    I'm also using the DCP-130C but cannot get it to work. I added the printer with linux config menu with the following details:

    Location: localhost
    Device URI: usb://Brother/DCP-130C
    Make and Model: Brother DCP-1200 Foomatic/hl1250 (recommended)
    printer status: idle

    I've tried to print test page and several other pages but it doesn't print although it shows it's recieving data on the printer itself?? Can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance for your help...

    Can I join in please?

    I am also having problems printing to a networked printer using CUPS. I can't update cups.

    [user@localhost ~]$ sudo yum -y upgrade cups


    Gives these errors after a whole lot of information:-

    ---> Package udev.i386 0:135-3.fc11 set to be updated

    --> Processing Conflict: notification-daemon-xfce conflicts notify-daemon

    --> Finished Dependency Resolution

    Error: Missing Dependency: libgnutls.so.13(GNUTLS_1_3) is needed by package libpurple

    Error: Missing Dependency: libgnutls.so.13 is needed by package acerim

    Error: Missing Dependency: libpython2.5.so.1.0 is needed by package pcmlinux


    I need to enable JetDirect functionality in CUPS so that I can direct my AA1 to the sockets my printers are using on my network. I gather that I can only get this if I update CUPS, but these dependency and conflict problems are preventing me from doing so.

    Please help.
