Printer won't work in Xenial 64

[willithepuppy]

Hello everyone, for over 10 years I use puppy. The biggest thing there is. I do not remember which version I started with.
Please excuse my sometimes bad English, it comes from the google translator.

My mother tongue is German.

And a question (or better two) I have the same. After switching to Xenialpup I can not print anymore. It was possible with L64-514.

Which Brother drivers do I need to download? Printer is DCP-J7 725DW.

The second question: Why does it take a while (until 30s) for Frisbee to assign an Internet address.

Is there a faster method? It does not have to be Frisbee either.

Hallo willithepuppy. I have tested the following procedure to install my Brother Hl2130 Printer in Xenial64 7.5. It works for me but it's not a official procedure and it may contain errors. You should use the lpr and the cupswrapper deb drivers for your printer from:

http://support.brother.com/g/s/id/linux ... DCP-J725DW

Install debbi 1.3 from:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 619#306619

Download through quickpet the 32 bit compatibility sfs and load it by sfs-load-on-the-fly. Run in console:

Code: Select all

ldconfig

Copy in /usr/bin the following script named start32 with execute permissions:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/dash
# 32-bit compatibility wrapper script for Fatdog64 710
export USE_ARCH=32

### launch command
if [ $# -ne 0 ]; then
	exec linux32 "$@"
else
	exec linux32 sh # otherwise linux32 will launch login shell and ignore our env above
fi

Copy in /root/Startup the following script named cups-fix with execute permissions:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
/etc/init.d/cups stop
start32 /etc/init.d/cups start

Install your lpr and cupswrapper drivers with debbi. In my case I run:

Code: Select all

debbi hl2130lpr-2.1.0-1.i386.deb
debbi cupswrapperHL2130-2.0.4-2.i386.deb

(change using your drivers).

Reboot. Open the browser at localhost:631 and add your printer: you should discover the right driver in the list.

Thank you, I will give it a try and report.

watchdog, you are the GREATEST !!!
Everything looks well! Now I've printed my first Page in Xenion.
Because I'll run Xenion whithout any Savefile (fully commented out) , I'd to build a new Xenion.sfs, but still works very well.
That's exactly what I wanted. Many Thank's.
