Hi jarp53,

It would help to have more information, see FYI below:

Just go into your Settings Menu, then System Settings, then Firewall, Enable the firewall if it is not, then click "+Add" on the right, on "policy" change to "allow", on "port" you can scroll through the list to see if a "rule" already exists, or click "port" and enter the port number "54921,54925" without quotes, for protocol use "any protocol", then enter a description for this "firewall rule", ex: "HP or Epson, or whatever kind of printer rule", click the "+add" button on bottom, that's it, click "close". Look at the firewall rules to make sure your new rule is there, then exit the system settings. That should do it ...


FYI: It would help everyone here to have more information about your system's setup: like what edition and version of Linux Mint are you using, Cinnamon, Mate, KDE (my favorite), or Xfce; version 17 or 17.1, or What?; 32-bit or 64-bit? Some more information about your hardware would be useful as well. You can get this information from top of your system menu's Welcome screen, System Information program(s), and the best is by typing in "inxi -Fxz" from a console terminal prompt, which you can then copy and paste back here. This information helps anyone here in this forum to be able to answer any questions you may have better , thanks. You can even add this information (abbreviated) to your signature using the control panel link in the above left of this forum screen; then when you post a question or reply to one, that info will automatically be there, ex: see mine and others below their posts.

Hi jarp53,

You are welcome.

How is this printer connected to your system? Usually, you do not need to concern yourself with firewall ports to install the printer directly to a computer, only if you are going through your router or network.

Here are all the drivers for your "Brother MFC-5890CN" printer in the link below, including scanning. You just need to select the 64-bit ".deb" files and save them to your "/downloads" folder, then just double click each one to install it, starting with the "driver install tool".

Note: nice printer, there appears to be a "firmware" update for this printer which if you have not installed, you should.

Hope this helps ...

the printer is USB connected; and i had install the drivers before, and i could print but not scan , that's when i found the additional requirements i have to do before installing,; i have not been able to open the ports , because in my System Settings i can not find Firewall

[phd21]

Hi jarp53,

Did you install these drivers from the web link I provided? Did you install the scanner driver from that page?

[jarp53]

yes ; the "firmware update" is for windows or macs; but in that same link is the Linux information , there is the list of requirements
