[arch-general] Trying to get Brother HL2035 to work...

[fons at kokkinizita.net]

Hello all,

I installed everything required to use the Brother HL2035
printer as described on the wiki:

<http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Brother_HL-2030>.

This all worked nicely, the printer shows up in Cups,
but nothing gets printed...

Trying to print a test page (or anything else) launches
some processes:

daemon    1678  1645  0 12:25 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperHL2030 16 anonymous Test Page 1 job-uu
daemon    1679  1645  0 12:25 ?        00:00:00 usb:/dev/usb/lp0 16 anonymous Test Page 1 job-uuid=urn:uuid:d460eeb3-d9b9-32b7-
daemon    1705  1678  0 12:25 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/local/Brother/lpd/filterHL2030
daemon    1733  1705  0 12:25 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/Brother/lpd/rawtobr2 -pi /usr/local/Brother/inf/paperinf -rc /usr/lo

which remain until the job is canceled.

In /var/log/kernel.log I found this which may be an indication
but I fail to understand what exactly it means:

Apr 11 12:33:51 zita1 kernel: usb 3-1: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'usb' sets config #1
Apr 11 12:33:56 zita1 kernel: usb 3-1: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'usb' sets config #1

lsusb produces:

Tested on two different machines, exactly same result.

Any help to get this working will be appreciated !
