what printers have good GNU Linux support?

GNU Linux (Debian 11) – Brother HL-5450DN reliable Black and White Laser printer – that works out of the box with cups – filter those laser printers

how to set default paper size/format?

how to set default (system wide) paper size?

(creditz)

theoretically it should be set here: (creditz)

/etc/papersize

simply by:

echo "a4" > /etc/papersize

thats how users likes it: simplicity at it’s best = “it just works”, and if it does not “just work”, if it is kept simple, it is easy to fix.

but in this case, LibreOffice chose to ignore this file.

Adding printers

for brother there is an pretty nice install script (just chose USB or HP JetDirect and give (fixed) IP of printer)

… in with the system-config-printer wizard dialog under linux debian gnome2 mate with cups nowadays used to work quiet well as you can see here

su - root
apt update; # on older Debian use apt-get
apt install firefox; # without browser you can not access the cups webinterface
apt install cups cups-client "foomatic-db"; # install cups system itself plus extra drivers
apt install system-config-printer; # <- at least intall this the rest might be optional or already installed

even automatic drivers search worked nicely with one samsung usb printer (not so well with brother and toshiba).

now ONLY THE WEBINTERFACE at http://localhost:631 WORKS flawlessly if you can provide it a PostScript Printer Description (“PPD”) file that fits your printer. (bang your vendor’s door)

now i USB attached an Brother MFC-6490CW (could not get it to print by the way) and realized…

… not anymore. for whatever reason.

by the way: while the older brother printers 9460 / 9465 are very reilable color laser printers that also work well with linux – the ink color printer 6490 has SHITTY SHITTY firmware… (it forget’s network settings) try to find the network settings in it’s panel… it’s catastrophic. i gave up on the 6490 and installed the 9460 with this software:

http://download.brother.com/welcome/dlf006893/linux-brprinter-installer-2.1.1-1.gz

instead… works like a charm AND (!) you can specify the IP address of the printer… thus selecting the right one 😀

now i seem to be able to at least complete the dialog…

also brother does not support direct downloads of *.ppd that you could install with cups webinterface http://localhost:631/

you can get it from here:

http://download.brother.com/welcome/dlf006182/mfc6490cwcupswrapper-1.1.2-2.i386.deb

dpkg -x mfc6490cwcupswrapper-1.1.2-2.i386.deb ./extract; # extract *.deb

run

bash ./cupswrappermfc6490cw; # it is a script

and it will install the printer for you (debian8 only?) and you will find the file.ppd under:

/usr/share/cups/model/brmfc6490cw.ppd

but automatic driver search has no results…

unfortunately test printing resulted into…
