Brother MFC210C prints MEPIS Test Page, nothing else
Posts: 23
After following the Brother MFC210C wiki on the MEPIS site, I managed to get the printer to print the "MEPIS Printer Test Page" using CUPS. Beautiful. But I cant print anything else, whether I use Open Office Writer, KWrite, GNU Nano, or GNU print browser Konqueror. I had a lot of trouble loading the files from the two Brother downloads into MEPIS; I did a lot of them manually. I am thinking I may have put a file in the wrong place, so it cant be found and sent to the printer. I see all my print jobs in queue in KJobViewer. One is "processing" and the others are in queue. I identified the file which contains the MEPIS test page, so I guess the file(s) which contain the output of KJob Viewer should be someplace near, (?) Does anybody know the name of the file which gets sent to the printer? Thanks! PS-MEPIS rocks!

Thanks, EnigmaOne! The file is there, and it gets populated with print manager output, just like you said. I found a missing file from the Brother d/l, but it's not in CUPS. ARK won't let me move it from the /tmp folder to the /usr/lin/libbrcompij2.so.1.0.2 where it belongs. Thanks again! PS-MEPIS rocks!

Print jobs are spooled in /var/spool/cups , and the file names vary according to time and precedence.
