brlaser: Brother laser printer driver ===================================== brlaser is a CUPS driver for Brother laser printers. Although most Brother printers support a standard printer language such as PCL or PostScript, not all do. If you have a monochrome Brother laser printer (or multi-function device) and the other open source drivers don't work, this one might help. This driver has been reported to work with these printers: * Brother DCP-1510 series * Brother DCP-1600 series * Brother DCP-7030 * Brother DCP-7040 * Brother DCP-7055 * Brother DCP-7055W * Brother DCP-7060D * Brother DCP-7065DN * Brother DCP-7080 * Brother DCP-L2500D series * Brother DCP-L2520D series * Brother DCP-L2540DW series * Brother HL-1110 series * Brother HL-1200 series * Brother HL-2030 series * Brother HL-2140 series * Brother HL-2220 series * Brother HL-2270DW series * Brother HL-5030 series * Brother HL-L2300D series * Brother HL-L2320D series * Brother HL-L2340D series * Brother HL-L2360D series * Brother HL-L2375DW series * Brother HL-L2390DW * Brother MFC-1910W * Brother MFC-7240 * Brother MFC-7360N * Brother MFC-7365DN * Brother MFC-7420 * Brother MFC-7460DN * Brother MFC-7840W * Brother MFC-L2710DW series * Lenovo M7605D Other printers -------------- If your printer isn't included in the list above, just try selecting any entry marked 'brlaser' and see if it works. If it does, please create a new issue here in Github and include the output of this command: sudo lpinfo --include-schemes usb -l -v Then I'll be able to add a proper entry for your printer. Installation ------------ Some operating systems already ship this driver. This is the case for at least Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian, openSUSE, NixOS, Arch Linux and Guix. Look for a package named `printer-driver-brlaser`. You'll also need Ghostscript, in case that's not installed automatically. Once brlaser is installed, you can add your printer using the usual CUPS interface. Building from source -------------------- To compile brlaser you'll need CMake and the CUPS development packages (libcups2-dev, libcupsimage2-dev or similar). Get the code by cloning the git repo . Compile and install with these commands: cmake . make sudo make install It might be needed to restart CUPS after this.
