Today I wasn't able to print anymore.

After having a look the last comments I tried "ipp://192.168.0.xxx/ipp/print" instead of "ipp://192.168.0.xxx/ipp/port1" and somehow it worked again.

I hate all of this. :(

If you hate cups as much as I do => 

sudo lpadmin -p Brother_L8260CDW \
        -E \
        -v "ipp://192.168.8.126/ipp/print" \
        -P /usr/share/ppd/brother_hll8260cdw_printer_en.ppd

Thanks @andreabenini. You pointed me in the right direction. It's a bug in this package. The missing file is there but not in the right path or a script uses the wrong path or whatever.

To fix it temporarily:

> cd /opt/brother/Printers/hll8260cdw/lpd/
> sudo ln -s x86_64/brhll8260cdwfilter

I am now using:

brother-hl-l8260cdw 1.5.0-1

in a new laptop from a clean installation. Cups, ghostscript, psutils and all usually required deps and utils are already installed. With this driver and this version I'm not able to print while with my old laptop (arch linux there too on the same HL-L8260CDW printer) everything works fine.
error_log lead me to:

[Job 18] sh: line 1: /opt/brother/Printers/hll8260cdw/lpd/brhll8260cdwfilter: No such file or directory

and the file is effectively not there at all. I recovered this filter from the old laptop installation (just a bare copy) and now it works fine. Just for covering details from old laptop:

brother-hl-l8260cdw 1.4.0-1

Some details on my installation and my printer:

AMD_64, (uname -a)
Linux machinename 6.13.5-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu, 27 Feb 2025 18:09:44 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Printer
driver: brother-hl-l8260cdw 1.5.0-1
method: lpd://<ip_address>/BINARY_P1

machinename and <ip_address> info removed

Today no print jobs where actually performed by my Brother HL-L8260CDW anymore. The jobs should up as completed and no errors where shown, but nothing seemed to actually reach the printer.

When I changed the configuration from LPD to IPP, it magically worked again. :D

Thanks @Tetrapyle for the idea!

@nicolarevelant Sorry, you were right about the package dependencies.

/opt/brother/Printers/hll8260cdw/lpd/filter_hll8260cdw from hll8260cdwlpr-1.5.0-0.i386.rpm and /opt/brother/Printers/hll8260cdw/cupswrapper/brother_lpdwrapper_hll8260cdw from hll8260cdwcupswrapper-1.5.0-0.i386.rpm are perl scripts.

I was building in a chroot with only base-devel and it has perl. Several packages in base-devel (autoconf, automake...) depend on perl but none in base.

nicolarevelant commented on 2024-01-24 21:53 (UTC)

@Tetrapyle perl is neither in base nor in base-devel and namcap indicates me it's required.

Tetrapyle commented on 2024-01-17 07:53 (UTC)

Thank you nicolarevelant for adopting the package. I was going to do it, actually, so if you need to... By the way, perl can be removed from the dependencies, I don't think it's necessary and it's already in the base package anyway.

blackout commented on 2024-01-16 22:37 (UTC)

thanks for taking over that package

simontunnat commented on 2023-11-01 10:36 (UTC)

Works well. Thanks! :)
