[SOLVED] Install printer headache

Hello,

I am stuck installing my new printer Brother MFC-T810W.

I have installed cups of course, libcups, gsfonts. I have also activated the cups service # systemctl start cups.service and # systemctl enable cups.service.
I use the plasma desktop and in the printer chapter I clicked on the option "click here to add a new printer" and I see the name of my printer appearing. BROTHER MFC-810W but on the following view brother does not appear in the list.
I go to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Packag … er_drivers and I see that it will take 3 packages, one is the Driver Install Tool and the others are for the LPR driver and for the cupswrapper.
I searched in the net from the brother site download section: I select my printer, the os family (linux), the language (English) and there are only 2 files to download: Driver Install Tool and Linux Printer Driver (deb package). There is no cupswrapper. What should I do?

Any help would be welcome and would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Re: [SOLVED] Install printer headache

Hi,

Because it is difficult for me to see impossible to have a driver that works for my printer under Arch, it would seem (I mean it would seem...) that there is another possibility. It would be called "driverless IPP".

This is how I do it:
Enable local DNS resolution: sudo nano /etc/nsswitch.conf and change the hosts line to include mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND = return] before resolve       (==>https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/avahi) 

❯ sudo nano /etc/nsswitch.conf
[sudo] Mot de passe de armand : 

# Name Service Switch configuration file.
# See nsswitch.conf(5) for details.

passwd: files systemd
group: files [SUCCESS=merge] systemd
shadow: files

publickey: files

hosts: files mymachines myhostname mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns
networks: files

protocols: files
services: files
ethers: files
rpc: files

Restart services:

❯ sudo systemctl restart avahi-daemon NetworkManager cups.service

On adding printer it found my printer and showed two entries under Networkprinters.
And one is showing IPP address format.
     Brother MFC-T810W (Brother%20MFC-T810W_ipp_tcp.local)
Device URI on the right shows also IPP.
     ipp://Brother%20MFC-T810W_ipp_tcp.local/
and Connection show:
     Driverless IPP
That is what I chose.

On the next dialog box I indicate the printer name, description and location and I press “apply”.

But unfortunally the response was: CUPS server error.

I searched in the logs and found the following:

Re: [SOLVED] Install printer headache

Because it is difficult for me to see impossible to have a driver that works for my printer under Arch

Why? Does the brother driver I linked in #2 not work or because "it's too hard to change a URL and shasum in a PKGBUILD"?

Change the url in PGKBUILD I think I can do.
Change shasum in PGKBUILD I think I can do.

My printer is MFC-T810W and not MFC-T910W. In the PGKBUILD everything refers to 910.
Moreover the maintainer of the package seems to say in comments that there is a problem which seems to be confirmed by 2 other people.

Out of curiosity I installed fedora on a old laptop and I installed the mfc-t810w (rpm) driver by defining an IP address.
I tried to  print a simple document and Bingo it works the first time!

You extracted the contents of rpm without using pacman?

Your PKGBUILD for brother-mfct810w is installing files to / opt / brother / Printers / mfct910dw / which conflict with the package brother-mfct910dw.
Is / opt / brother / Printers / mfct910dw / a transcription error or are both packages actually creating paths with spaces in them?
Why is brother-mfct910dw installed?
Pacman#%22Failed_to_commit_transaction_(conflicting_files)%22_error

Not sure how the PKGBUILD you posted could have produced a package with all those files from mfct910dw.

Re: [SOLVED] Install printer headache

With brother-mfct810w 1.0.0-0 installed does cups find the new driver?  If it does,  with the new driver installed does printing work?

Re: [SOLVED] Install printer headache

No. Cups can't seem to find the new driver.

Too difficult for me to install this printer on Arch.  I will have to install fedora in dual-boot on my main desktop to be able to print. But it's pity ...

Re: [SOLVED] Install printer headache

Hi,

After many attempts I finally managed to install my Brother MFC-T810W printer on Arch. And that without having to use that damn driver that I didn't have. tongue  tongue

Wifi / network printers should not need any drivers to be installed on clientside.
My previous attempt to make an driverless printing had failed but I thought something was missing. After consulting various documentations (Arch and Debian wiki), I  installed the following packages on my system: cups cups-pdf cups-filters avahi nss-mdns ipp-usb usbutils ghostscript gsfonts. And sane xsane for the scanner.

I do enable DNS local resolution in / etc / nsswitch, conf (post #3).
I have enable/start the following services: cups.service, cups-browsed.service, avahi-daemon.service and NetworkManager,

And now I have a working wireless connection and a working USB connection. wink  smile  big_smile 

❯ nano /var/log/cups/access_log

localhost - - [30/Nov/2021:17:53:40 +0000] "POST /printers/Brother_MFC_T810W HTTP/1.1" 200 229 Create-Job successful-ok
localhost - - [30/Nov/2021:17:53:40 +0000] "POST /printers/Brother_MFC_T810W HTTP/1.1" 200 24728 Send-Document successful-ok
localhost - root [30/Nov/2021:17:53:41 +0000] "POST /admin/ HTTP/1.1" 200 269 CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer successful-ok

If this can help someone with the same type of problem as me, so much the better ...

De rien! Glad to help when I can.

Just a remark about what I wrote: I think it's best not to install cups-browsed.service.
