FAQs & Troubleshooting

PostScript data cannot be printed or is printed in the text format. (Linux®)

To solve this problem:

  1. Either disable or reconfigure SELinux by referring to the FAQ "Disable or reconfigure SELinux.(Linux®)".
  2. Update your distribution, and then try to print again.

If the problem is still not solved, do the following:

  1. Run the following commands in the terminal to find the file named "filter(printer name)".
      ls /usr/local/Brother/lpd/filter*
     ls /usr/local/Brother/Printer/*/lpd/filter*
     ls /opt/brother/Printers/*/lpd/filter*

     
    There is one "filter(printer name)" file per driver.
    The directory where the file is stored depends on the printer.
    Whether "(printer name)" is upper-case or lower-case also depends on the printer. 
     
  2. Back up the files you found, and then open them using a text editor.
     
  3. Search for the lines beginning with "FILE_TYPE=`file $INPUT...", and replace them with the following:
     "FILE_TYPE=PostScript"
     Enter all the characters exactly as above, including the upper-case and lower-case characters.
