So this printer is the current wirecutter.com recommendation
for best cheap laser printer. After introducing it to dhcpd
so that the IP address is fixed, I was ready to introduce it
to cups.
Add Printer -> Discovered Network Printers
-> select Brother HL-L2340D series...
(next screen) Connection: lpd://BRWD80F9967A5AB/BINARY_P1
(hit Continue)
Or Provide a PPD file: Browse... brother-HLL2340D-cups-en.ppd
-> Add Printer
-> Set Default Options
Which gives me, after some screen changes:
Brother_HL-L2340D_series (Idle, Accepting Jobs, Not Shared)
Description: Brother HL-L2340D series
Location:
Driver: Brother HL-L2340D for CUPS (grayscale, 2-sided printing)
Connection: lpd://BRWD80F9967A5AB/BINARY_P1
Defaults: job-sheets={job_sheets_default} media=iso_a4_210x297mm
sides=one-sided
I hit ^P, the print dialog comes up, I select this printer, and all
looks good, except if I go look at jobs, I see:
ID Name User Size Pages State Control
Brother_HL-L2340D_series-124 Unknown Withheld 1k Unknown
canceled at

What gives?
I am on the verge of installing linux on a box to deal with this.
Thanks,
Russell
