Add support for Brother HL-3140CW series #23

Closed allan2 closed 7 years ago

allan2 commented 7 years ago

Would it be possible to add the drivers for the Brother HL-3140CW?

I have tried with net-print/brother-genml1-bin (3.1.0-r1) over LPD and no-go.

Hi,

I added the printer. Could you please give me some feedback as I don't have the hardware so there is no way for me to test it.

Best regards Stefan

seems the drivers did not get copied to /opt

Yes looks like I forgot to copy the folder. Should be fixed.

It was not working and gave this message in CUPS: Idle - "File "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/brother_lpdwrapper_hl3140cw" not available: No such file or directory"

It is now working after making the changes in #25. Please look it over :)

I merged it. Thanks!
