Package: cups
Version: 1.5.3-2.12
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I did a complete wipe and install with Wheezy and cups doesn't recognize
nor auto-install my Brother HL-2040. I did a complete wipe and install
with Squeeze and it worked great (although it configured as a HL-2060).
I hope that wasn't confusing, the printer auto configures under Squeeze
but not Wheezy. Wheezy/cups never sees the printer.
Under Wheezy, when I go to http://localhost:631/admin and click on
"Find New Printer" it responds with "No printers found".
The command "lsusb" reports:
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 04f9:0028 Brother Industries, Ltd Printer
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 046d:c52f Logitech, Inc. Wireless Mouse M305
This is exactly the same for both Squeeze and Wheezy installations.
Under Wheezy, the command "lsmod | grep lp" reports:
lp 12797 0
usblp 17115 0
drm_kms_helper 22699 1 radeon
drm 134220 4 drm_kms_helper,ttm,radeon
parport 31254 3 parport_pc,lp,ppdev
i2c_core 19116 5 i2c_algo_bit,i2c_i801,drm,drm_kms_helper,radeon
usbcore 104503 5 ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd,usbhid,usblp
For comparison, under Squeeze "lsmod | grep lp" reports:
lp 5570 0
usblp 7899 0
drm_kms_helper 18569 1 radeon
drm 112621 4 radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper
parport 22554 3 ppdev,lp,parport_pc
i2c_core 12803 5 radeon,drm_kms_helper,i2c_i801,drm,i2c_algo_bit
usbcore 99426 5 usblp,usbhid,uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd
When the printer was configured under Squeeze,
http://localhost:631/admin -> Manage Printers -> HL-2040 reports:
Description: Brother HL-2040 series
Location: carpe
Driver: Brother HL-2060 Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5e (recommended) (grayscale, 2-sided printing)
Connection: usb://Brother/HL-2040%20series
Defaults: job-sheets=none, none media=na_letter_8.5x11in sides=one-sided
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Hi mark,
thanks for your detailed answer! Hereby closing the bug as it doesn't appear
to be something we can change in the package.

It might be quite far as I'm in .ch; but if you happen to attend DebConf13 in
August, I might have the occasion to hand you one too! :)
Cheers,
