dcp-1610w-bin is empty. #39

Closed crocket closed 7 years ago

crocket commented 7 years ago

The ebuild file for dcp-1610w-bin doesn't download and unpack rpm files.

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=brother-dcp1610w might be useful as a reference.

The ebuild in the repo is only for the scanner part. It looks like there is no ebuild for the printer part. I'll try to have something over the weekend.

I added now also a printer driver net-print/brother-dcp1610w-bin. Could you please report back if the printer is working as I cannot test it.

Thanks!

I installed both net-print/brother-dcp1610w-bin and media-gfx/brother-dcp1610w-bin

CUPS says

File "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/brother_lpdwrapper_DCP1610W" not available: No such file or directory

I think https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=brother-dcp1610w is correct. Your ebuild makes symlinks at incorrect locations.

media-gfx/brother-scan4-bin-0.4.4-r2 scans properly from DCP-1610W.

To me it looks more like the filename (but not the path is incorrect). I update the ebuild. Could you try it again?

crocket commented 7 years ago

With your last update, I can send printing commands to DCP-1610W.

I can confirm that I can print to and scan from DCP-1610W.

Thanks for your effort. I'm closing this issue.
