[QUOTE="hanselhan1992, post: 204474, member: 6230"] 1.Check if other drivers available Check repositories with yaourt -Ss brother Check foomatic, if your device is supporter. These drivers usually work out of the box for supported devices. Check the Gutenprint database. Result: none available for the DCP-7065DN. So we’ve got to download the official Brother drivers. 2. Get the official drivers I was a bit concerned as Brother only provides .rpm or .deb drivers for i368, not for x64.However, I decided to give it a try, an I wasn’t disappointed. In fact, Brother’s official FAQ states that the 32bit drivers can be used for 64bit systems, with some modifications. They do not describe how to do it in Arch, so I ‘m going to explain it step by step. I downloaded the two rpm packages into a temporary folder and extracted them with rpmextract (which can be found in extra repository) $ rpmextract.sh cupswrapperDCP7065DN-2.0.4-2.i386.rpm $ rpmextract.sh dcp7065dnlpr-2.1.0-1.i386.rpm Extraction will yield an usr and a var folder in your temporary directory. 3. Modifications Modify files to make it work with Archlinux Edit following file $ emacs PathToTemporaryDir/usr/local/Brother/Printer/DCP7065DN/cupswrapper/cupswrapperDCP7065DN-2.0.4 Find and replace each instance of /etc/init.d/cups with /etc/rc.d/cupsd and the remaining /etc/init.d/ with /etc/rc.d/ This is unfortunately described wrongly in other guides I have found! Be careful. The current cups daemon in Arch is cupsd, not cups! 4. Copy the files After having edited the file, you are ready to copy the files to the corresponding directories: $ sudo cp -r PathToTemporaryDirectory/usr/* /usr $ sudo cp -r PathToTemporaryDirectory/var/* /var 4. Installing drivers and printer Now go to the following directory and execute the cupswrapper scrpit: $ cd /usr/local/Brother/Printer/DCP7065DN/cupswrapper $ sudo ./cupswrapperDCP7065DN-2.0.4 :: Stopping cupsd daemon [DONE] :: Starting cupsd daemon [DONE] 5. Finishing CUPS configuration If you now return to localhost:631/ you will find the appropriate driver for your MFP when adding a device! Beside This is a 32 bit driver, I have found no problems so far. It works For You To. [/QUOTE]
