Request: brother MFC3240C 5-in-1 printer driver

brother MFC3240c

http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/ … ivers.html
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/ … ivers.html

their website has rpm and deb binary files that both needs to be installed... but no arch or source!
I know rpmunpack can be used to unpack them into gz/cpio but what I'm really looking for is a arch tar.gz that can be uninstalled if needed. Could someone help with a PKGBUILD file or command to unpack the rpm AND cpio file to be used in cups/lpr.

thank,
Geoff

Re: Request: brother MFC3240C 5-in-1 printer driver

I realise this reply is a VERY long time after the initial post, but it's worthwhile if anyone else is looking for how to install the Brother printer drivers.

I have a Brother MFC215c printer, and I've managed to get it working using the drivers from the links in the above post. For my model it was suggested I use the 210c drivers as the ones for the 215c are still in development. So I downloaded cupswrapperMFC210C-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm and MFC210Clpr-1.0.2-1.i386.rpm, and then extracted them using rpmextract.sh

This creates a directory called "usr" in the current working directory. There'll be a cupswrapperMFC210C-1.0.0 script that creates the brmfc210c_cups.ppd driver file for CUPS, however it needs some tweaking --  change instances of "/usr/local/Brother" to "/opt/brother" (I installed the files in /opt/brother as opposed to /usr/local/Brother) and "/bin/csh" to "/usr/bin/tcsh" (which is where the tcsh package installs the tcsh binary) and "init.d" to "rc.d" (Arch uses /etc/rc.d not /etc/init.d for various service scripts):

$ sed -e 's/usr/local/Brother/opt/brother/g' -e 's/bin/csh/usr/bin/tcsh/g' -e 's/init.d/rc.d/g' cupswrapperMFC210C-1.0.0 > cupswrappernew

you can then chmod a+x the new cupswrappernew file and run it to create and install the CUPS wrapper/driver for the Brother printer. But, before this script will work correctly, you have to move the ./usr/local/Brother directory from your current working directory to /opt/brother and edit a couple of files in there, again changing instances of  "/usr/local/Brother" to "/opt/brother" and "printcap.local" to "printcap":

# mv ./usr/local/Brother /opt/brother
# grep -R local /opt/brother
/opt/brother/inf/setupPrintcapij:PRINTCAP_NAME=/etc/printcap.local
/opt/brother/inf/setupPrintcapij:       
:if=/usr/local/Brother/lpd/filter$BRPRINTER_NAME:
/opt/brother/lpd/filterMFC210C:BR_PRT_PATH=/usr/local/Brother/

I made the required changes using the nano text editor rather than with sed. After this I was able to run the cupswrappernew script to create and install the cups wrapper/driver. One extra thing I had to do to make the driver work properly was chmod a+rx the /opt/brother/inf and /opt/brother/lpd directories.

After doing all this you can access the CUPS server web page (http://localhost:631/admin) and then you should see the newly installed printer. My printer is hooked up to a Windows computer on my home network and so I had to modify its properties, and change it to be a Windows/Samba printer, and then specify its URI with something like smb://user:pass@server/printer (changing the user, pass, server and printer to their actual instances).

Anyhow if anyone else is having trouble with the drivers I hope this helped. I might consider making an Arch package if enough users reply asking for it smile

/opt/brother/filterMFC210C:BR_PRT_PATH=/usr/local/Brother

What Am I missing or screwing up? Hey Youdaman, you said you can make an Arch package for the drivers, please do.

Re: Request: brother MFC3240C 5-in-1 printer driver

I just wanted to thank Youdaman for his really useful instructions which enabled me to get my Brother DCP-310CN printer working in Arch.  I would never have got there without these hints!
I have also succeeded in making the scanner function work (all fine as root; xscan OK as user - still having trouble with Kooka as user).

