Hi,

I am tryping to setup a "Brother HL-1440" printer on my laptop which runs
FreeBSD-4.9 . I installed CUPS-1.1.19.0 and everything was fine. I got the
ppd driver file from www.linuxprinting.org . The printer is connected
though USB and it is being recognized on /dev/ulpt0 when I connect it to
the computer. (/var/log/message).
First I tried to do it with the CUPS "localhost:631" page. But when I want
to add the printer it gives me the famous error "The request is too large
for this server to process." which many other people have reported it and
nobody has suggested a working solution for it.
When I try the command line:
#lpadmin -p laser -E -v usb:/dev/ulpt0 -m Brother.ppd
it says: "lpadmin: add-printer (set model) failed:
server-error-internal-error"

and if I use the kaddprinterwizard from /usr/local/bin when I want to print
a test page it gives me an IPP error.

and also all kinds of different errors like server-error-internal-error.
or server-error-service-unavailable.

HELP!
thanks
