| From: Fred Smith <fredex@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | I'm using a Brother DCP7065DN at home, and it seems to work well with | Linux, BUT you have to use Brother's drivers for it. The driver recommended | by the RH printer tool didn't work for me. | | I've printed to it from Centos 6.5, Fedora 19, and Fedora 20, so far. | I've used the scanner portion only from Centos, so far, where it did | work. I've used it with Fedora 18, 19, CentOS 5, and Ubuntu 12.04. I just installed the drivers on my Fedora 20 system, and it's not quite working. First of all, I'm not sure the best way to talk over the network with the printer. Both of these URIs seem to work: dnssd://Brother%20DCP-7065DN._pdl-datastream._tcp.local/ lpd://redpaper.mimosa.com I think that the first uses the IPP protocol and the second is using the old UNIX "line printer daemon" protocol. Perhaps even HP's jetdirect could be used. I put holes in the firewall for IPP, IPP-client In any case, printing works, but the settings are unreliable. One print job came out as if I had legal size paper loaded (so there was extra margin on the top and the bottom was chopped). Another came out the single page image scrunched into a quarter of the paper as if the software were trying to print four pages in one. In both cases, the settings I specified were as I wanted them, not as the result appeared. I was using these drivers from the Brother site: cupswrapperDCP7065DN-2.0.4-2.i386.rpm dcp7065dnlpr-2.1.0-1.i386.rpm BTW, I was able to get scanning to work. Mind you, I have only scanned one page. I had to hole the firewall: sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=54925-54926/udp sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=54925-54926/udp In the past, the page sizing of scanning has been somewhat unreliable. I don't know if this is still true. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
