Description

This guide will help setup print support for Brother 7820N multi-function printer support on Arch Linux. This guide assumes yaourt or a similar AUR package handler is installed.

  • Install CUPS:
    sudo pacman -S cups a2ps
    
  • Install the brother-cups-wrapper-laser package from the AUR:
    yaourt brother-cups-wrapper-laser
    
  • Now configure a printer:
    system-config-printer
    
  • Start and enable the cups service at boot:
    sudo systemctl enable org.cups.cupsd.service
    sudo systemctl start org.cups.cupsd.service
    
    • (Optional) Start the printer discovery service:
      sudo systemctl start cups-browsed.service
      
  • Next open a web browser and go to http://localhost:631 and add the printer from the Administration section.
    1. NOTE: By default, only root will be allowed to add new printers.
    2. NOTE: For remote CUPS print servers, administering over an SSH tunnel is helpful:
      ssh -L 6310:localhost:631 cups.example.com
      

GUI Method

  • Install the system-config-printer package:
    sudo pacman -S system-config-printer
    
  • Launch the Gnome Printer Settings application:
    sudo system-config-printer
    
  • Add a new network printer with the URL ipp://192.168.1.9/BRN_7820N and search for the Brother 7820n drivers using the built-in tool.
