Ah, now I see what you're getting at - two printer configs
Code:
Default system destination: MFCL2700DW
Device for MFC-L2700DW-series: usb: // Brother / MFC-L2700DW% 20series? serial = E73943H7N560045
Device for MFCL2700DW: usb: // dev / usb / lp0
Only the first URL is valid. Delete the second with
It's not essential, but the printer can be configured as default printer using
Code:
sudo lpadmin -d MFC-L2700DW-series
I have done that. And the change I have seen is that when i send a document for printing there was a sign with the average of the process printing, which wasn't before. I don't know if that makes sense..
That output for textonly.ppd is not relevant for your printer. I note from your earlier post that there is /etc/cups/ppd/MFC-L2700DW-series.ppd, and that is the correct PPD for the printer.
You can cancel any stale/pending print jobs with
Code:
cancel -a
It is possible to send a test print via the CUPS web interface using your favourite browser and navigating to
mx @ mx: ~ $ ls -l / dev / cups / ppd
ls: can not access '/ dev / cups / ppd': The file or directory does not exist
mx @ mx: ~ $ lpstat -t
