People,
I try and minimise printing and try and send electronic docs where
possible but sometimes I am forced into producing paper copies.
Because
I use the printer so infrequently, I am not sure if this problem has
started since upgrading from F25 to F26 (x86_64) or whether it was
there
even earlier (I usually update every version). CUPS printer info:
Device URI:
lpd://192.168.1.4/
Make and Model:
Brother HL-5250DN BR-Script3
Trying to print from LibreOffice - no data is sent and the Printer
State
shows:
Idle - Filter failed
Printing the exported PDF with qpdfview works fine and the Printer
State
shows:
Idle - Data file sent successfully.
So for every doc I end up having to export to PDF from LibreOffice and
print from qpdfview . . which is tedious when the thing should be able
to be printed directly. I have spent hours trying all the options (I
thought it might be because I have an imbedded PNG for a signature) and
Googling but haven't found a solution. I have deleted the printer
driver and reinstalled it a number of times . .
I just found trying to print from Google Docs to the printer fails too
.
.
Any suggestions about further debugging?
To answer my own question - this fixed the problem:
dnf update cups-filters
systemctl restart cups
