[SOLVED]Can't print to my Brother DCP-7065dn after upgrade to systemd.

Hi All,
I have a pure systemd installation and I'm having issues printing. I have a Brother DCP-7065dn which works well on my Ubuntu laptop with the drivers availible from Brother. I downloaded and installed the drivers for this printer from the AUR and added the printer to cups (both lpd and usb). When I print a test page cups reports that the job completed succesfully but the printer does not print. Not sure what is wrong. Has anyone else had printing issues after upgrading to systemd? Any thought on how I can get this printer working?
Thanks
Edit: BTW. Brother offers deb and rpm packages for their Linux drivers. I installed the deb packages on an Ubuntu machine and I can print over the network (lpd) with no problems. I also installed the brother on may arch system using the wrong drivers just to see what would happen. Using the DCP-7045N Foomatic/Postscript driver I can communicate with the printer (progress) but printing a test page results in the printer spitting out a lot of blank pages. I can also print to an HP from my arch laptop with no problems. So the issue seems to be with the drivers for the Brother DCP-7065dn from the AUR. Not sure how I'm going to fix this. I can't install the rpm or deb packages on my machine. and I don't want to switch to a red-hat or debian system if I can avoid it.
Final Edit: SOLVED! I need to learn to go back and read comments. In the AUR there was a comment regurding this exact issue. I needed to enable multilib repository and install lib32-glibc. Now it works. \(^_^)/

Did you add the printer using Bonjour or did you select one of the IP protocols? If the latter, then you cannot use IPP. The Canon MF driver supports LPD or HP Jetdirect.

Updated to Canon driver 10.2.0, printer is still not appearing in the list.
If you mean that after you change the USE menu to "Select printer software" and the Printer Software window is empty, then try restarting your Mac. This can rebuild the printer list.

Both Canon MF background items are running according to Activity Monitor.
The new MF v10.x driver does not install or use the MF Background process. So this process is a leftover from a previous driver. I would therefore recommend you trash the older driver files and run the v10.2.0 driver installer again.
Depending on the version of driver you had installed prior to upgrading to Mavericks, the name of the folder can be different but will reside in /Library/Printers/Canon. Here you will see BJPrinter and IJScanner. Leave them alone and just remove the one or two that have MF in the name.
You then need to navigate to /Library/Launch Agents/ and trash any Canon plist file. Then restart the Mac and run the Canon MF v10.2 installer again and then see if you can add the MF8350.

Mac OS X 10.6.8 is the current incarnation of Snow Leopard, and fixes various issues in earlier releases.
Current versions of Mac OS X 10.6 include the necessary printer driver for the Brother DCP-7030 printer (HT3669). (The asterisk footnote on that printer indicates there was a recent update via Software Update, so get to current 10.6.8 and ensure the Brother printer software update has been selected and loaded.)
If you're on the current Mac OS X version and if have the Brother update loaded (from Apple) and if problems with the printer persist, then remove the printer from your current Mac OS X configuraton, and re-add it, and see if that clears the particular issue(s) you're having with this printer.
From experience, the Brother software for Mac OS X is a little odd, and the older software stuff (and particularly around the scanner controls for their multi-function series) were, um, unusual, and a little unstable. Printing generally worked fine, though. Recent versions of the Brother software are working better including for the scaller, but the UIs and the set-up are both still odd. If you're using the box as a printer (I haven't looked at the DCP-7030 features), then you're best using the Brother software that arrives from Apple and not the software from Brother.
Also ensure the printer firmware is current. That's corrected some odd behavior on some Brother printers.

Can not print with HP LaserJet 6L since the upgrade to Mavericks.

Can not print with HP LaserJet 6L since the upgrade to Mavericks. Any alternative driver for this printer?

I have an HP LaserJet 5P and had the same problem. My LaserJet is connected to a D-Link ethernet print server, then to an Airport Express to support wireless printing.
As recommended in earlier posts, I first downloaded the Gutenprint HP drivers at Sourceforge, version 5.2.9 That did not work. Then found the reference to the Apple kb here: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl907
Downloaded these drivers. When setting up the printer, I got the autoselect option for Generic Postscript Printer and used that. Printer worked, but printed out garbage. I then deleted the printer, and this time selected the HP LaserJet 5P CUPS + Gutenprint v.5.2.9 THAT WORKED! I don't know if was the combination of downloading the drivers from Sourceforge and the Apple kb, or just the Apple kb that solved the problem, but I'm glad this is now sorted.
I was a bit surprised when I hit this snag to begin with because the last upgrade I did from Lion to Mountain Lion, I did not have this issue. It was seamless.

[SOLVED] Brother DCP-7065DN in a Network: Scanner works, Printer not.

