Connect your Brother DCP-L2530DW to your WLAN/Wifi network. Find the printer’s IP (make sure it is static, e. g. by setting it up accordingly in your router). Adjust the IP in the lines below.
Scanning
Install brscan4
and xsane
.
As root run: brsaneconfig4 -a name="DCP-L2530DW" model="DCP-L2530DW" ip=192.168.1.123
Printing
Install cups
.
As root run: lpadmin -p DCP-L2530DW-IPPeverywhere -E -v "ipp://192.168.1.123/ipp/print" -m everywhere
And you are ready to go, enjoy!
PS: If you change the IP, you might need to edit /etc/opt/brother/scanner/brscan5/brsanenetdevice.cfg
and /etc/cups/printers.conf
.
For printing via USB (e.g. because you don’t want to have a 2.4GHz network anymore but this sad printer supports no 5GHz), simply install brother-dcp-l2530dw
from AUR, “find new printers” in CUPS and add it.
Works fine with brscan4/brsaneconfig4 as well.
