OrangePi Zero headless server Debian Buster with Armbian Linux 4.19.62-sunxi armbianmonitor http://ix.io/26Dp Selected to install Sonarr in armbian-config which completes without error, but armbian-config does not indicate that Sonarr is now installed (i.e., I can still select it and do the whole thing again). Appears that armbian-config installs Sonarr as a service, but it doesn't appear to be running after I reboot (http://192.168.1.99:8989 gives error connection refused). Looks like Sonarr relies on mono, but mono has not been installed at /usr/bin/mono. Did I fail to do some required post-armbian-config steps?

I described my connection poorly; I'm actually not using the wifi on the OPi. It has an ethernet connection to my router, and the router connects to the printer over wifi. So as far as the OPi is concerned, it's an ethernet connection. Anyhoo! Yes, printing over USB works . I can't readily connect the OPi directly to the printer via ethernet, since OPi's ethernet is how it connects to the local network. But I did try connecting the printer to the router on ethernet (rather than wifi), and it works . And then when I took the printer off ethernet and back on wifi, leaving CUPS with the same configuration, it continues to work ! Only thing I can see that might be different is that, when connected on ethernet, I had CUPS use LPD instead of DNSSD. Don't remember if I had tried that previously. Even at that, I still had to manually edit /etc/cups/printers.conf to to put the printer's static IP in the device URI, in place of the "friendly" name that CUPS had selected. So this whole thing is probably 100% user error/inexperience. Thank you @Tido @usual user @martinayotte so much for your help and your patience with me!

Oh jeez; I am so far out of my depth here. I did not even know that Armbian has a firewall/rules enabled by default 🤦‍♂️. I should just put this CUPS issue aside until I have learned more about administering an armbian/debian system. Thanks for the time and help that you've given me.

Yep, just tried it on the OPi's usb connection, and it worked first time. I don't see anything on my router that would be blocking communication between CUPS and the printer over the wireless network (I do have upnp disabled, but I don't think that should matter). I haven't (knowingly!) done anything on the OPi that would block network communication. And, curiously, when I was attempting to configure over wifi, CUPS *was* able to detect the printer during setup. I'm at a loss. There aren't some other packages that I'm supposed to install to enable wireless CUPS printing, are there?

Thanks; I've done that, but the error log is miles long and I don't know what to look for or how to interpret it. I'm brand new to CUPS, and pretty beginner on linux in general; I can figure out some things when I find a decent how-to guide, but I haven't been able to find one that covers troubleshooting CUPS printer installation. My problem is quite likely user error, and not something armbian-specific; if anyone might suggest an appropriate forum site I'd be happy to ask for help there.

Not sure if this is considered an appropriate request for the Armbian forum, but I'll give it a try. New installation of Buster server 4.19.62-sunxi on OPiZero 512MB, with 32GB SanDisk A1 card. I installed CUPS (and Samba) via armbian-config, added myself to lpadmin; I can access the web interface. "Add printer" sees my Brother HL-2270DW on wifi, but no matter how I add the printer, I get one of a variety of errors when attempting to print a test page. CUPS finds and installs the printer at dnssd://Brother%20HL-2270DW%20series._ipp._tcp.local/ but when I print a test page, CUPS says it can't find the printer. So I change the URI to the printer's IP address on my LAN. CUPS now says printer is "Idle, Accepting Jobs, Not Shared". When I print a test page, CUPS says "processing since" and keeps saying it forever (until I cancel the job). Same thing happens if I install as IPP printer, same thing with hl1250 driver or generic pcl driver. Same thing with or without foomatic. I can't find any guides about how to troubleshoot CUPS if it doesn't just work, so I'm likely doing something wrong, though I also see comments online from people who get stuck at "processing since," saying that they had to downgrade something or other because of incompatible packages. Appreciate any tips, including if anyone knows about a CUPS troubleshooting forum out there. armbianmonitor -u http://ix.io/23JA
