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.

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, Gentoo, 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 <!-- or downloading the [latest
release] -->. Compile and install with these commands:
cmake .
make
sudo make install
It might be needed to restart CUPS after this.