Re: Request: brother MFC3240C 5-in-1 printer driver

I didn't actually follow Youdaman's solution to the letter.  I had already begun an installation in /usr/local/Brother so I stuck with that rather than changing to /opt/brother. 
After unpacking the rpm package, I manually copied all the subdirectories of the /usr directory it created to /usr.  I manually applied Youdaman's other tweaks and eventually ran the cupswrapper script (in my case cupswrapperDCP310CN-1.0.0) without errors.
As you appear to be having a problem with

/usr/local/Brother/lpd/filterMFC210C does not exist

I would suggest that you may have overlooked changing one of the /usr/local/Brother references over to /opt/brother; or why not try simply copying the missing file to the /usr/local/Brother location and see if that helps?

hey guys,
i must be stupid or something. I've tried both dauphin's and Youdaman's method and still keep getting
Error:

that tells me that at least the drivers were installed. what's missing?

Re: Request: brother MFC3240C 5-in-1 printer driver

Hi

Thanks a lot for this page! It helped me a lot.

After long hesitation I decided to go for Brother instead of HP because of the full fax and scanner support. I thought there would be no problem getting it to work in arch when it worked in debian...

My printer is MFC-7820N

These where my steps:
1. download .deb packages
2. mkdir and put each package in a separate clean dir
3. Using the unpack-feature recommended by brother (alien)
---
http://www.kitenet.net/programs/alien/
When converting the driver, use the "-t" and "-c" options. When you decompress the tgz file, a module file and an installation script will be created.
---
That program, alien, is perl-script that can be used without installation.
4. tar -xvvzf the-converted-package
5. edit the script files. These are different in the 5 different packages. I still have not understood how many of these packages one needs to install, it seems to be different for fax-function and printer function...

For cups-wrapper for printer these scripts need changeing:
---
/usr/local/Brother/cupswrapper/cupswrapperMFC7820N-1.0.1
(init.d -> rc.d)
(if moving /usr/local/Brother to /opt/brother this also needs changing here or otherwise you could make a symbolic link in usr/local/Brother > /opt/brother)
---
copy the directories into right place (ie /usr/local/Brother/.... or /opt/brother depending on what you like most. Ignore the ../install directory - not needed.
---
When done run the script cupswrapperMFC7820N-1.0.1 and then open web-interface to cups, add printer, when asked for the port:
6. LPD/LPR
next step:
7. LPD://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/binary_p1
(if connectiong through network with ip-adress as I do.
8. Choose brand Brother
9. Select the driver MFC7820N
10. check that printing is OK.
---
This is how long I have come so far.

The fax should be similar but I don't get it to work as I would like it to.

---
I list the files neede to change:
First, one has to install lpr-fax features before installing on cups:
/usr/local/Brother/inf/setupPrintcap
(change line
chown lp $SPOOLER_NAME
to
chown root $SPOOLER_NAME
since lp is only group in arch and not user.
---
run script:
/usr/local/Brother/inf/setupPrintcap brfax -i xxxx
where xxxx is the device. For USB it should be enough writing USB, for network I don't know exactly what to write here...
in the file /etc/printcap the fax is added. Here I don't know what device should be used for network printing...
But then you have to start cups-wrapper too. That should be done by adding the printer through cups web-interface.
---
For scanner I followed these steps:
1. copy the files
2. run script
/usr/local/Brother/sane/setupSaneScan2
3. reboot
4. run this startup for network scanning:
brsaneconfig2 -a name=Scanner model=MFC-7820N ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
That command I also add to rc.local
5. start xsane and the scanner is found OK!
---

This is how far I have got:
- printer works ok.
- fax doesn't work
- scanner works ok.

I hope it is some help for someone, and that someone can get me a hint on network pcfax option.

Re: Request: brother MFC3240C 5-in-1 printer driver

I got the printer working way back now. Just used the rpms, extracted them and copied the filed to the right places from what I remembered. I had to run the neccessary scripts and do the printcap think mentioned above and that was it.
For scanning, it doesn't work either so I would use Windows or Mandriva for that.
I hope we get the scanner work on Arch as to my personal opinion, Arch is the best and fastest, and most stabled distro.

Re: Request: brother MFC3240C 5-in-1 printer driver

Well, scanner works fine in Arch now, using sane and xsane.

One only has to run the initiation-script each boot.

