  • [gentoo-user] Brother HL-L6200DW

    From thelma@sys-concept.com@21:1/5 to All on Wed Apr 6 21:50:01 2022
    Does anybody have this printer?

    Is there a driver in overlay to setup this printer?

    Installing those drivers from rpm and cupswrapper is tiring.

    I have a different brother printer but I used an ebuild from brother-overlay <https://github.com/stefan-langenmaier/brother-overlay> as a template.
    The closest to your printer would likely be brother-hll8350cdw-bin-1.1.2-r1.ebuild <https://github.com/stefan-langenmaier/brother-overlay/blob/master/net-print/brother-hll8350cdw-bin/brother-hll8350cdw-bin-1.1.2-r1.ebuild>.
    Rename to brother-hl6200dw-bin-1.1.2-r1.ebuild. Change the parts of SRC_URI
    to match the download URI used to download the driver(s) from the Brother website. Change instances of "hll8350cdw" to "hll6200dw".

    This is a good idea. I've the files (modified them): brother-hl6200dw-bin-1.1.2-r1.ebuild and metadata.xml

    My only question is which directory to put them in? I think: /usr/local/portage/(something)

    That's described in <https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Creating_an_ebuild_repository>. In short:

    I just tired generic brother printer and it works perfectly.
    emerge --ask net-print/brother-genml1-bin

    No need to complicate installation of specific driver.
