[Solved] Printer works with USB, but not WiFi
I have a Brother MFC-9130CW printer. I installed the drivers from the AUR package brother-mfc-9130cw, connected the printer via USB, and added the printer via the cups web interface. It prints fine.
When I disconnect the USB cable and add the printer using the cups web interface, it is automatically detected over WiFi as lpd://BRW90324B15F33F/BINARY_P1. When I try printing, cups errors with, "The printer is unreachable at this time." The printer doesn't respond at all.
Switching back to USB works fine.
Any ideas?

Cups logs ?
Is /etc/cups/cupsd.conf set to allow different IP route ?

I replaced the hostname of the printer with its IP address, and it works now.

You might record it into /etc/hosts.
