Support #470
Updated by Daniel Curtis over 9 years ago
This guide will help setup print support for Brother 7820N multi-function printer support on Arch Linux. This guide assumes cower or a similar AUR package handler is installed.
* Download the necessary files and dependencies from the AUR:
<pre>
mkdir ~/src && cd ~/src
cower -dd brother-cups-wrapper-laser
</pre>
* Compile and install the required dependencies, then finally the driver itself:
<pre>
cd brother-lpr-drivers-common/
makepkg -csi
cd ../brother-cups-wrapper-common/
makepkg -csi
cd ../brother-lpr-drivers-laser/
makepkg -csi
cd ../brother-cups-wrapper-laser/
makepkg -csi
</pre>
* Now configure a printer:
<pre>
system-config-printer
</pre>
* Enable the cups service:
<pre>
systemctl enable cups.service
systemctl start cups.service
</pre>
