I think I might have been on Precise Pangolin at the time. I don't have android-udev (one source thought that might be relevant).

I can print a test page by holding down the 'go' button on the printer.

I generated the PCL file manually, ran /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb under strace, and it said it succeeded, with no apparent errors in the ioctls (lots of USBDEVFS_REAPURBNDELAY => EAGAIN, but that seems to be some sort of spinlock). The page log simply lists the job as succeeded. I turned debugging up to maximum and the cups error log very verbosely tells me everything succeeded. If it does not, recheck that the labels are installed in the printer, also that the printer is turned on, and the USB cable is connected.I'm trying to get a USB-connected Brother HL-2240 printer to work on Linux (Ubuntu Xenial with cups 2.1.3-4ubuntu0.3). If the printer is installed correctly the printer should print out a test label. To check that the printer is working, right-click on the Brother printer and select Printer Properties.The image below shows settings for a 101mm圆2mm badge pass template. Enable Options to Cut at Every ‘1’ and Cut at End.Please set the label length to 100mm or 3.9”. If you are using the #VBRT3 label, you will need to allow extra space for the expiry tab. Set the Paper Size to match the template you set up in your MRI OnLocation Account and make sure the same labels are installed in the printer.Right-click on the printer, then select Printing Preferences.You need to set the Brother printer preferences to match those of the badge pass template you setup: We also support direct Brother printing with the IP address or Bluetooth should you have restrictions in place.

If you are installing it for an iPad, this must be done on the same Wi-Fi network as the iPad Kiosk will connect to. You can download the latest drivers from the Brother website. Install your Brother on the Wi-Fi network or via hardwire by following the install guide that came with the printer. The example used in the screenshots for this article is a Brother QL-720NW.Īfter installing your printer, set the printer preferences to match those of the badge pass template you set up. These instructions apply to all Brother QL Series printers.
