Add Brother drivers #72

Closed wschaeffer closed 2 years ago

wschaeffer commented 2 years ago

Is it possible to add Brother printer drivers? The current list in CUPS is far from complete. This driver should work: https://github.com/pdewacht/brlaser It's is available in the Debain repository, named printer-driver-brlaser

Sure, as long as the package is available in the official Debian repositories, it's all good 👍

I did not follow the additions in Debian printer drivers for a while now, feel free to suggest other additions if you have any on the top of your mind.

Thanks again for the suggestion!

Oh wait, actually printer-driver-brlaser should already be available in the image as it's a dependency of printer-driver-all which is included. How did you come up to the conclusion that the driver was not installed?

Good point, I noticed that not all available printer series are available in CUPS according to this list: https://github.com/pdewacht/brlaser In my case I miss the Brother HL-L2300D series driver. I noticed that Bullseye ships with the latest version of brlaser: https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/printer-driver-brlaser Is the base docker image based on Debian buster? That would explain the difference.

My bad, used an old docker image. Thanks for the quick response anyway!
