@victorz @Know_not_Scotty_does "Just install the driver", so you must have a windows with it, too, only to use your own printer...

    I don't have Windows, no. The drivers are packaged in the AUR. If you install the driver on your Android phone you can also print from your phone. Android is also Linux-based. 😁

    Yeah I went through the whole process to download the linux drivers and generate the package as outlined on the Brother website. I could never get it functioning properly that way. The generic driver that the bazzite/fedora print manager used occasionally works but again, it does weird stuff sometimes.

    @Know_not_Scotty_does If the manufacturer gave linux drivers, they are probably inserted into your linux distribution. So you do not need to install anything.
