The driverless stuff DOES NOT work, and you cannot delete it until you un-install the cups-browser. You can delete it, and cups says its deleted, but in the 5 seconds it gives you to read the deleted msg, cups-browser has recreated it again so its still there by the time you click on printers again. And it blocks the makers drivers which in the case of Brother, do everything the printer is capable of. Driverless might work with some of the recent $40 printers, but it is a long way from being ready for prime time on a 5 yo $700 printer.At least you could print a test page throughout. Here we're in danger of running before we can walk.
in the case of a brother printer. If the printer is a multifunction, you can chose to use tray 1 with $1 a page photo paper in it or tray 2 with 20 lb duplex copy paper in it, but the everywhere driver can only drive it to use the dollar a page paper. That is what happens with the Brother MFC-J6920DW, It won't do duplex either but that printer senses the paper, and will not do duplex w/o changing the paper. I moved some copy paper to that drawer and could not get it to do duplex with the everywhere.
.I also have a brother utility laser, a $120 el-cheapo HHL2120 that can do duplex at about 25 pages a minute, the everywhere driver does simplex only at about 6 pages
a minute.I've known Mike since the 1980's, we do not talk, his choice. So it does me no good
to send a message to the cups list. From me, it goes straight to /dev/null..So let me know when the everywhere drivers /actually/ do work. They do not now.
Take care and stay well, David. Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
