From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Have you tried using the driverless cups driver tho?
How would I do that? When trying to add my printer, it wouldn't let me continue unless I selected a printer model
Edit: I found the generic printer option under the model selection. However, when I select it, the paper goes through the printer but nothing is printed
I have a
Brother HL-L2395DW
Tho when I went to add it as a printer, my system automatically selected the "reccomended" drivers on Plasma 6+.
I remember on older Plasma, that you still had to select
Brother
first, then search for model type. At that next screen or if I edit my current printer, I searched forL23
:By generic printer driver, I meant the cups/driverless one on this selection screen. Opposed to any official
Brother
orGutenPrint
drivers/ppd files.I did try searching for your exact model, but nothing showed for me...tho I can't tell if that's because mine is already wireless/UPnP and grabbing only it's settings.
I'm using the
Brother HL-L2395DW series, driverless, 2.0.0
I Just have to also make sure duplex printing is set to on, both system and firefox/application whatever settings. On Firefox I use
Flip on long edge
