Brother DCP-L2540DW on Arch Linux

Printer

The printer driver can be installed with the brother-brgenml1 AUR package.

Pacaur:

pacaur -S brother-brgenml1

Manually:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/brother-brgenml1.git
cd brother-brgenml1
makepkg -src
sudo pacman -U brother-brgenml1-*.pkg.tar.xz

The following printer driver should now be available:

  • Make: Brother
  • Model: BrGenML1 for CUPS
  • Driver: Brother BrGenML1 for CUPS

In order to connect to the printer, I had to use LPD/LPR protocol because I could not connect to the printer using the IPP protocol

The scanner driver can be installed with the brscan4 AUR package.

Pacaur:

pacaur -S brscan4

Manually:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/brscan4.git
