Wirless printer not recognising the LPD connection

Post by RobR »

I've installed a Brother HL-2135W printer which appears to be installed correctly.
I downloaded the package - cupswrapperHL2130-2.0.4-2.i386.deb
However I cannot print anything. The print jobs show up in the CUPS (Jobs) tab OK. Well maybe as shown below

ID -Brother_HL-2130_series-27
Name Unknown
User - Withheld
Size -26k
Pages-Unknown
State Control - processing sinceThu 13 Mar 2014 11:02:39 PM EST
"Unable to locate printer "BRW00809285B7B8"."

This is the setting for the printer:
Description: Brother HL-2130 series
Location: Anywhere
Driver: Brother HL2130 for CUPS (grayscale, 2-sided printing)
Connection: lpd://BRW00809285B7B8/BINARY_P1
Defaults: job-sheets=none, none media=iso_a4_210x297mm sides=one-sided.

My Wi-Fi is working well. I'm posting this question using this. Checked on Windows computer to see if address is the same and it is.

Any ideas of where to go from here
Thanks in advance

posted some success with wireless: most seem to advocate a fixed IP for the wireless printer

Hi pdc-2
Thanks for the prompt reply.
Went to the ububtuforums site as you suggested

And this worked well for my HL2135W printer

that's great; well done

........some forums like you to add SOLVED; (and some don't!)

......Mint folks support it, so as you got things fixed, you can celebrate by adding SOLVED to the post: you might even add the Brother HL-2135W to the title as folks search on such things

best wishes
