Brother HL-1200 series not showing option for brlaser in cups admin

[thanksmister]

Brother HL-1200 series says it's supported with brlaser, but there is no brlaser option for HL-1200 in the cups admin. I was able to get some printing support using the Brother DCP-1510 series and Brother HL-L2300D but not all documents print.

Output:

Device: uri = usb://Brother/HL-1200%20series?serial=H0N702650
        class = direct
        info = Brother HL-1200 series

        device-id = MFG:Brother;CMD:PJL,HBP;MDL:HL-1200 series;CLS:PRINTER;CID:Brother Laser Type3;
        location =

Looking at your screenshot it looks like you currently have brlaser v4 installed, and support for the Brother HL-1200 series printer was added in brlaser v5.

brlaser release v4 d80491b brlaser release v5 ff68db0

OK, I tried to update by installing it again and it says its already the newest version?

sudo apt-get install -y printer-driver-brlaser

printer-driver-brlaser is already the newest version (4-1).

So do I have to make brlaser from the repository? The documentation says it's already installed, which is a Raspberry PI running Raspian. Is there a way to update it?

I was able to update brlaser with this tutorial https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=252591 and resolved the issue. I now have the latest version of brlaser and the Brother HL-1200 brlaser driver appears. Thanks, closing the issue.
