Brother Drivers

Description

The drivers are available from Brother - as either RPM or DEB.
While RPM Solus trickery can allow an install of sorts - no print no facs.
Result as complaints of no cupswrapper and permissions difficulties with Cups itself. Additionally, Scanner detection does not happen correctly.
All-in-all, a fail.
Specifically, the driver(s) being requested are for Brother MFC-L2703DW, and Brother describes these as MFC-L2700 series.
This printer is mass-market in Australia, sold through the largest office supply chain, so they're not at all rare.
The drivers appear to be generic monochrome MFC Laser printers in the brother range.
Brother website specifies differing procedures pre-install, depending on the relevant Linux install. Solus is 'different'.

Not going to test anything, unfortunatelly. If the file for dcp-2512d brother file wasn't updated in the last past weeks I can say it doesn't work !
I managed to install the driver via rpm provided by Brother https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx?c=eu_ot&lang=en&prod=dcpl2512d_eu

The link to the MFC-J6720DW leads to the MFC-J5320DW file.

Thanks

@riffer is fixed

Hi! I've checked for printer MFC-J4420DW https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aHLEZR9ojZ9sRQiljacxqysql3oQUM6J/view

I've installed and when I send to print, my printer doesn't work only show a message that it has printed, but it doesn't.
I don't know if I did something wrong. First I downloaded and then put in the terminal 'sudo eopkg install <file>', finally I add my printer in Configuration and it was detected automatically, but my printer didn't work.
Thank you!

@JDark can you test this, it seems they changed the install path in this version https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WT6u9VTH9rs3e86DTyr0BvPvhWtofN3-

After some quick tests of different paper sizes, trays, etc., HL-L5100DN seems to work without any real issue. Thanks for getting this added.

Hi, it doesn't work, I tried many times, thanks a lot!

@mjc7806 thx for testing

@JDark https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QPoYNd0fkFI-TQ0Zn-RLo6O3m4vQY4FR if this doesn't work I dunno anymore what brother did with this driver

MFC-J6720DW works as a network printer, but I had no success setting this up directly connected via USB. To be honest I've never set up this printer using USB on any distro or Windows, so I'll leave it up to someone else to more exhaustively test this.

Output was on par with that I get with elementary OS/Windows 10 on my desktop/daily driver. Attributable to including the 32 bit dependencies.

As an aside, I haven't run Solus for many months; the printer was the stumbling point. I now have it on a ridiculously slow HP2000 and Solus is so fast it makes it usable. I was also able to set up PIA on OpenVPN as well as NoMachine, so I am pretty well set. I'll be experimenting more on this to see if I can move it onto my primary laptop.

Thank you

I can confirm that the HL-L2300D driver works with duplexing and even the toner saver mode.

Hello

could you please add drivers for Brother DCP-J1100DW both printing and scanning. It is a network printer rather than direct connect via usb.

@MickaelT your driver version needs patching to set it up for Solus packaging which makes it by far more complicated

What you can try is installing manually the drivers but cannot guarantee it will be working

extract both folder structures of the lpr and cupswrapper into the folders /opt, than you need to run the bash file cuprswrapperdccpj515w via sudo bash cupswrapperdcpj515w it should set up all the symlinks you need

@Girtablulu Indeed, it's complicated and it doesn't work or I don't do things well.
Normally, Brother also has a script which indicates the model of its printer, the IP address, etc ... and installs everything you need!

than do it manually as I explained above, dont have any time atvthe moment to.do any packaging

@Girtablulu that's what i try to do!!!

Could add a package for the driver of printer Brother DCP-7065DN, please?
I'm happy to do some testing.

Here the link to the official DEB and RPM:
https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx?c=eu_ot&lang=en&prod=dcp7065dn_all

Thank you!

EDIT: No more packaging necessary. I managed to do it myself for the generic driver supporting a few dozen Brother printers. Seems to work with mine. I'll add a link to as soon as I can.

Can you add support for DCP-J315W?

Package config for Brother's generic printer driver BrGenML1:
https://github.com/el-christianito/brother-brgenml1

I was able to successfully build a package, install it on Solus, and print on DCP-7065DN.

According to Brother's website, the driver is compatible to the following models:

This surely needs some further testing first. But adding this to the official repositories one day would be a nice improvement to Brother printer support on Solus IMO.

Hello, again, I hadn't had time, but Thanks a lot!!!! I have tested it and It works very weell, so I had to do that you said to @MickaelT in a last post "//extract both folder structures of the lpr and cupswrapper into the folders /opt, than you need to run the bash file cuprswrapperdccpj515w via sudo bash cupswrapperdcpj515w it should set up all the symlinks you need"//

I copied the folders in /opt and then I put the command, and it works!!!!

Thank you!!! I'm so happy =)

I tried several times too and apparently it doesn't feel like working!

