[Solved] Brother printer Waiting for printer to become available.

Post by Multi_Pass »

I got the printer working.
After entering YES for Device URI the instructions have you select the AUTO option.
This wasn't working for me so I chose the enter IP address option.
I was then able to print a test page. :D

Hi, I had this Brother MFC-J825DW printer working on linux Mint 18.3.
My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 15 and the printer is connected through wifi.
I upgraded my hard drive to a SSD and installed Mint 19 from scratch.
I followed the install instructions from this site- https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/15 - which worked on Mint 18.3.
Now when I try to print a test page it doesn't print and the printer state is Processing - Waiting for printer to become available.
I also noticed if I select change Device URI the current device shows a USB connection.
Also, if I boot into windows the printer works correctly.

Thanks in advance.
