Re: Printing problem Sadly NOT SOLVED
This printer Brother HL-L2340DW has buggy firmware.
When re-installed it killed my CUPS.
.
I can no longer use my local CUPS webpage, my root/admin password is not
accepted.
I instead use system-config-printer, which runs fine.
Thanks to this program I can at least print as root.
But I cannot recommend Brother
On my second PC it runs OK, I never installed it here, just now after
the fiaso on my main PC.
So my hint is: never change a running system!
The Japanese at Brother just want to sell more printers, at least,
that is my assumption.
Have a good New Year!
PS never update your Brother laser printer and never buy them.
