MFC-L5800DW works! using brlaser MFC-L2710DW driver

Open dsanderling opened this issue 9 months ago • 5 comments

My printer is connected to my wifi network, so lpinfo usb doesn't show anything. But let me know if I can provide any more info. Thank you so much for this! I'd about given up when a friend pointed me to this project.

I have alternate instructions for network connected printers; (pending update to README.md on Owl-Maintain/brlaser)

The relevant section:

With your printer powered on, connect it to your computer via USB or obtain your printer's IP address.

For network printers:

  • Run the following command:

    /usr/lib/cups/backend/snmp IP_ADDRESS_HERE

  • Example of output:

    INFO: Using default SNMP Community public
    network lpd://HL-2270DW-LAN/BINARY_P1 "Brother HL-2270DW series" "Brother HL-2270DW series" "MFG:Brother;CMD:PJL,PCL,PCLXL;MDL:HL-2270DW series;CLS:PRINTER;CID:Brother Laser Type1;" ""
    

Please provide the output of the command so that we can add the proper entry for your specific printer model in the driver.

Feel free to give feedback if the section can still need to be improved.

Your printer will be added to Owl-Maintain/brlaser, which has open an pull request here (#179) for all the new printers added.
