[SOLVED] Configure printer Brother HL-1110R

Hello! I can't configure this printer.

By default in cups there are no drivers for hl-1110R(and for HL-1118 too, it has the same drivers).

I found only tutorials about other models of brother printer(https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Brother_HL-2030).
I tried to install foomatic-filters and search drivers on openprinting.org. And did not found any drivers.
Then I tried to install rpm package for this printer and run cupswrapper script. It didn't work.
And then I tried to select *.ppd file from rpm package in cups "Add printer" menu. It didn't work too.

I don't know what to do next. Anyone had same problems?

Did you check out http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bs … index.html ?

At least Brother supports Linux

If you cannot find a suitable driver try a Generic PCL6 or Postscript driver

Yes. I downloaded drivers from the official site, unpacked rpm and tried to manually install drivers the same way as http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bs … prn1a.html.
But when I tried to print something, it printed nothing and the printing status was "stopped"

PCL6 is not supported by my printer.
Today I'll try Postscript driver.

I could not see what was supported, but I have a similar Samsung printer, and I use the Generic PCL6 driver. Other Brother printers seem to support PCL5 at least

Best of luck

Hello,

I made a packagebuild for this printer.
I cannot test this myself because I don't own one.
Can you test this for me please.
You can find the package overhere : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brother-hl1118

Let me know if there are any problems.

Hello, thank you for help.

I installed your package, printer driver succsessfully appeared in cups menu, but when I tried to print test page, its status was "processing since Tue Feb 25 19:19:52 2014 Sending data to printer.", then "completed at Tue Feb 25 19:19:53 2014", but it didn't print anything.

Re: [SOLVED] Configure printer Brother HL-1110R

Can you check the log-files from cups for error messages?
You can access these log-files from the cups interface http://localhost:631
choose button "administration"

Actually, it worked. I deleted printer, installed it again and now it prints.
Thank you for help!

Re: [SOLVED] Configure printer Brother HL-1110R

Hello, could you please help me with instalation of Brother 1110e? Sorry, I am beginner in Linux, I have Kubuntu 14.04. I took your files, transformed them into .deb files via alien, run and ... nothing. What should be changed or visible to run this printer? Thank you.

• This is a repackaging for Arch Linux. The original package is RPM. Use alien on that.

• These are the Arch Linux forums. We can't help with Kubuntu as it's a different OS. You should seek help through their support system. (They have their own forums.) Forum Etiquette: Arch Linux Distribution Support ONLY

Good luck.
