Calicosine<p>Pro tip: If you have a Brother laser printer and it's not working on Linux over a network to print but scanning works, you may need to switch it from IPP over the IPP protocol to IPP over the DNSSD protocol.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/BrotherPrinter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BrotherPrinter</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/printers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>printers</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/LinuxPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxPrinting</span></a></p>

royal<p>Edit: I installed drivers from the Brother website. Can you believe it? Much better results. The printer was functional before, but much better quality now. </p> <p><a href="https://theres.life/tags/cups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cups</span></a> help please.</p><p>My printer insists on printing at 300dpi, and I know it's capable of higher.</p><p>I don't see any UI choice to change this (PopOS, KDE Plasma). I do see 300 listed in the PPD files. If I change (say) the DefaultResolution line from 300 to 600 and restart cups, it appears to regenerate the file clobbering my changes.</p><p>How do I force this to print at a higher resolution?</p><pre><code>Brother_MFC_J6945DW.ppd:*DefaultResolution: 300dpi<br>Brother_MFC_J6945DW.ppd:*cupsPrintQuality Normal/Normal: "&lt;&lt;/HWResolution[300 300]&gt;&gt;setpagedevice"<br>Brother_MFC_J6945DW.ppd:*cupsPrintQuality High/High: "&lt;&lt;/HWResolution[300 300]&gt;&gt;setpagedevice"<br></code></pre><p><a href="https://theres.life/tags/linuxDesktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linuxDesktop</span></a> <a href="https://theres.life/tags/linuxHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linuxHelp</span></a> <a href="https://theres.life/tags/linuxPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linuxPrinting</span></a> <a href="https://theres.life/tags/printing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>printing</span></a> <a href="https://theres.life/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a></p>
Paolo Amoroso<p>It&#39;s not as fancy as AI but you know what blows my mind? Turning on my wireless printer and getting a notification the unit was configured while I figure where the print manager is on my newly installed Linux Mint system.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LinuxPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LinuxPrinting</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LinuxMint" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LinuxMint</span></a></p>

chomwitt<p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LinuxPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LinuxPrinting</span></a> I have an Epson L3151 connected to an ubuntu box and a debian box can print from network. So for some months i am happy. But my big fear is that printers fail easily and are not fixable.. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ifixit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ifixit</span></a> should make repairability scores for printers.. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LinuxHardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LinuxHardware</span></a></p>
