-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey Brian,
thank you once again for trying to get that printer working! > We can test if this behaviour is independent of CUPS and the filtering > system too, > > DEVICE_URI=bjnp://db-printer.fritz.box:8611 /usr/lib/cups/backend/bjnp 1 1 > 1 1 1 /etc/services I tried this both with and without sudo: $ sudo DEVICE_URI=bjnp://db-printer.fritz.box:8611 /usr/lib/cups/backend/bjnp 1 1 1 1 1 /etc/services [sudo] password for bjoern: INFO: Attempting to connect to host db-printer.fritz.box on port 8611 STATE: +connecting-to-device STATE: -connecting-to-device INFO: Connected to db-printer.fritz.box...

But the printer did nothing. >> What do you mean by that? Ping the router? Ping cups (which is on my >> laptop)? > > Ping the printer is what I meant. I then tried to ping. $ ping db-printer.fritz.box:8611 ping: unknown host db-printer.fritz.box:8611 Then I looked up the IP adress and changed the router to give the printer a fixed IP adress. $ ping 192.168.178.27 PING 192.168.178.27 (192.168.178.27) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.178.27: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=5.73 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.178.27: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=7.56 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.178.27: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=5.09 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.178.27: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=7.13 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.178.27: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=5.68 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.178.27: icmp_seq=6 ttl=64 time=7.40 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.178.27: icmp_seq=7 ttl=64 time=5.09 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.178.27: icmp_seq=8 ttl=64 time=5.25 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.178.27: icmp_seq=9 ttl=64 time=4.98 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.178.27: icmp_seq=10 ttl=64 time=4.97 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.178.27: icmp_seq=11 ttl=64 time=6.70 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.178.27: icmp_seq=12 ttl=64 time=4.93 ms ^C - --- 192.168.178.27 ping statistics --- 12 packets transmitted, 12 received, 0% packet loss, time 11015ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 4.938/5.881/7.567/0.987 ms This worked! So I did some tests by changing the URI in settings. bjnp://db-printer.fritz.box:8611 -> problem as decribed initially ipp://db-printer.fritz.box:8611 -> printer not reachable bjnp://192.168.178.27 -> problem as decribed initially ipp://192.168.178.27 -> works! Finally, I removed the package cups-backend-bjnp. Everything still works! Thank you once again for your help!
