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 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.
