Network Printer is not Responding

Hi, I'm trying to setup my Brother_HL-1210W network printer at my local network. I success setting this up in Ubuntu and Debian but in Arch I faced some problem

After Install Aur Brother HL-1210W and CUPS I'm trying to add my printer from lpd://BRWC0389612396A/BINARY_P1

I got this message and can't print "The printer is not responding". Trying to find the way out in arch wiki All jobs are "The printer is not responding" But i dont understand what it is and what do I need to do with " the hostname 'BRN_020554' needs to resolve to the printer's IP from the server running CUPS"

Thank you.

Re: Network Printer is not Responding

It means it can't find the "BRWC0389612396A" hostname.
Either add the hostname and it's IP address to /etc/hosts or use the IP address directly in lpd://x.x.x.x/BINARY_P1
