[QUOTE="mb720, post: 216306, member: 14582"] This was solved with the kind help of user stewi on [url='https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brother-dcpl3550cdw/#comment-728480']aur.archlinux.org[/url]: Using the CUPS web interface at [URL]http://localhost:631/admin[/URL], add a new [url='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Printing_Protocol']IPP[/url] printer. As the URL, use [i]ipp://<your_printer_ip>/ipp/port1[/i] or [i]ipp://<your_printer_hostname>/ipp/port1[/i]. In my case, I used [i]ipp://BRWC0B5D72A0B89/ipp/port1[/i]. To find the name or IP of your printer, you can scan your local network with nmap. For example: [code]nmap -sP 192.168.178.*[/code] In CUPS' web interface, you should then see two drivers, pick the one literally named [i]{current_make_and_model} - IPP Everywhere ™[/i]: [img]https://i.imgur.com/pxtXD3V.png[/img] This way, I got printing in color working smoothly on my Brother DCP-L3550CDW. What tripped me up was the fact that [i]system-config-printer[/i] does not offer to select this driver, but picks [i]Brother DCP-L3550CDW CUPS (en)[/i] whose name looks right but doesn't seem to work at all.
