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:

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 . Compile and install with these commands:

cmake .
make
sudo make install

It might be needed to restart CUPS after this.
