Package: cups
Version: 2.3.3-2

Hi,

I've been trying to get printing on a Brother HL-L2370DN to work,
but all attempts failed so far.

I first attempted this the old way by adding a printer using the
adminstration page, where it finds it 3 times:
Brother HL-L2370DN series (Brother HL-L2370DN series)
Brother HL-L2370DN series (Brother HL-L2370DN series)
Brother HL-L2370DN series (fully driverless) (Brother HL-L2370DN series)

It's at least very confusing why it would show me that same
printer 3 times. But it seems the first one is using dnssd, the
2nd ldp, and the 3rd ipp.

If you then try to install it, you need to select a driver
where there are 2 options for the dnssd and ipp: ipp everywhere,
or driverless, and just one for ldp: driverless

If you use the ipp everywhere driver, and then try to print
something, it will not find the printer, the job just stays in the
queue. (I think I tried this for the 3 types.)

If you try to use the "driverless" driver it will just say
"unable to copy PPD file".

Looking at the wiki and other places on internet, I decided to
remove the printer in cups, and install cups-browsed. I think I've
changed the config to:
CreateIPPPrinterQueues Driverless

(It would be really nice if the documentation says what the
default is, and that is has a good default.)

Even though the cups admin page doesn't show a printer, when I try
to print something it's showing me a "Brother-HL-L2370DN-series"
printer. However, when I tried to print using that, only page
after page of garbage comes out of the printer.

I would be surprised if this URI did not produce a working driverless
print queue. Hence closing.

A user at https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=328029 got
immediate access to a HL-L2375DW on the network.

Cheers,
