Did it work in Fedora 10? worked perfectly. it's still working on windows xp, on same computer (and another one). So the 'Brother HL-1430 Foomatic/gutenprint-ijs-simplified.5.2' driver fails in Fedora 11. Let's try the native CUPS gutenprint driver to eliminate foomatic from the equation. Select System->Administration->Printing, double-click on HL-1430-series and click on the 'Change...' button next to the 'Make and Model' label. Now select a driver that says 'Brother HL-1430 CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.3 Simplified' and click Forward, then Apply. Finally, print a test page -- does that give any better result? If that fails, please try the driver named 'Brother HL-1430 Foomatic/hl1250' (this one was the default driver in Fedora 10). If that still fails, try the others. Let me know which driver gives the best results. Same problem here. I tried the suggestions in comment #5, and here I my results: * gutenprint-ijs-simplified.5.2: doesn't print, the "data LED" blinks for a while, but then it stops and nothing is printed. This was the default driver selected, by the way. * gutenprint-ijs.5.2: same as previous one. * hpijs: works. * hl1250: reports printer as stopped. * lj4dith: does not work, the printer does feed a paper but nothing is printed on it. * ljet4: same lj4dith. Briefly: hpijs is the only driver that works, the rest don't. It's strange that the hl1250 doesn't work as it was the one I used to have configured in F10. I think the reason the hl1250 driver wasn't working was foomatic: see bug #496521. Perhaps you could try the "test update" foomatic package (4.0.2-3.fc11) and report whether the hl1250 driver works once again? http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=112804 ok, i was three weeks in holiday so now, back to office, i can confirm the report from #6. i will download from koji and report more. ok, with foomatic 4.0.2-3.fc11.i586, hl1250 works, hpijs works, ljet4 "prints" a blank page as before, and the others (guten*{simplified}* and lj4dith) send data but nothing gets printed.
thank you.
Great. So the only remaining problem is that foomatic thinks those other drivers are able to work with this device. This is essentially the same as bug #513667. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 513667 *** |
