I have a Brother network printer/scanner (model MFC-J485DW) that I am trying to communicate with using CUPS. I had it properly configured over a year ago but through disuse and pacman updates somehow I've gotten into a spot where I cannot actually print from it anymore.
I reinstalled the following:
cups-2.2.6-1
sane 1.0.27-1
The proprietary driver brother-mfc-j485dw 1.0.0-0 (AUR)
And the scanner driver brscan4 0.4.4_4-1 (AUR)
I applied a static ip, 192.168.0.145, to the printer and router and checked I could reach the printer web interface. I was able to reach it at 192.168.0.145:631. I was able to do GETs but every POST seemed to fail but there was not enough information to tell why.
Sane is able to reach the scanner and send/receive so it's not a matter of the network not recognizing the printer.
I can also ping the printer ip fine.
Next, I configured the printer through cups web interface. It found the PPD file installed through the driver package and I set the connection to lpd://192.168.0.145/binary_p1 as recommended on Brother's website for the model.
Unfortunately this is where I'm having trouble. Every print command sent immediately completes and nothing prints. No error is posted to the error logs.
Does anyone have any hints or insight in what to try next?
