I've got a Brother HL-L2360D series printer connected to Centos 7. CUPS lists it as Generic PCL6/PCL Printer - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9 . When I tell it to print a pdf file, it prints at most the first page.
After powering the thing off and turning it on again, it printed page 3 of pages 3-6 . On trying it again, the thing claimed it was receiving data and printed page 3 of pages 3-6 again.
I've tried to delete the printer so I could add it again, but CUPS won't let me. CUPS quit asking for a password, it just says Forbidden.
How do I print the pdf file? How do I keep this from happening again?
This is not the first time I've had to do a deep dive into CUPS or something to get printing done.
I gave up on HP printers because I had to buy new cartridges practically every time I wanted to print. Only being able to print the first page, if anything, is not much of an improvement.
My girlfriend has an HP printer that works, so I suppose they are not all like mine.
My 2360D works fine on C7, but I did install the Brother drivers.
I configured it on C8 without the Brother drivers, using CUPS at port 631 where it appears to work properly, though I've not printed a lot on it from c8.
On C8 CUPS reports that I configured it thusly:
Brother HL-2460 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.14
