Thank you, guys! I hadn't realized that it was broken. I reinstalled it and was able to reproduce the issue. Removing the patch for the margin alignments fixed it and I was able to print without alignment issues after the update.

Also updated the package version to match the Brother's driver version.

Another bit of info: After the upgrade but before rebooting, when I tried to print my printer would output a single page with this line "<</.HWMargins[17. 12. 17. 12.]>>setpagedevice". So it definitely seems related to the patch.

I have cups 2.3.0-3 and cups-filters 1.25.4-1 installed.

Thanks for packaging this, sergiodlc. It makes installing these drivers much easier.

I had the same issue after a recent upgrade. I also do not know the exact version number where things broke.

But I can confirm that f3ath's fix removing the patch lines resolves the issue for me.

Thanks for that bit of debugging! I never would have figured out the lpadmin command for that. It's a shame that the CUPS interface doesn't print more info than "Unable to copy PPD file". And /var/log/cups/error_log only shows "Returning IPP server-error-internal-error for CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer".

Not sure what went wrong but my printer stopped working after one of the recent updates. I failed to locate the particular version and package where it broke. Currently I have cups@2.2.12-1 and cups-filters@1.25.3-1. I could see errors related to "filter" (can't give the exact message now). I tried reinstalling the driver and CUPS itself and was getting "Unable to copy PPD file" error. And the CLI was giving me this:

[f3ath@glider ~]$ sudo lpadmin -p Bro -E -v "usb://Brother/HL-2280DW?serial=U62708J2N467875" -m HL2280DW.ppd

lpadmin: Unable to open PPD "/tmp/00df35d61f339": Illegal option keyword string on line 282.

So I figured it's related to the patch applied to the PPD. After removing the last 5 lines from /usr/share/cups/model/HL2280DW.ppd I was able to add the printer in CUPS successfully.

What is the purpose of the patch?

The answer is in the error message that you got: "patch: command not found". You need to install the patch package.

Correction: It builds... I mis-configured /etc/pacman.conf. Fixed when I properly enabled multilib. My bad.
