Did you keep a backup of the old working config files on that system? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
For me it's these files; I just append a date to the end of the file: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
/etc/cups/ |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
cupsd.conf.15mar2015 |
| 19 |
cups-files.conf.3apr2015 |
| 20 |
printers.conf.15mar2015 |
| 21 |
snmp.conf.15mar2015 |
| 22 |
|

That way it's fairly trivial to re-construct working cups files |
| 25 |
after an upgrade has gone errant..... |
| 26 |
Do you have backups of the /etc/cups/ dir? |
| 27 |
If it worked on the acer it should work everywhere. Often I just copy |
| 28 |
/etc/cups/* files from one systems to the next, rather than deal with |
| 29 |
that ever_changing cups interface. Also, brother printers, like most, |
| 30 |
work better in a linux/unix centric network when they are ethernet |
| 31 |
connected. If you have your printers plugged into ethernet, then you |
| 32 |
can connect to them (via ethernet) by just typing in the ip address of the |
| 33 |
printer into your web browser. That makes checking the embedded printer |
| 34 |
configuration much simpler. |