Can't wait to finally test the patch for my DCP-J515W printer, because it's starting to get hard not being able to print my documents!

i would like to request the driver for BROTHER DCP-T310 .
here is the link /run/media/live/Storage/Acronis Backup/POP OS/Apps/Compressed/linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.1-1.gz

thank you..

DataDrake and I had a look how to deal with these bash scripts and figured something out, but we do not know if its working. I updated the eopkg which can be build now in this newer way, lets hope it works because it makes it simpler to generate these packages

Hello,
Thank you for the DCP-J515W printer drivers.
What is the method for installing the printer?
Because I downloaded and installed the drivers for my printer and to scan it from the links, but it doesn't work!

I install the drivers by the terminal.
I go to "Add a printer".
I will look for the drivers for the Brother / Brother DCP-J515W CUPS in the list.
I launch a test page, it tells me that the printer is ready, but the task goes to "Stopped" status.

So it doesn't work!

I tested the linked package for the DCP-L2540DW model. I am able to print over the network. If I can find a USB cable long enough, I'll test via USB as well. This is awesome, thanks!

EDIT: Whoops, my mistake. I can scan over the network as well. I guess you shouldn't add leading zeros in IP addresses.

I installed the brscan4 package and used my printer's tiny lcd display to get the IP address. I ran the config command:

brsaneconfig4 -a name=BROSCAN model=DCP-L254DW ip=<ip from printer's display, without leading zeros when applicable>

To test, I installed skanlite from the software center, which installed the sane-backends package as a dependency.

Girtablulu updated the task description. (Show Details)May 19 2020, 6:42 PM

I tested the linked package for DCP7065DN trying to print over network. Unfortunately, I was not able to print, not even the test page.
My network printer was found and I was successfully able to set up (using KDE printer application). But the print job in the queue always ended up in status "Stopped" with a "filter error".

Thanks, but it still doesn't work.

@MickaelT your needed driver is a bit weird, seems to be again a special driver case....

Relating to distributions like Linux Mint, the Demonipuch script found on Google or the script on the Brother site, work well.
Even on Arch Linux, I made my package myself, it was very simple and it works well.
I tested the Manjaro Budgie distribution to test my package which is still present in AUR and it still works.
So I don't understand.
My drivers shouldn't be more special than others :)

If it helps, I did this for Arch (study the code):
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brother-dcp-j515w/

Otherwise, you should probably study the Brother script to adapt it to Solus and EOPKG

@MickaelT

English please.
Don't be so condescending. We are all just volunteers working together on this stuff.
It's virtually impossible for us to get 100% of the printer drivers working on the first try since most of us don't have the hardware to test. @Girtablulu was kind enough to provide you with a first pass at a driver that he can't test himself. So please be respectful of him and his time.
If you think you it's so simple, you are welcome to submit a patch for a working driver. Otherwise, you are just being rude.

I hadn't paid attention and I corrected the error.
I don't think I was condescending. If you took it that way, I am sorry because I am well aware of the work you are doing.
I suspect that you do not have all the hardware, and that is why I am testing the drivers with my printer and I hope that it will be useful for other people in the future. Do not misinterpret things and take my words wrong.
No comments to add, I have already apologized!

@MickaelT can you please edit the file in /usr/lib64/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperdcp515w and change the Value for "DEBUG=0" to "DEBUG=1" and retry to print it should create a cupsfilter_debug_log inside /tmp, maybe I get some information with it to figure out what's causing it because theoretical it should work

@Girtablulu
Sorry, but when I try to print, I don't have a file cupsfilter_debug_log inside /tmp

EDIT :

On the other hand, after having modified the line

if [ $DEBUG != 1 ]; then

in the file indicated, I have a new file in / tmp called "005b95ecd8a28".

I tried again but still no success, I'm afraid. I'm still getting a "filter error" in print queue using Brother DCP-7065DN over network.

I tried switching on DEBUG but it didn't create any log file in /tmp.

Is there a reason, you prefer packaging v2.1.0 instead of Generic Printer Driver v3.1.0? I don't know the difference. But since both are supported by Brother, I guess another option (if everything fails) would be trying out that one.

I would like to request drivers for the Brother DCP-L2550DW, printer and scanner. .Deb and .RPM packages available on website

.Deb package for Scan-key-tool 64bit did NOT work on ubuntu 18.04, at least for me it didn't. Other DEB pkgs work fine.

Never tried the RPM packages.

Fairly popular printer. Currently is the "Amazon Choice" for "brother all in one printer"

hi, I need the drivers for Brother MFC-J491DW. I see it mentioned in the list above but it has no download link beside it. do I await the link beside it or do I install this printer's drivers some other way? thank you in advance for your help! solus is great!

