Making A .run File Run For A Printer Driver Run?

How do I get my Brother DCP-7065DN printer to work with Linux Mint 17? I looked for a solution on the internet and found something that said the brlaser driver works with that printer. But I don't know how to install the driver, even if I download it. Or maybe there is something different I can do. Any ideas?

I checked the Dell support site but can't find the Linux driver for their printer. I don't think they support Linux. My printer is a Dell 968 and I'm using Lubuntu 14.04

Hi Forum,

I have a network printer (HP) running on 192.168.85.24 and I wish to install something that enables me to just shoot pdf och ps files directly to it from the command line, however, it has been hard finding something that describes how to make a bare bones setup like that, the most info I find talk about user interfaces, clicking menues opening web browsers etc, I want things incredibly simple, then they are more robust.

Do you have a tutorial on how to just get an HP-printer to accept ps och or pdf files from the command line?

I run Debian with LXDE and have contact with the printer. (I tested with ping.)

Another question I have is for this forum, do you have a search function? If I had had a search function I would have searched for an answer to the question before posting it.

Kind regards
Johnny

I just got an Epson WF-3620 all-in-one printer last week, to replace an older Epson WF 600 all-in-one. Both of these printers use the same universal Linux driver; it is identified on the Epson website as the ESC/P-R generic driver, version 1.4.4.

With my older Epson WF 600, I had no problems with print quality. With the new printer, copies look great, and test pages are perfect, but when I try to print a document from my hard drive, I get something that looks like a draft-quality printout. Blacks come out pale gray, and anything less than black drops out completely. I've tried changing the media type from plain papers-draft to plain papers-high in Properties/Printer Options, as recommended to another poster with the same problem on forums.openprinting.org, but this didn't work for me.

I tried calling Epson, just on the off chance that I'd get someone familiar with Linux, but wasn't lucky this time. Epson officially doesn't support Linux. I managed after some effort to get them to tell me the procedure for adjusting the print quality in Windows and Mac, just in case I could extrapolate it to Linux, but the menus are completely different.

My computer is a Dell Inspiron 580s desktop. I am running Linux Mint 13.

If no one knows a fix for this, one other thing that would be helpful is any recommendations for other all-in-one printer brands that support Linux. Thanks.

When I installed mint today from cd, I had to use the save-mode because of the nvidia card. So I was aware I had to change driver after install.

Right after install I checked these '10 thing to first do after install'.

I did these
Improve battery life
Change screensaver timing
Install RAR

Then I checked the driver manager to deal with the graphic driver. I tried all 3 in the driver manager, but with each mint crashes with this message right after login.

cinnamon just crashed you are currently running in Fallback Mode
It asks if I want to restart, click 'yes' and it just refreshes the screen with the same message. click 'no' the message goes away but cinnamon does not work.

So I don't know if its crashing because of the driver or because of those things I changed after the install.

I googled some and this issue is all over linux forums, but I can't find a solution anywhere.

I am trying to setup HP P1102 printer on Ubuntu 14.04. I have downloaded foo2zjs-z2 and hplip-3.14.10 but I do not know what to do with them. The computer recognines printer but it will not print. I have already tried test page 161 times. please help.

Hi there. I'm new to Linux. My son installed it. First, I was pleased. Then I was angry: we have three printers in the house. It was incompatible with them all (when I connected the printer, it did not automatically install it. Now I'm frustrated. I have been to sites to find out what version of Linux I have. I am not a techie. I worked out how to get into the black terminal screen. I worked out how to write the command uname -a and got the answer Ubuntu 109. I don't know what this means but I then worked out how to put a command in $ sudo apt-get install cnijfilter-ip4500series to install the printer. It asked me for my password. I entered the password I use to open the user interface when I turn on the laptop. No dice. I need to distribute posters this pm. I will have to spend more money, going into town to get them from there. Not great. Any help appreciated. Advice, guidance, kind words of encouragement....

O/s: Xandros 3.0.3 Business
Laptop: Dellc840
Given: Wireless card recognized by laptop and executable driver file sitting waiting for installation.

Question:When I click on the .exe file (driver file) it opens and installs somewhere that I can't find, even with the Tools - Find Files/Folders option using the *.inf file format as a search handle.
How do I control where this file opens to? If I could control where it opens to, I could then find it to install it for use.

Hi,
Decided to dip my toe in the Linux pool with Puppy 5.2.8 from a magazine cover disc. I would like to use it with my faithful old Samsung SF-4300 C SmartJet printer but this model is not listed on the printer set-up menu. Anyone out there managed to make this connection?

The PC is a Dell Dimension 4550 Series with Win XP installed but I suspect the hard drive is on the blink, hence my interest in a RAM-based alternative.

I would be very grateful for your suggestions.

Hey guys, I'm trying to send my text document to my printer but I'm not having too much luck.

I'm typing lpr -p hpprinter test.txt

In order to trouble shoot can you please advise me on.....

01. Should the -p be an uppercase P ?

02. How do I set the default printer?

I just want to make sure I have these right.

Thanks
