Brother DCPJ100 Unable to open print file
I have followed the instructions here to install my Brother DCPJ100 printer on slacko puppy. When I tried to print a test page nothing happened. On checking active jobs in CUPS under 'state#' it says the following:

1. Which version of Slacko is this?
2. That error message is of no consequence. It shows up in recent Slackos. If your printer doesn't work, there is some other problem.
3. Please state exactly what steps you performed.
4. How is your printer connected - USB or networked?
5. Look in the folder /opt/brother/Printers/dcpj100. Do you see three folders named cupswrapper, inf, lpd?
6. Run CUPS and delete this printer. Then let CUPS rediscover it and add it again.
7. I ran some simulated tests and it looks OK to me.

1. It's version 6.3.0
3. I followed your instructions for brother, downloaded and installed debbi, then used debbi to install the lpr and cupswrapper files ussing terminal. It came up with all sorts of warnings etc but you said in most cases these can be ignored.
4. The printer is connected by USB.
5. In the folder there is no lpd file.
6. I have deleted it in cups, installed it using cups, but no difference, still won't print. When it asks for the ppd file what is this?
Thanks

Then you have made a mistake. The two DEB files I downloaded wereDachsund wrote:5. In the folder there is no lpd file.
Code: Select all
dcpj100lpr-3.0.0-1.i386.deb
dcpj100cupswrapper-3.0.0-1.i386.deb
That's the two files I downloaded and installed with debbi, the lpr file first then the cupswrapper file.
I've just tried installing them again with debbi,
attached is the screenshot

Have you set the paper size correctly? There are instructions in How to Install Brother Printers and Scanners.
Using my Brother MFC-J470DW and Slacko630, I printed several text documents. In all cases, the margins were honoured.
If you are printing from a word processor, you could try setting a larger top margin.
