I am trying to complete the final step for install my Brother QL-1060N printer in terminal. The command works fine in Ubuntu 18.04
:
lpr -P QL -1060N -o raw pdt5030a.bin
According the man
there is no "-o" option for lpr
in Ubuntu Studio 20.04. When I do the above command the output is
usage: lpr [-cdfghlmnpqrstv] [-#num] [-1234 font] [-C class] [-i [numcols]]
[-J job] [-Pprinter] [-T title] [-U user] [-wnum] [name ...]
Simply dropping -o raw
gives me the error
lpr: QL-1060N: unknown printer
I also received the unknown printer error when I try
lpr -P "QL-1060N" pdt5030a.bin
I used TAB
so Ubuntu Studio 20.04 would tell me the available options:
ENVY_Photo_7800 ENVY_Photo_7800_fax hp_LaserJet_1012 QL-1060N QL-1060N-2
With QL-1060N looking the same I did sudo nano /etc/cups/printers.conf
to check for white space. None exists.
I don't understand what syntax I am suppose to give. The "read me" file I'm referring to is included in the CUPSwrapper printer driver (deb package)
The output for lpstat -t
is
system default destination: QL-1060N-2
