I have a Brother HL-L2360DL that I'd thought I'd finally managed to install. I had to go to the Brother website to get a script to run. The instructions for the script had the wrong name for it. None of the default options for Brother printers came close. The CUPS adminstration "web" pages say the right things: Idle, accepting jobs, two completed jobs.
I don't have a Brother printer. But for fun I downloaded linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.2-1. When I ran it according to the instructions I got the following
[root@f32k egreshko]# bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.2-1 HL-L2360D You are going to install following packages. hll2360dlpr-3.2.0-1.i386.rpm hll2360dcupswrapper-3.2.0-1.i386.rpm OK? [y/N] ->
Does that match with your experience?
It's close. The instructions had the wrong script name. The file I downloaded had two scripts, neither of which was named in the instructions. For some reason I used ash linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.1-1 HL-L2360DW even though linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.2-1 is there. For some reason the File browser is only showing linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.2-1 . ls shows both. Their container is gone.
IIRC I did get those rpms installed. I have to go by memory, because I can find no record of what I'd done except for bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.1-1 HL-L2360DW in history. root@localhost ~]# yum list --installed '*brp*' Error: No matching Packages to list [root@localhost ~]# First several other packages installed. IIRC at least one name included glibc . I'm not sure why. I'd already been using g++ . All those packages made me think huh, but seemed harmless.
