to install any drivers. CUPS automatically detected the USB printer and configured it correctly. Please use the following guide and post the log files it recommends: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems Thanks for your bug report, hopefully we will be able to sort this out quickly. | ||
