You don't install it on the printer, it is already there. But if you bypass cups and send the postscript file directly to the printer, you have to tell the the printer to always use br-scrip emulation. > When I was installing via "rpm" driver for another printer HL-3170CDW I got > a warning: > > lpadmin -p HL3170CDW -E -v usb://dev/usb/lp0 -P > /usr/share/cups/model/Brother/brother_hl3170cdw_printer_en.ppd > lpadmin: Printer drivers are deprecated and will stop working in a future > version of CUPS. I don't know much about cups, but they seems to be in the middle of something: https://github.com/apple/cups/issues/5271 Regards, /Karl Hammar

When I was installing via "rpm" driver for another printer HL-3170CDW I got a warning: lpadmin -p HL3170CDW -E -v usb://dev/usb/lp0 -P /usr/share/cups/model/Brother/brother_hl3170cdw_printer_en.ppd lpadmin: Printer drivers are deprecated and will stop working in a future version of CUPS.

That printer supports BR-Script (PostScript lvl3 language emulation). Why not just use postscript. Regards, /Karl Hammar

Another printer I have is hl-3170cdw and there are no drivers for it but installation via rpm is easy: Instalation instructions at: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Brother_networked_printer check if exist if not make it: mkdir -p /var/spool/lpd mkdir -p /usr/lib64/cups/filter rpm -i --nodeps hl3170cdwlpr-1.1.2-1.i386.rpm rpm -i --nodeps hl3170cdwcupswrapper-1.1.4-0.i386.rpm ln -s /usr/lib64/cups/filter/brother_lpdwrapper_hl3170cdw /usr/libexec/cups/filter/ Ps. current "rpm-4.14.2.1-r1" package is buggy (should not be used) there is a bug-filed against it. rpm-4.16.0 works OK
Re: [gentoo-user] Brother printer HL-5370
Install the net-print/brother-hl5370dw-bin driver from the brother printer overlay, and then add the printer with that driver from the cups browser interface.
