For the life of me I can not print to my Brother HL-2270DW over wifi from linux or android. I've tried all combinations of print services, cups drivers and wrappers (even the ones from the Brother web site), and protocol/port/queue combinations I can find.

Anyone got any tips/tricks that can help me out? Some way to query the printer, watch the traffic (and know what to look for), anything?



I struggled with exactly this model and use case. Check out the AUR package for the 2270DW, and make sure image quality is set to 600dpi. That was the magic combination for me. Also check out the Arch wiki on Brother printers.


Thanks for the pointers!
