Hello,

i try to install my Printer, but in Cups not come the local port. I take
a look in the handbook and have built the kernel new, but the printer 
want not work. When i take in the USB:

Did you include CONFIG_USB_PRINTER support in your new kernel?  If it's a module,
is the module loaded?

There are some usb printer drivers (eg my HP printer) that don't want the usb
useflag set in the cups package, but I don't know about Brother printers.  You
might build cups both ways as a test if you can't find anything else wrong.

Does it have ethernet? If so, try to set it up over the ethernet
and save the USB port for windows printing ? 
(just a thought).

No it has no ethernet. Windows, i have only Gentoo Power in my flat
since one month.

It run, i try with sabayon the printer run without any problems. I
have the printer
at my router, no problem. But so direct want not run, but i compile a new kernel
now, maybe then run.

[Silvio Siefke]

I has compile new kernel, but the result is same. 

CONFIG_USB_ACM=y
CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=y
CONFIG_USB_WDM=y
CONFIG_USB_TMC=y

I use the handbook for usb and usb printer. 

Uff. When on Sabayon run, should run on gentoo too, or?

All I know about Sabayon is that it is based on gentoo, but I've never
used it.  I think your printer should work on *any* linux distro, so
gentoo should find and use your printer just as well as Sabayon :)

I would compare the dmesg on Sabayon to the dmesg on gentoo.  I think
that should tell you if the kernel configuration is different or wrong
on gentoo.  Your printer should be connected and powered on, of course,
when you boot the computer ;)

I would take the kernel config from the OS that works and use that to
compile a kernel on Gentoo.  That should eliminate the kernel being the
problem.  Also, compare the outputs from lspci -k and make sure the same
kernel drivers are being used.  It could be that it is trying to use one
that it shouldn't.

Setting up printers is often and adventure under linux.

Sometimes googling (searching) and reading is your 
best bet to figure out how to install the brother printer
under linux.


For example, are you going to hack /etc/
(printcap) directly or use an software
package such as CUPS and hack the brother 
support into CUPS? <google is your friend>.

I just found this.
http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_Brother_Printer/Scanners

I have a (brand new) brother MFC-6710DW, but I'm going
to figure out how to make it work via the ethernet
port. Since you are using the usb port, include that
factoid in your google searches. I keep getting
"diverted" from working on this new install, but,
when I'm done, I'll share the info on a wiki or
on bugs.gentoo.org.

If you document your efforts and then post them to
bugs.gentoo.org
you can get some more accurate documentation started
for gentoo specific installations.


Oh, I just found this:

Hi,

i don't really remember where - perhaps search the mailinglist-archive - but i 
think i've read that cups and the USB_PRINTER-module are not working perfectly 
together... try to compile it as module or disable it and compile cups with 
usb-support... 

I use epson-drivers for my all-in-one printer and have no problems... but i 
print and scan via Wifi...

Last time I printed on a Brother printer (can't recall model) I had 
CONFIG_USB_PRINTER disabled and cups compiled with the USB flag enabled.

I've had to do that in recent kernel versions with my Kyocera laser too. 
This is an amd64 box, so that means kernel 3.4.9.

Hello,

i have found what is the mistake, and it's so easy. 

When in kernel usb printer compiled in, then must compile cups without
usb. Now all run. Well done. Thanks for support. 


Nice evening or day where ever are.

Now I wish I had posted what I was thinking.  I was thinking I had to do
that a few months ago with my HP.  I couldn't recall which one was
enable and which was disable.  You may find it in the message after cups
installs too, those einfo things.  I had cleared mine a week or so back
so mine was gone. 

Glad you got it going tho.

Silvio,

Thank you for sharing.  How did you figure out what the solution was?
