Yeah I went through the whole process to download the linux drivers and generate the package as outlined on the Brother website. I could never get it functioning properly that way. The generic driver that the bazzite/fedora print manager used occasionally works but again, it does weird stuff sometimes.
@Know_not_Scotty_does If the manufacturer gave linux drivers, they are probably inserted into your linux distribution. So you do not need to install anything.
My specific printer wasn’t listed in the default print manager but it also didn’t make a difference when I tried to manually add it via the brother website. Its an old and shitty printer, I need to just replace it.
I don’t have Windows, no. The drivers are packaged in the AUR. If you install the driver on your Android phone you can also print from your phone. Android is also Linux-based. 😁
@victorz @Know_not_Scotty_does “Just install the driver”, so you must have a windows with it, too, only to use your own printer…

Arch wins the day again, yaay
