Using the brother driver, only defaults are honored and print-specific settings are ignored. Or Brother's driver, which may result in failed prints with postscript errors.īrlaser-git AUR works better. Using the Generic PCL 6/PCL XL Printer - CUPS+Gutenprint ( gutenprint and foomatic-db-gutenprint-ppds).

Use IPP and Brother's driver to avoid page-shrinking and endless blank printouts
BROTHER CUPS PRINTER DRIVER INSTALL
Install Brother's driver or brother-hl3040cn AUR. Select HL-2170W as the driver in CUPS admin when adding a printer.
BROTHER CUPS PRINTER DRIVER DRIVERS
Should be compatible with any drivers for the HL-2030. Or foomatic - works mostly with hpijs-pcl5e.ppd.


Use IPP driver as described here and here. Unofficial driver, may be compatible with more models
