[SOLVED] Printer Brother MFC-J6520 not working

My printer isn't on OpenPrinting, so i can't check does it work under linux and what driver to use. I tried driverless but doesnt work. There is also nothing about that model in CUPS Printer specific problems on Arch Wiki. I also couldn't find any driver for the printer on AUR.

Re: [SOLVED] Printer Brother MFC-J6520 not working

Hello and welcome in the forum.

Do you mean MFC-J625DW or MFC-J6520DW? I cannot find anything about MFC-J6250 online except for some italian and brasilian sites offering ink cartrigdes and listing it as compatible.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brother-mfc-j6520dw ?
And since it depends on ghostscript, there's also a silent dependency on https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/which/

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Setting ip up, how?
That's an mdns tld, do you run avahi?

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855
Describe what you actually did, nmap the domain you're trying to use and in doubt enable cups debugging and post a log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CUPS/Troubleshooting