Re: Request: brother MFC3240C 5-in-1 printer driver

Installation of fax-drivers:
(This one seems to be similar for all printers...)
1. copy files
2. edit file /usr/local/Brother/inf/setupPrintcap
- change 'chown lp' into 'chown root'
3. install printer in lp by:
./setupPrintcap BRFAX -i USB
4. install in cups by:
lpadmin -p BRFAX -E -v usb:/dev/usb/lp0 -m brfax_cups.ppd
5. restart cups
6. modify printer in cups if not using usb connection.

Now there are two options for printing with this. Either you have to print from console by giving a .ps file and the faxnumer, or you have to change the applications setting in order to make it use the java module brpcfax. It sounds like it is hard to get openoffice to handle that by itself.

Re: Request: brother MFC3240C 5-in-1 printer driver

You need to give ip-adress too.

brsaneconfig2 -a name=Scanner model=MFC-210C ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is changed to tha ip-adress for the MFC. In my case 192.168.0.32

Try that!

Re: Request: brother MFC3240C 5-in-1 printer driver

No, probably not. Then you need to give the local port. I don't know which since I only have it connected through net...

I write today because the latest update of foomatic-filters, foomatic-db and foomatic-db-engines means you don't have to struggle with this. Just start cups, select Brother and choose the printer and it works out-of-the-box.

The only thing needed to do is to start scanner just as I said before.

Re: Request: brother MFC3240C 5-in-1 printer driver

Well, I tink I get mad!

I had printer and scanner function working all right. Then I made an upgrade and it stoped working...

Now the good news: You don't need any special printer driver from Brother - it is included in the package: foomatic-filters. Just install from cups as any printer. Works terrific!

But the scanner...

I have 3 computers, all updated at the same time. On 2 of them the scanner works without problem. On the laptop I get _segment fault_ when I start xsane after I have run the script 'setupSaneScan2 -i'

I dont know why. I can't find any reason for this. Brother talks about an old libusb that could cause the problem but in arch I have the latest one...

No idea what it can be!

Re: Request: brother MFC3240C 5-in-1 printer driver

new cups or kernel, no more MFC-210C.
tried all the stops as mentioned above, printer installs but I get this message: Brother_MFC-210C_USB_1 "Printer not connected; will retry in 30.
Funny because the scanner works.

Tried test page and it just hangs.

p:

getting this error now:
A print error occurred. Error message received from system:

I get this was error using http://localhost:631/printers/mfc210c:

     
mfc210c "Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds..."

yet I can scan on the same unit so the printer is connected. (3-in-one) printer.


Tried reinstalling printer but nothing.

I can su to root but can't login into root from kdm.

Re: Request: brother MFC3240C 5-in-1 printer driver

Same problem over here with a DCP-7010 model. I also can't print any longer using cups. However I can print sending a file to /dev/lp0 and it works. So I guess it has to do with the drivers offered by Brother and their lack of compatibility with cups. I already wrote an email to them last week but got no response yet. I also tried the current driver and the old one, but it didn't make a difference. The scanner does work using the brscan2-network package from AUR. I'll keep posting what the guys from Brother suggest as soon as I receive any answer.

Meanwhile, does anyone already know a solution to this?

Thanks!

Re: Request: brother MFC3240C 5-in-1 printer driver

reinstalled everything for cups and mfc210c. this time I followed Youdaman's instructions at the very start of the topic.
I get this error now: /usr/lib/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperMFC210C failed.

Thinking about this, the issue started after lipcups was added.

Nothing works here either. I was a fool for buying an MFC-3240C on sale without researching first :[

Re: Request: brother MFC3240C 5-in-1 printer driver

Dude,

it was working perfectly until the upgrades of cups, libcups and something else.
I don't think Brother will be launching drivers until they figure out Vista and still that will only help windows.

It maybe lights out for Brother's MFC products and ArchLinux.
It still runs on my PCLinuxOS box but PC(Mandrake) is too slow a system for me. ArchLinux rocks so printer goes.

Re: Request: brother MFC3240C 5-in-1 printer driver

With the latest cups version it seems that the Brother driver doesn't work anymore. Same thing here with a MFC-DPC210 USBCombo Printer/Scanner. Downgrade cups and set it to ignorpkg in /etc/pacman.conf
After that it works again...
