Finally got Brother B2100 to work on Pi zero. Had to uninstall ipp-usb so that cups can finally detect it. Why...? Had me wracking ma greys for days.

PS- Brother HL-L2300D brlaser driver.

After countless cleaning cycles, dousing the print head in distilled water and pushing cleaning solution with syringes through the internal pipes, I give up.
After 17 years of service this #brotherprinter is allowed to retire. I am still amazed by the fact that brother still supplies drivers and manuals on its website for a printer which hit the market in 2007. Let's see whether the next one lasts as long.

Spent the morning, wasted time, on #BrotherPrinter software and firmware.

Consumer and small business IT, hardware and software, need to have a government backed, government enforced, guarrantee of #FitForPurpose.

The garbage that Brother plates up is a #BushmansBreakfast.

And then there are the #BrotherPrinter instructions.
Like, "When the driver install dialog box says to restart your computer, do NOT restart your computer...."

And the looooooong "Submitting settings ... Please wait." Followed after 5 minutes with "Failed to connect".
And then instructions on how to manually connect the printer that is already manually connected.

Next I try "Enter IP address". đŸ€ź

My sis is in the market for a Multifunction (all-in-one) color laser/led network printer but I have no clue what's current and what's to avoid.
I'm running a Samsung Xpress SL-C480W/TEG but Samsung sold there printer divisionn to HP.

She definitly don't want anything from HP.

From a quick look both the
Brother MFC-L3760CDW
and the
Canon i-SENSYS MF657Cdw
seem to fit the bill (LAN, Linux Support, Air Print/Air Scan)

Any tips or suggestions?

Pro tip: If you have a Brother laser printer and it's not working on Linux over a network to print but scanning works, you may need to switch it from IPP over the IPP protocol to IPP over the DNSSD protocol.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a label printer for use from Linux? I'd like to connect with USB from my desktop Linux PC. Ideally, I'd prefer to not install any proprietary drivers and use all free software. Also, I think it'd be convenient to have it work independently from a computer, so having an included keyboard would be nice, I imagine.

I have a new small parts organizer that I hope to store a collection of resistors and capacitors, op-amps and other small electronics prototyping parts of different values. I would like to print labels for each drawer.

I'm looking at this one: https://www.brother-usa.com/products/ptd610bt

Anyone have any experience with this label printer from Brother with Linux or standalone?
