Sorry, hit return too fast. I discovered that if I renamed the printer as per suggestions on the web, i.e., edited /etc/cups/printers.conf
and changed the line <Printer hp-LaserJet-1320-series> to <Printer my_name> this printer also produced garbage. When I reinstalled it with the original name, this second worked ok. Is there a way of renaming a printer that doesn't create problems? I had also renamed my Brother printer, but when I reinstalled it with it's original name, the garbage output problem was *not* fixed. I'll proceed with your suggestions now for that printer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups-filters in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1252473 Title: Brother printer attached by usb prints garbage went sent a pdf of a scanned document Status in “cups-filters” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp.
