Trying to print from Firefox and get the error "printer not found".
I've looked at all the cups settings and need assistance at this point. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I can't get the tool to work, but I did find this out:

"The computer was looking for it on usb:/dev/usb/lp0 but the
printer was actually to be found on usb://Brother/HL-2270DW%20series"

I don't know how to change that. Been working at it via Cups. No luck so far. I'll keep at it.

I turned the printer off and stopped the computer. Turned printer back on and rebooted.
Went to System Settings > Printer
Added correct printer and deleted other entry.
Test page printed fine.
