I had tried that also, but tried it again. before my last try, I power-cycled the printer. This time it worked. For some reason CUPS now shows two queue names: HL-L2360D-series Brother HL-L2360D series localhost.localdomain HL-L2360D HLL2360D both Brother HL-L2360D for CUPS .

Voila! I think they were the same packages that I tried to use. In any case, they both ended in 386. Had not heard of system-config-printer . Neither man, info nor --help helped. What is it suppoded to do? Google suggests it is a GUI. Google also suggests that it is always started through a GUI.

Here are two entries from /etc/cups/printers.conf: My printer worked in July. At the time, it did not have Brother drivers. I don't know what update broke it or how. Is there an easy way to rename or alias a queue? -- Michael hennebry at web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards
