Hi all;
I have a network based Brother HL 4040-CN printer.
I tried to set it up with cups via ipp://address/ipp/ but could never communicate with the printer this way - I keep getting this error: "Destination printer does not exist!"
I can setup an lpd printer but the colors are all muddy and dark.
Thoughts ?

Only info I can give is peripheral: My HL2070N works great when configured as IPP in the same manner as you show. (it's a cheap monochrome laser printer). NOTE: you probably need to specify port 631--mine does:
ipp://192.168.2.99:631/ipp
which works fine here.

I suspect that color quality depends very much on the paper you use.

My only experience with Brother printers is with an all-in-one. Brother supplied a linux driver for it (along with lots of drivers for other models) and it worked perfectly. It might be worth checking their website.
