Printing to the Brother MFC-L2710DW stopped working for me on the three (3) Arch machines I operate. I tried debugging, but cannot find any errors, I suppose it might have something to do with multilib issues. To circumvent this issue, I switched to using a Debian based cups docker and that shares my Brother as a raw printing device to my Arch machines.

I also needed to install ghostscript to get the printer working.

@enginefeeder101 : your aur package is still working fine (no error, printing/scanning do work as expected). for scanner another aur package is required: brscan4

You may want to add brscan4 as opt dep for scanning.

As enginefeeder101 commented, the Brother MFC-L2710DW works fine for printing and scanning. brscan4 must also be installed. However, you will need to use the brscan4 associated program "brsaneconfig4" to add the scanner. I set the printer to a fixed IP and put an IP reservation in the router - in my case to 192.168.1.130 Then I executed: sudo brsaneconfig4 -a name=Brother-MFC-L2710DW-series model="Brother MFC-L2710DW series" ip=192.168.1.130

Obviously you may have set different names but these were the default names. Enjoy!

I own a MFC-L2710DW since a month or two. Both (duplex) printing and scanning (using brscan4 and brscan-skey for easy access buttons) works without any quirks.

Are there specific features I can check for you?

I use Arch and am currently considering purchasing a Brother MFC-L2710DW: there is no information about it on the Linux OpenPrinting database, and I'd like to make sure that it works perfectly in Arch before I take the plunge and buy it.

I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me whether this package/driver works perfectly, mostly, or only partially. Thanks.

I indeed used "LPD/LPR Host or Printer" and "socket://brother:9100" as address. What connection type did you try?

This package is based on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brother-mfc-l2750dw that package (same as this one btw) states "LPR and CUPS driver for the Brother ...".
