    I have a brother laser that I bought about 4 years ago and the thing is a workhorse. Linux setup via CUPS (I think) was pretty simple on Arch.

    • I literally had to do nothing to two or three different Manjaro builds - showed up as the correct model network printer, “driverless CUPS” listed for driver info.

      Did two other recent builds (different hardware, but I’m surprised that would matter here) and it sees the printer, and will let me add it, but always gives me “Unable to locate printer” if I try to print to it. On one system I even installed the relevant drivers from the AUR (which I did not have to do on the others) and still no luck.

      It’s mostly just an annoyance, so it’s been low on my list to fix. I for sure do not blame the printer though.
