Hello.
I am having troubles connecting to my Brother HL-L2350DW WiFi printer (no USB; it’s a laptop). I just installed Kicksecure, so I am trying to figure out why my LibreOffice documents won’t print. I installed the system-config-printer
app to connect to my printer. I asked the Debian community in another forum what packages I’m missing. They told me to install some packages from the Debian repos (which they kindly provided), and I obliged. My printer does show up in the Printer Config app under the Network section when you try to add a printer.
But I cannot connect to it. Everytime I think I have made a successful connection to my Brother printer, I cannot print a test page. So I delete the entry and start over again!
I either get 2 things: The previously mentioned “successful connection”, OR this error message POP-UP CUPS server error. There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'server-error-internal-error'.
I have tried disabling CUPS’s AppArmor profiles into complain mode, but still no avail!
I have even tried this solution with Brother’s official “.deb” printer package:
httpswwwlinuxquestionsorgquestions/linux-hardware-18/installation-of-brother-printer-drivers-and-device-uri-number-4175698450
I ultimately believe I am fundamentally encountering a skill issue: I do not adequately know how to troubleshoot printer problems on Linux. I don’t know where to look on my system! Is it /var/logs
?? Do I look there? I know my printer DOES WORK because I have successfully printed a CUPS Test Page from Linux Mint. I just did that 4 weeks ago!
Please help me. Debian or Kicksecure is kicking my ass.
