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.
