sudo apt install cups system-config-printer printer-driver-foo2zjs

should do it. This started as a very old thread that pre-dates any maintenance on the foo2zjs debian package.

... just fine (for me) -using a Xerox Phaser 3010 on an old 'original' Pi B+, Using 'the latest 'Raspbian build 2020-05-27'.. You need to install cups first, and get that working.

That sudo command was just to get the cups compatible lpr program installed.
Thanks. I only use it sparingly and only then if advised by someone I trust!

So not me then. With my efforts today (I just could not get things working on my mainframe) I don't trust me.

That sudo command was just to get the cups compatible lpr program installed. It's a serious illness if you catch a dose of sudoitis, the prognosis is that you will ultimately result in destroying a filesystem when you least expect it (by sudo misuse).

Thanks for the replies! @bjtheone: Here's the link to the instructions I followed: https://medium.com/swlh/setup-a-print-server-using-raspberry-pi-cups-part-1-c8f3d48af047 There were a couple things that weren't right about the instructions (like file names for the samba config etc., but I figured ...

... isn't available. Can you print a test page? Because (in the background) that's a PDF, possibly containing images. Pretty much everything in CUPS becomes a PDF at some point or another. Looking at the example PDF, the only slightly unusual detail I see is that there are restrictions on document ...

Hi All, First time poster, and relatively new to Raspberry Pi. I set up a wireless print server using CUPS and Samba using a Raspberry Pi 2. I have everything working wonderfully (much to my surprise, first time Pi project!) except most PDFs that have an image in them will ...

... had managed to create something like this? Or if not, I'm curious as to what potential issues others think I may encounter. I know printing from CUPS is pretty standard - however, I've never made a script to tell it to print automatically and repeatedly before. What do you think is the first ...

... me with my searching, so I’m hopeful someone will be able to guide me in the right direction. I’m trying to use a Bluetooth printer on my 3B+ via cups. I have installed CUPS and anything related to Bluetooth that I could find. The Bluetooth printer is old (Polaroid Pogo) and pretty sure it’s driverless. ...

... for that. Brother provides a pre-compiled driver for x86 linux systems built into a .deb package. It is mostly just configuration files for CUPS and BASH scripts, but there is exactly one binary required for it to function, named rawtobr3. I managed to decompile it and partially rewrite ...

Hi, I'm new to the raspberry pi and to the CUPS software so please forgive me if I make any errors in trying to explain my problem. I'm using my raspberry pi as a print server in an attempt to wirelessly print to my two printers (a Canon iR 3045 ...

There are simple guides. In this case, the printer uses IPP, so it's a simple, single driver for all of them. sudo apt install cups cups-ipp-utils system-config-printer printer-driver-cups-pdf That adds the printer Preferences control panel, the IPP/AirPrint universal driver, as well ...

Have you installed and tried system-config-printer. That's easier than futzing about with CUPS config files.

I have spent several hours with the same problem and then I found this thread. Worked for me as well
I am using Buster updtodate as of a couple of days ago in a Pi 4 4Gb.

All fixed now!

Somewhere there really needs to be some simple ( aka for ex- Windows users) guidelines for the Linux world.

You could share that printer equally easily via CUPS. The HL-5140 has an old, stable driver (hl1250) or you could use a generic PCL 6 driver for it.

... as needed. The printer should now be installed and working from Windows! To access the network printer from a linux client, you need to configure CUPS to use raspberripy printer. For that, access the url http://localhost:631 from the client computer. There click on “Administration”, and then “Add ...
