Today I came across a weird #printer problem. From #Debian #Linux I could print to the #Canon PIXMA printer in simplex or #duplex.

BUT, in duplex mode it would print a side, eject the paper, re-load the paper, then eject it again without printing anything on it, and then start the second page on a separate sheet of paper.

This happened from my PC and a separate one using the stock #IPP driver in #CUPS

Annoyingly it works perfectly in Windows...

I need the cheapest #SBC to share a printer on a local network. I only need:
-run #CUPS
-have WiFi (even with a dongle)
-have a USB port
-automatically boot when powered on.

What device would you recommend?

At my home I have a Raspberry Pi 2 and it works fine, but the "Raspberry" brand is on hype lately. Maybe there is something similar at a lower price.

Just printed a test page on my Mom's printer from 266 miles away. That was fun.

Isso tudo me lembra quando eu participava no FISL, não me lembro exatamente, pode ser em 2003 e 2004, e eu dei tutoriais sobre CUPS em Português, com a sala superlotada, pessoal assistindo em pé, os organizadores me daram 3 PCs (cada um com monitor CRT) e 2 impressoras para demonstrações de impressão em rede ...

Em um destes 2 anos tinha também Jon Maddog Hall lá ...

E tinha churrascos deliciosos ...

More details:
- The printer is a Brother HL-L5100DN series.
- I did the configuration of the "Location" in the printer's Web UI (not in CUPS).
- The #LinuxMint printer app only responded with "server-error-internal-error"
- But in the CUPS Web UI I got a proper error message regarding the umlaut.

So the error might very well be in the Brother software, not in CUPS.

To be on the safe side, I still reported the bug to the CUPS team:

My new printer stopped working under #LinuxMint the other day. Re-adding it resulted in a general error message.

Finally found the solution:

In the printer's "location" field, I had specified "Mein Büro" ("My office" in German). And Cups does not like umlauts in that field. 😶

After removing the "ü", the printer worked.

Maybe this information will be helpful to someone, at some point. 🙂