Hi, is possible to add the Brother MFC-845CW printer+scanner? Many thanks!

aga removed a subscriber: aga.Aug 15 2020, 7:20 PM

Howdy, folks. I'm new to Solus and experienced with Linux, and am loving Solus so far. I have gotten the Brother MFC-665CW working on Solus over the network by copying config files I had on an opensuse machine - felt pretty clever after reading through all the scripts and understanding where the files had to go. However, while this did work on one Solus machine, I then tried it on another to no avail, though everything else I can find seems the same. I would be thrilled to get some help figuring this out, and I would also be thrilled if the drivers available at Brother's site - https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=mfc665cw_us_as - could be ported to Solus.

Thank you all for the fine work you've done in setting up this operating system - it's pretty slick.

Best,
Henry Wilson

Okay, I actually figured it out for myself. I needed to install the "cups-32bit" package because my printer is like 15yr old. Aside from that, my config copying strategy was sound. I will attach a tarball of the config files with a list of where they belong. I would love to share the files with you but some are copyright Brother 2006. The summary is to copy the PPD from the working system, copy the filter file, chmod +x the filter file, install "cups-32bit" and "psutils", and copy the "Brother" director that the working filter file refers to.

Best,
Henry Wilson

Hello! I'd like to request the printer driver for the Brother printer/scanner: HL-L2395DW.

Thank you!

I can only second that as I need the same driver and am very happy with Solus for quite some years. :)

If possible I would like two printers to be added to the Solus repos, HL-2270DW & HL-3170CDW.

I already made packages for the printers listed above, feel free to use my package.yml if its of good quality...

@mowglie, @ole108, @bhibb, @boggle247;
I quickly put together some eopkg packages for the printers you where requesting.
While I'm fairly sure that they will work based on my experience and similar drivers repos, I cannot guarantee that since I don't have the hardware to test on...
Let me know if they work for you...

@bhibb, @boggle247;
Looking I looked at the available drivers for your printers and they both use the brscan4 driver and it can be found in the in the Solus repositories.
Have you tried installing the brscan4 package?

If you want to build the drivers yourself, all the package.yml files can be found at my GitHub Gist

Hello

I'm requesting support for Brother HL-2140 monochrome laser printer. It is a USB wired printer.
This is the product page URL : https://support.brother.com/g/b/faqtop.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=hl2140_all

Thanks

Hello,

Dacian here, can i request a ppd file for the Brother DCP-8070D?

I have already requested drivers for DCP-J125 but it was marked as duplicate of this post. Is it possible to create such drivers package for my printer?

I see that brscan3 is already packaged so, thanks for that.

I did another round of building outstanding driver requests.
As always; I cannot guarantee that they work since I don't have the hardware to test on...
Let me know if you are having any issues...

Thank you @QORTEC ! I will test DCP-j125 later today and give you feedback.

Driver for printer DCP-J125 is working perfectly. Unfortunately, brscan3 doesn't work as expected. Scanner is not recognisable by system. Any thoughts?

@DooshPastesh, to my knowledge brscan3 should automatically recognize a compatible USB scanner and work without any configuration needed.

After looking at at Brothers FAQs for common issues and solutions:

The brscan3 package is well made and has all needed dependencies and properly configured (also your printer is listed in the udev.rules file).
Which leaves a possible privilege issue; Brother provides a second package to "connect via USB without administrator privileges" (said package is basically a udev.rules file).

To test if it's a permissions/privilege you can try running as root and seeing if your scanner works.
Otherwise I can't think of any other possible issues/solutions.

Unfortunately, running as root gives nothing. But...
After installing brscan4 it just showed up and works as it should!
That's strange, but this workaround is ok for me.

Hello,

tested the driver for the MFC-J430W. Install is okay, but did not work with error "Filter failed".
Also the package description is not correct, it says "Printer driver for Brother MFC-9125CN".

It would be fine, if you can fix the filter error.

Hi there,
I own an old Brother HL-2240D printer (laser, monochrome, able to print in duplex, usb connection only).
The support webpage for downloading the driver is here.
Could you please include this driver to Solus ?

I am little confused... till now the Solus's system printer settings automatically used the driver for printer HL-2250DN, which sometimes worked with just delays but sometimes not at all, like now ... with no obvious cause (to me at lease).

thanks in advance

Hello! Installed the driver on 7057R, everything works, prints without problems. Thanks!!!

serebit mentioned this in T9438: Brother Printer Support.Dec 15 2020, 5:16 PM

Good day,

There is a very common printer on the market here in Australia called the Brother MFC-7362N printer.

I was hoping I could get some support to help install/configure this one..

Hi again
Just found .ppd files for this printer which I used to use in my previous Solus intallation ... but cannot recall where did I found those files !!
I loaded the first one Brother-HL-2240D-hl1250.ppd and my printer works fine !!

I am just uploading here in case it helps anyone on adding HL-2240D support to Solus

I am brand new to Solus. I have two printers that need to be added. The first is the Brother MFC-7860DW. The second is at work and I do not have the information here, so I will post that one later. If I am doing this wrong, please let me know. Thank you!
