Yes and yes. The CUPS admin page page shows the printer, but the test
page in the queue has "Unable to locate printer".
To be clear, the printer does physically work with the Brother
driver.
On installing the brlaser driver I created a new printer and marked
it
as default, but didn't uninstall the Brother software. It's possible
that this is causing some kind of interference, so I'll uninstall it
and try again.
I removed the old driver and it made no difference.
Since this is getting off-topic wrt the original thread subject, I'm
going to re-post as a new topic.
