Earlier today I discovered that I could not print from this Fedora 32. It has always printed without a problem. The printer is Ethernet connected to my LAN. I have gone through the setup with cups, the fedora/gnome admin app, and now the Brother liinux install tool.
Cups shows: HLL5100DN http://localhost:631/printers/HLL5100DN HLL5100DN Brother HLL5100DN for CUPS Paused - "could not create directory "/root/BRF": Permission denied"
The Brother install tool quits when it tries to make a test print and finds it can't see the printer:
lpadmin -p HLL5100DN -v cups-brf:/ -E Test Print? [y/N] ->y
wait 5s. lpr -P HLL5100DN /usr/share/cups/data/testprint ls: cannot access '/etc/udev/rules.d/*.rules': No such file or directory ls: cannot access '/etc/udev/rules.d/*.rules': No such file or directory Hit Enter/Return key.
I began writing this yesterday, this morning we tried and were able to print from a Mac portable via wifi so that says the printer works at least. Something is corrupted in my computer it appears?
And doing "ctrl p" fails with:
Cups shows: HLL5100DN http://localhost:631/printers/HLL5100DN HLL5100DN Brother HLL5100DN for CUPS Paused - "could not create directory "/root/BRF": Permission denied"
The Brother install tool quits when it tries to make a test print and finds it can't see the printer:
lpadmin -p HLL5100DN -v cups-brf:/ -E Test Print? [y/N] ->y
Any thoughts on what to do? Bob
