I just set this up on a new computer, and lpadmin kept crashing when trying to add a printer using this driver.

Edit on 18th of Jan: Thanks to mossblaser, I've implemented a fix in the PKGBUILD (3.0.0-5) which should allow this driver to continue to work with Arch's version of CUPS.

Alternatively, you can use the printer with the IPP Everywhere driver, and the URI ipp://<IP>:631/ipp.

Replace <IP> with the IP of your printer. I'm leaving this comment here for posterity, and for anyone who runs into a similar issue.

Can someone please confirm that this package works? on my laptop cups sendes data to the printer, but it does nothing. With sane Works, and the same printer prints on Windows.

You're welcome!

Works a treat, thank you very much :)

I've updated the package to use the new links. Everything should work now.

They seem to have restructured the site. I'll update the package later today. For the time being, see if the links for Ubuntu work here:http://support.brother.com/g/s/id/linux/en/instruction_prn1.html?c=eu_ot&lang=en&prod=mfcj6510dw_all&redirect=on

Damm, does anyone have a copy of the sources, brother have either removed them or the site is down.

lswest commented on 2015-02-05 14:03 (UTC)

Thanks for the post. I've updated the PKGBUILD and there shouldn't be any more issues.

You cannot use the PKGBUILD on newer arch versions, because package() is missing. Just moving the two "cp" commands from build() to a new package() function fixes that.

Thanks! Let me know if you run into any issues with the build.