Hi all,
I am aware of the fact that there is a similar thread, but the issue isn't really solved there.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=109570
I've got a shiny new DCP-7065DN, which works ok in Ubuntu as a network printer and scanner.
I was forced to use Brother's official rpm's, since foomatic doesn't support this model yet.
Now with my Arch 64, I've managed to get the scanner running (after a lot of playing).
But unfortunately, I only manage to print a testpage from CUPS, and that was it.
Other than that, the file is getting sent and Brother's LCD says: "receiving data", but nothing happens.

What I tried to solve the problem
After reading through *many* forums (not only Arch) I tried the following.
Install a2ps
Result: It is printing! It prints all documents as postscript, but in text-mode. Shouldn't the official driver be able to interpret a postscript file as something else than plain text? Am I missing something? This could be the key, since it is printing at least. Uninstalled.
Uninstall cups and reinstall.
According to some threads, starting avahi-deamon resolves the problem. It doesn't so with me.
What I didn't try (yet)
udev rule. However, in my case it seems not likely to be the way to go, since I do not print via USB
Sometimes I am able to print from Firefox, sometimes not.
The same goes for Pdf's printed from Evince....
Has anyone had similar issues? How was it resolved?

Dear Fellows,
Downgrading the package "file" to Version 5.04 did the trick for me immediately.
The printer has been working for a while now consistently, and I am confident to say that this really solved the problem and wasn't just luck.
However, you need to make sure that "file" doesn't get updated when doing your regular system update.
If you are interested in the full story: I posted a Guide how to install the DCP-7065DN (and probably other new brother devices) here.
Regards

Cannot print with my Brother DCP-7055 (copies and scans are working)

Since I updated my system I am not able to print something with my Mac on the Brother DCP-7055.
When I want to print something it shows on the printer that it is submitting the data but nothing happen. From this moment the printer is like "blocked" and all the new task are in the waiting list.
I tried everything, delete the printer and reinstall it, reinstall the driver and everything.
It is not a problem of the printer I think, because I can do copies and as well I can do a scan (connected with my Mac as well).
I need help!
Thanks in advance.

Configure printer resolution in Brother DCP-7055

Hi all.
I'm setting up a multifunction Brother DCP-7055 printer Archlinux, using the official driver, which is installed and running, but when configure print only lets me choose between 600 dpi and HQ1200dpi, when using it under Windows 7 used 300dpi. I wanted to know if there is any way to configure it to accept this resolution.
Regards.

Can't print to Networked Brother MFC-7420 Printer after installing 10.6

A few days ago my dad decided to finally take the plunge and let me upgrade his operating system from 10.5 to Snow Leopard 10.6.6 on his Imac.
Ever since then I have been unable to print to his Brother MFC-7420 printer.
The printer is connected to his Imac via USB and I connect to his printer through our Linksys Router on my laptop MacBook Pro. The downside about this setup is that his computer has to be physically on for me to be able to see and/or print to the printer.
When he was running 10.5 I was able to print to his printer with no problems but now that he is running 10.6 I can "see" the printer but when I sent a print job to it the Print Queue for the Brother on my screen says "Connecting to Printer" and never gets any further.
Printer Sharing is turned on as usual allowing "Everyone" on the network to print. I've tried removing and reinstalling the driver on my computer to no avail, I haven't tried doing the same to his computer.
A side note to make though, when my dad is running 10.5 on his machine and I try to add the Printer via my Print&Fax the system will automatically set the "Print Using" to the correct Brother MFC-7420 Cups" driver. However, if he is running 10.6 my system just comes up with the "Generic PostScript Printer".
Is there something I should do on his end or my end so that "my" computer can print again to his printer?
Any suggestions are appreciated, if any of you need more info feel free to post and I'll try to help. Thanks!

A couple of suggestions for you.
Ensure you have installed the MFC-7420 OS X 10.6 CUPS driver on both Mac's.
Open Print & Fax and select the Default view and select the shared printer. When your Print Using menu selects Generic Postscript, change this menu to 'Select printer software' and then search for the 7420 driver. According to Brother support the driver name will be listed as "MFC-7420 + CUPS".

Office Pro 8000: Can't Print/Out of Ink Error even after installing new cartridge.

