Public bug reported:
SYSTEM is Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10, AMD64 Desktop
Linux server1 3.0.0-15-generic #25-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 2 17:44:42 UTC 2012
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Have installed a Brother MFC-7420 laser printer. The printer appears in the
System Settings --> Printing and is shown in lsusb
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 04f9:0180 Brother Industries, Ltd MFC-7420
When I print the printer LCD is showing "Receiving Data" for several
seconds (about 10 to 20 sec) and returns to the "Sleeping" mode.
HISTORY:
*installed oneiric
* conected printer, followed auto installer -> MFC-7420 not found, so tried
MFC-7820N -> didn't print -> device not found
* downloaded drivers from Brother site and installed as per instructions ->
auto install printer, this time with MFC-7420
* test print ( or any other print) gives "Receiving Data" on printer LCD for
several seconds
* contacted Brother support, went thru above again and a few other tests,
including using the MFC-7820N, still only to get "Receiving Data" on LCD.
There must be a bug in the CUPS system for the Brother MFC-7420, in that:
* is not recognised correctly by Oneiric
* data is sent to the printer, but does not print.
Suggestions please ...
