So I'm having trouble getting my printer to work, I installed CUPS and it seems to be working correctly. I downloaded and installed the drivers for the printer from the Brother website from here: http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=mfcj430w_all
However, when I run the installer or try to print something using lpr -P MFCJ430W /usr/share/cups/data/testprint I get this error:
lpr: connect: No such file or directory
Is lpd daemon running?
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.
When I run sudo service lpd status it shows active with the following errors
Mar 05 05:19:26 Nathan-Raspberry-Pi-1 lpd[1477]: MFCJ430W: filter 'f'
exited (retcode=255 prog=/opt/brother/Printers/mfcj430w/lpd/filtermfcj430w)
Mar 05 05:19:26 Nathan-Raspberry-Pi-1 lpd[1477]: mail sent to user user about job testprint on printer MFCJ430W (FILTERERR)
If I try to print something using lp -d MFCJ430W ~/testFile.txt
I get request id is MFCJ430W-42 (1 file(s)) but nothing prints. Also, nothing prints from the CUPS webpage.
My printer is connected via USB and I'm running Raspbian Jessie. Has anyone had this before or fixed it? Note: i'm not running on the default user pi, but I have sudo privileges. Thanks, any help would be appreciated!
EDIT: This is how I run the installer and what it returns up to the the point of the error:
