Hello everyone
I have a Compaq pc and the o/s is Linux Ubuntu 14 driving a Brother 121W laser printer.
Took some time to get it to print the size I wanted but otherwise perfect. Until............
yesterday I scanned some text which are filed as j-pegs and are stored on a 23G flash drive - as are many others.
When asked to print these latest scans the printer churns through all the paper on the tray and then keeps asking for more. No sheets have an image printed but are passed through blank. The printer will not shut off but has to be unplugged. It prints all the other files (some j-pegs) on the drive including photos and music, and, apart from that one oddity is perfect.
Please can someone help, please?
I have used Brother and Linux for many years and do not wish to change manufacturers.
