Today no print jobs where actually performed by my Brother HL-L8260CDW anymore. The jobs should up as completed and no errors where shown, but nothing seemed to actually reach the printer.

When I changed the configuration from LPD to IPP, it magically worked again. :D

Thanks @Tetrapyle for the idea!

@nicolarevelant Sorry, you were right about the package dependencies.

/opt/brother/Printers/hll8260cdw/lpd/filter_hll8260cdw from hll8260cdwlpr-1.5.0-0.i386.rpm and /opt/brother/Printers/hll8260cdw/cupswrapper/brother_lpdwrapper_hll8260cdw from hll8260cdwcupswrapper-1.5.0-0.i386.rpm are perl scripts.

I was building in a chroot with only base-devel and it has perl. Several packages in base-devel (autoconf, automake...) depend on perl but none in base.

@Tetrapyle perl is neither in base nor in base-devel and namcap indicates me it's required.

Thank you nicolarevelant for adopting the package. I was going to do it, actually, so if you need to... By the way, perl can be removed from the dependencies, I don't think it's necessary and it's already in the base package anyway.

thanks for taking over that package

Thank you patstew for making this neat little PKGBUILD!

For those who might be interested in how to make the connection with CUPS over wifi (WLAN): Brother advertises lpd on their website but the newer ipp works. The URI is: ipp://192.168.0.100/ipp/port1 where, 192.168.0.100 e.g. is your printer's IP address.

Instead of the IP address which might change, you can use the printer name found by CUPS, say BRZZZZZZZZZZZZZ as in ipp://BRZZZZZZZZZZZZZ/ipp/port1 . But to make it work, you have to follow all instructions in the avahi wiki page (install the avahi and nss-mdns packages, start avahi-daemon.service and edit /etc/nsswitch.conf as stated in the Hostname resolution paragraph).

That being done, get the printer's uuid and use it to install the printer with lpadmin (See https://www.cups.org/doc/admin.html ):

$ lpinfo --include-schemes dnssd -v
network dnssd://Brother%20HL-L8260CDW%20series._ipp._tcp.local/?uuid=ffffffff-ffff-ffff-ffff-ffffffffffff
$ lpadmin -p brother_hl-l8260cdw-wlan -v dnssd://Brother%20HL-L8260CDW%20series._ipp._tcp.local/?uuid=ffffffff-ffff-ffff-ffff-ffffffffffff -m everywhere
