The printer is only about 3 years old. I did some more searching and investigation and I seem to have fixed it. I had selected the 'cupswrapper_driver' from the Brother site, that was giving me the error when I tried to install it. I tried downloading the 'LPR_Driver' and installed that, I was then ...

Running Mint 19 64 bit I am trying to install a Brother printer on my desktop. The printer is a Brother MFC-J4410DW and is remote so can't connect via USB, but on the network. I have CUPS installed and my HP printer works (but the printer itself is rubbish!) When I try to install it I select Network...

Brilliant! I was a bit concerned that it didn't mention the scanner at all, but after running it I can scan..
Thank you

I recently upgraded to Mint 19, fresh install. My HP Photosmart 5510 printer scanner was a real pain on Mint 18, but 19 the printer just installed from SYstem Settings > Harware > Printers and it works! No need to install any of the HP stuff, result! Now, how do I install the scanner? I just plugged...

Thanks for your help, I have posted info on the bug report. For anyone else with the problem this is what I did - downloaded from https://pkgs.org/download/libexpat1 Ubuntu 16.04 versions (tried 17.10 versions but does not fix the problem) libexpat1_2.1.0-7ubuntu0.16.04.3_i386.deb libexpat1_2.1.0-7u...

This looks to me like a Mint 19 issue, so is there a better place to report it? I am running FreeCAD on Mint 19 Cinnamon and it is crashing. I still have Mint 18 on my laptop and I can run it successfully on that. I am experiencing a crash when I import a .svg file. Tried on FreeCAD 0.18 AppImage an...

Thanks smurphos, you seem to have solved all of my problems!

OK I tried both of your suggestions and neither worked. I did see some conflict errors as I had 5.1 installed and it expected 5.2 What I have done - apt purge virtualbox-guest* removed VirtualBox via Synaptic downloaded and installed 5.2.12 from the Oracle site, note that I had to go back to the ver...

I have just installed Mint 19 in an Oracle Virtual Box, host is Mint 18.3.
When I start it I get a message - 'Running in software rendering mode'.
Current drivers are
virtualbox-guest-x11-hwe
virtualbox-guest-dkms-hwe

How do I fix it?

Thanks

Just tried installing following that link. If I select print from an application, eg xviewer, it uses CUPS and allows me to select plain paper or slide transparency. They give very poor results on photo paper. I can also open the HPLIP Toolbox, there I can select photo paper, but any attempt to prin...

It's been a while since I opened this and I still have not resolved it. I have also tried installing the HP driver software, a most frustrating experience. That does allow me to select photo paper, but then it fails with error code 1, "lpdr -P HP-Photosmart-5510-series -o page-set=all". I have just ...

No, it prints and it is OK but noticeably darker than the display on screen.

Running Mint 18.1 Cinnamon and CUPS 2.1.3 I have an HP PhotoSmart 5510 printer scanner. It has been working fine for a while but today I want to print some photos from Image Viewer. In the printer dialogue I can select Image Quality as High-Resolution Photo but I then see a warning "Some of the sett...

Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I have made the changes and as the problem is not reproducible I just have to wait and see if it happens again.

I will post again if it happens

Thanks

Running Mint 18.1 Cinnamon 64-bit on my laptop. Sometimes, maybe 1 in 20 times, I power up and enter my password at the prompt and see the black screen with just the cursor arrow as usual, but it just stops there. There is some disk activity from the light but nothing shows on the screen. I have lef...

Thanks for the reply. I changed from xserver-xorg-video-nouveau driver to nvidia-340 a while back as it was causing catastrophic failures with VirtualBox. I have just changed from that to nvidia-375 and I have green dots at boot!! Also it seems to boot faster, but that maybe my imagination. Some of ...

Can anyone help me with this? Does the colour of the dots indicate a potential problem?

Yes it boots OK, seems a bit slow to boot sometimes but could be my imagination Here is the output mick@MintDesk18-1 ~ $ inxi -Fxz System: Host: MintDesk18-1 Kernel: 4.4.0-53-generic x86_64 (64 bit gcc: 5.4.0) Desktop: Cinnamon 3.2.7 (Gtk 3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3) Distro: Linux Mint 18.1 Serena Machine: Mo...
