I have tried to install a brother hl2170w without success under Porteus a derivative of slax.
Here is the procedure that I have followed:
1) downloaded and converted them into slackware packages with rpm2txzthe two necessary printer drivers:
http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bs ... l#HL-2170W
- LPR: brhl2170wlpr-2.0.2-1.i386.rpm
- cupswrapper:cupswrapperHL2170W-2.0.2-1.i386.rpm
2) downloaded and installed additional packages:
ghostscript-9.00-i486-2
ghostscript-fonts-std-8.11-noarch-1
gutenprint-5.2.6-i486-1
3) edited file:
/usr/local/Brother/cupswrapper/cupswrapperHL2170W-2.0.2
changed this line:
port=usb:/dev/usb/lp0
for usb :
port=usb://Brother/HL-2170W%20series
Within kword HL-2170W is idle. Trying to print a job a message box opens and closes fast, but no printing. From
http://localhost:631/printers/HL2170W, using the maintenance dialog box to get a print test page, there is no printing neither.
However, I get the following error message:
The page your are trying to view is the result of posted form data. If you resend the data, any action the form carried out (such as search or online purchase) will be repeated.
What do you suggest?
