Install Brother DCP-7010 under Arch Linux

8.01.2011

This how-to will enable you to print and scan with a Brother DCP-7010 printer under Arch Linux. (For deb- and rpm-based Distributions, there are Drivers available.)

Install brother-dcp7010 and brscan2 via AUR
Install sane and a frontend for it, e.g. xsane
Add your user to the scanner-Group: gpasswd -a username scanner
Add the keyword brother2 to /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
Log out and back in

You should now be able to print and scan.

Hi,

Thanks for your post. Now I’m able to scan from my dcp-7010.. But CUPS is still unable to find my printer…
I have tried to blacklist or not usblp, no change. Do you have any hint of what I could try ? Right now I’m a bit lost…

Thanks

Jan

@Jan: For me, if I recall correctly, it worked with the driver from AUR. Try to check whether the printer was correctly identified using tools like lsusb, dmesg and udev. Then see whether you can manually add the printer to CUPS.

ATM I don’t have the printer installed anymore, so I can’t send you any configfiles or settings.
