Blueman bluetooth issues

When running mx 19 I did not have issues running Blueman and connecting to either a bluetooth speaker in the shop (x Leader A8) or to my earbus (TOZO T10). However in mx 21 they are found and recognized by Blueman and the devices will say they are connected but, when playing music or anything throug...

Re: Brother MFC Printer not getting data (Solved)

It would not work at all in MX 19. I tried three times going through the entire process just like suggested on here and each time it would fail at restarting or connecting to cups server. So I ran mx 21 from the usb drive live and set it up on there, saved it to my home downloads folder. Then re ins...

Re: Brother MFC Printer not getting data

That's the way I do it. Except about half the time the printer driver when installed that way doesn't work and I end up deleting it from the list of printers and automatically detecting/installing my Brother. I assume I do something wrong during the installer process but I can't think what it could...

Re: Brother MFC Printer not getting data

The latest version according to brother is linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1.gz Seem the individual deb with gebdi install might not have worked properly, as the cups server was not restarted. Worked here always in MX-19 and MX-21, with using brother's linux-brprinter-installer. I needed this also,...

Re: Brother MFC Printer not getting data

I downloaded the cups driver for the printer, and the scanner. Two separate files. I opened those files with the debi package installer and installed them that way. That is how it worked when I first installed mx 19 a few years ago. And if running the live thumb drive or DVD, it works as to installi...

Brother MFC Printer not getting data (Solved)

I had this running before and it was never an issue until today. I tried to install MX 21 and could not get the printer to work. I went back and reinstalled 19 and still cannot get the brother mfc 7440N to work. I tried the printer with a laptop and it works fine. Just not with this box. Could it be...

Re: Can't use my root password

Thank you all. I got the drivers and installed them using the debi installer but, I cannot connect to the cups server for some reason.

Re: Can't use my root password

According to the manual I should be able to set up the printer by going to the printer settings and select "Add Printer" However, it doesn't give me that option. When I go to printer settings it wants me to connect to the cups service and then gives me a error saying it could not connect t...

Re: Can't use my root password

Well, I am frustrated with mx. Gave up on 21. Could not get my brother printer to run (actually it would run but spit out page after page of blank paper). and that's after installing the drivers for the printer and the scanner portion. So, I reinstalled 19. After getting 690 some updates and again t...

Why in the world would they have you set up a root password then? Thank you, I'll try that in the morning. Just came down from the shop for the night.
Thanks again.