When I tried to use my printer a few days ago, I received a "Can't Print: Out of Ink" error message concerning the magenta cartridge. I had used the printer a few days before that, and had not received a low ink warning. It seemed suspicious to me that I would have received an empty cartridge error message without first receiving a low cartridge warning. The yellow and cyan cartridges read 70% full - all 3 were original cartridges.
I purchased a new 940XL magenta cartridge and installed it per instructions. Now I am getting a message that the new 940XL cartridge is empty. I can shake the old 940 cartridge and hear liquid inside. Obviously, the new cartridge is also full. I've tried cycling power, reinstalling the software, etc, with no change in status. If I swap back and forth between the old 940 and new 940XL cartridge, they are properly identified by type on my screen as the 940 or 940XL. Due to the way the problem has presented itself, I don't believe it is a cartridge issue.
Of course, problem first arouse on May 8th, and my warrantee expired April 26th. Any suggestions?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I've solved my own problem, which was clearly a factory assembly defect. I looked inside my printer with a flashlight in the area where the ink cartridges are installed, and found magenta ink sprayed inside the printer. I disassembled the printer, and found that the magenta line had been damaged during assembly. There are four ink tubes which exit from behind the ink cartridges, then make a U turn back toward the front of the printer. Just after the U turn, they make another bend up-wards. It is at this point that I found the damaged magenta line, directly above a screw on the right-hand side of the ink cartridge housing. The lines are in a very narrow passage, and are held in place by several keepers molded out of plastic. It appears that the lines were put in place in the keepers, then the screw inserted from above. As I said, it is a very tight passage, and it would be very easy to damage the ink line at that point if the lines weren't carefully held back to insert the screw during assembly.
To solve the problem, I removed approximately 1/4 inch of damaged magenta ink line. I carefully cut the line with a sharp razor, to prevent collapsing the line or causing burrs to the tubing. I then placed about 3/4" of self-sealing heat shrink tubing over one end of the ink line. Next I spliced the line with a small piece of stiff plastic tubing from the handle of a cotton swab, which was a perfect, snug fit over the ink line. Being careful not to collapse the ink tube or cause further damage, I gently twisted the ink line back and forth until the ends were butted up inside the cotton swab splice. I then positioned the heat-shrink tubing over the splice, and shrunk it with a hair dryer. The heat-shrink tubing I used has hot-melt glue applied to the inside, which further aided in making a leak-proof splice. Again, there is not a lot of room, so the splice had to be kept small.
I reassembled the printer, reinstalled the ink cartridges, and powered up the printer. After the normal, long start-up delay, I printed several full-color test sheets, and all was fine. The magenta cartridge that I had installed previously now shows that it is full, and the remaining cartridges also read the levels that they had prior to disassembly.

[SOLVED] Can't connect to network after upgrade to systemd

Hello:
I recently performed a full system upgrade and migrated to systemd successfully per these articles:
https://www.archlinux.org/news/end-of-i … s-support/
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … stallation
I am able to boot the system using systemd, however I no longer have network access.
I removed the daemons from rc.conf that I was using previously and added them using systemctl, but I can't seem to add the networkmanager daemon as it is not installed.
I have not removed initscripts - as far as I know, it still parses rc.conf - I left a couple of 'legacy' daemons in there such as open-vm-tools (this is running on ESXI) and the network daemon - however since upgrading it seems the network daemon is either not installed or is not loading. I know the guide says to remove initscripts, but it also says it can be left if you need legacy daemons - I would like to move away from the old network system however open-vm-tools is still not compatible with systemd afaik.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you.
EDIT: Here is the output of dmesg | grep vmxnet
[ 3.766182] WMware vmxnet virtual NIC driver
[ 3.771287] Found vmxnet/PCI at 0x2024, irq18
EDIT 2: It seems open-vm-tools is no longer loading either - it did get upgraded during pacman -Syu (I saw it in the list) - so maybe initscripts is not functioning / loading rc.conf after all? Can someone please assist me with enabling initscripts to run alongside systemd?

Thanks! I can see that ip link was the obvious thing I was missing here.
I have a new interface 'enp2s0' showing as DOWN. I guess now I know what happened to eth0
UPDATE: I found out that vm tools has been upgraded as well, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … systemd%29
Thanks a lot for your help, I will definitely do some more digging in the Arch Wiki and forums next time!

Can't get past home page of instructables after upgrading to firefox 13

I can load the home page, but if i click on anything past it, it acts like it continually loads, nothing comes up on the page, it sticks at "Transferring data from www.instructables.com..." or "Read www.instructables.com" it seems to only have happened after upgrading to firefox 13. I have an old version of firefox aurora that came with the tor browser suite and tried instructables on there. worked perfect, and i was going to instructables on a regular basis before the update, so it's gotta be from the update right? what can i do to fix it?
P.S. It's not just the specific URL under "URL of affected site" because none of the pages will load after the home page.

did that solve the issue? i still believe it has more likely to do something with faulty cache (maybe the restart of the browser really triggered it );
if it was an issue with dns prefetching it would be rather strage since you already were on the domain instructables.com & wouldn't have had to resolve the domain for the subsites again. and since the server, your isp or your local hardware might not support ipv6 fully yet, it can always cause some glitches too...
