Laser printer Brother HL-L2300D

I have this printer, but i cannot install this in CUPS beause cups is not able to find it (its not displayed on setup page ). I installed some drivers from AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brother-hll2300d/), but it still doesnt work.

Consider editing your first post with any new information instead of creating multiple new posts

Have you seen https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CU … _with_SANE?

Re: Laser printer Brother HL-L2300D

If you have the SANE package installed it could cause the issue, regardless of whether you are actually running the SANE daemon.

What is the output of

$ ls -l /dev/bus/usb/*/*

? There should be a device with the lp group listed - if not, the Udev rule mentioned in the article linked before should be enough to fix that. CUPS helpers are run with a group lp by default which lets them access USB printers, but if the printer does not have the correct permissions it may not be visible.
