I don’t know if it would be better to reinstall and start from scratch. Maybe I have something installed that’s preventing me from making changes.
I have to go to work. I’ll continue when I get back.
Thanks.
LPR stands for Line Printer Remote, which is a protocol for sending a print job to a print server. It has nothing specifically to do with laser printers.
I would install both the LPR driver and the CUPS wrapper:
yay -S brother-dcpj140w-lpr-bin brother-dcpj140w-cups-bin
Exactly lpr (or lpd, the Line Printer Daemon Protocol) stems from 1983 BSD UNIX.
I’d go with CUPS (the Common UNIX Printing System) nowadays. CUPS should handle both lpr and IPP. I’m a little unsure if you have to install lpr or if installing cups will bring it in as a dependency. (I only have network printers and use IPP).
Could be you only have to install cups and brother-dcpj140w-cups-bin.
I would suggest brother-dcpj140w 1.1.3-3 since it has both cups wrapper and lpr and a patch to fix some issue.
I installed a Brother printer for my parents, and I had to add their username to the printer configuration to allow them to print before anything would actually print. A bit silly of a final step, but an important one
I’d like to erase everything related to the installation I’ve performed so far and start over. How can I do this? I know it’s with the -R command, but how do I know what I have to erase? I’ve tried all of these last options and they don’t work.
ok remove the model number from the same command Lang=C pacman -Qs brother I’m actually taking off for the night. Hopefully someone else can chime in soon.
you may need to run something like yay -Rns $PACKAGE01 $PACKAGE02 depending on what you have installed an need to uninstall.
I don’t know how to make it any clearer so hopefully someone will come and fill the gap. Please take time to read the link I posted about pacman and how to use it.
