I printed a test page and 2 pages from my document (duplex even works!) I found the URI by using 'lpinfo -v' and playing around with the different outputs until one worked. This removes the printer and then adds it back with the correct URI. Ii - sudo lpadmin -p HL2270DW -E -v dnssd://Brother%20HL-2270DW%20series._pdl-datastream._tcp.local/ -P /usr/share/cups/model/HL2270DW.ppd Immediately after runnings the cupswrapper, give 2 commands:

This gave me 'printer not found' errors, for good reason. So no matter what, it adds a usb printer. Lpadmin -p HL2270DW -E -v $port -P $ppd_file_name Port2=`lpinfo -v | grep -i 'usb://Brother/' | head -1` HOWEVER, the file only works for usb connections - the very end of the file goes as follows: If you are using a USB connection it might work (I have no idea, printer is connected to router by ethernet). Go to /usr/local/Brother/Printer/HL2270DW/cupswrapper/ and run cupswrapperHL2270DW-2.0.4.

sudo cp -r ~/tmp/usr/* /usr & sudo cp -r ~/tmp/var/* /varĦ.

Go into ~/usr/local/Brother/Printer/HL2270DW/inf/setupPrintcap2 and change 'printcap.local' to 'printcap' - I think there was only 1 instance of this.ĥ. Go into ~/usr/local/Brother/Printer/HL2270DW/cupswrapper/cupswrapperHL2270DW-2.0.4 and change all instances of 'init.d' to 'rc.d'.Ĥ. rpm files (you'll need rpmextract) - I put them in my ~ģ. Go to the Brother site and download both. UPDATE - working printer! Here's how I did it: (inspired mostly by )ġ. I now use the Foomatic/hl1250 drivers and it works.ĭriver: Brother DCP-1200 Foomatic/hl1250 (recommended) (grayscale, 2-sided printing) EDIT - the steps below don't work for me.
