The problem here would appear to be the ipp everywhere driver used by default ignores the tray 2 src, looks at tray 1, and calls for paper, which I have removed from tray 1 because its 50 cents a sheet photo paper. Cups calls them main and bottom. instead of tray 1 or tray 2 but you can select on the set default options screen, bottom, main or automatic, in all 3 cases the printer looks at the top tray only.gene heskett writes:I give up, the driverless printer cups installs automaticaly cannot be deleted and has taken over from the brother drivers that work, preventing me from using the printer at all. So how do I disable the driverless junk? Is that a separate package that is removable? cups doesn't even offer to disable this non-working garbage. Thanks for any good clues.Hi Gene. If its a network connected printer, then the driverless connection will be PROBABLY default to PCL5e/PCL6, (or maybe ipp,) which the modern Brother printers support. Older Brother printers do not support PCL and/or ipp, and require a specific Brother printer set of drivers for network connectivity. If its an older printer, you might attempt a re-install of the Brother printer drivers, and cups(1) SHOULD remove any existing PCL/ipp drivers during installation, (famous last words.) BTW, x86_64-linux-gnu has to be installed on my machines for the the Brother printer drivers to compile. /etc/cups/ppd/* and/or /usr/local/Brother/* and/or /opt/Brother/* may provide some information.

The printer also has a net port, assigned a local address, and sane even uses it to drive its scanner, but any attempts to set up a net que are met with a no device

All I get from localhost:631->print test page,
is endless requester's on the printer screen for more paper in tray 1.I am repairing an $850 Prusa 3d printer by modifying the problem parts with better stuff. But the teardown instructions are 61 pages, using the everywhere default, the printer goes busy for about the time the print job should take, 20 minutes or so, never moves any thing looking for paper, and at the end of the receiving data time, reverts to its idle screen.
The other half of the problem is that I've known Mike Sweet since his college days in the later '80's when we were both using color computers. Now I can't even subscribe to the
cups.org user mailing list.I have 2 brother printers here, the other is the workhorse $120 laser, and it works.
But it is B&W and what I want to print is in color and color of wires is important for this.
I'll move some duplex copy paper to tray 1 just for S&G. Test page works. And so does the 61 page instructions doc, but single sided, and face up meaning its printing the last page first, will use 61 sheet of paper and take a couple hours. And I canceled the job, it is not printing any of the pix from the web pages. This, using the brother drivers, is a
4 pages a minute in full color. I just found that utilities man page for driverless, and had it generate a ppd with this commandline:driverless cat driverless:ipp://Brother%20MFC-J6920DW._ipp._tcp.local/ >MFC-J6920DW.ppd
And that MFC-J6920DW.ppd is attached. If that is what it got from the printer, it looks busted to me.
Thanks John. Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
