As Manjaro does not use RPM or DEB, how do I add my printer? I know my printer’s address, but that is as far as I’ve gotten.
sudo bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.4-1
Rpm or dpkg is required.
Hit Enter/Return key.
You can install the driver from the AUR.
Search for it with: yay -Ss brother-dcp7065dn
and then install the latest version:
yay -S brother-dcp7065dn 3.1.0-4
Or, if you don’t have yay installed, but have activated the AUR in pamac:
pamac build brother-dcp7065dn
You should not need to install any drivers. Make sure you have cups-browsed installed and enable.
pacman -S cups-browsed
then
sudo systemctl enable --now cups-browsed
Your printer should be detected almost instantly.

Sure … it detects the Brother printer (in this case MFC-7360N) but reports that it cannot find the drivers for it.
I too get the RPM error when trying to install the drivers after having downloaded them from Brother.
Is there a way to install these drivers? Thanks
There is a driver in the AUR brother-mfc-7360n
Hi @Jedaa so, that printer is too old, IPP printing in general did not become common on Printers until around 2012 ish I believe.
The AUR driver is basically the .deb package, extracted, it’s a simple package. It also has brscan4 as an optional dependency, so be sure to install it and you will be able to use the scanner, but it will need to be configured.
As an someone that has been using Brother printers in Linux for years, on these older models, I HIGHLY recommend setting the printer to a fixed IP address, either on the printer itself, or by reserving a particular IP address in your router.
Here are the steps I would try:
- set printer to fixed IP address
- install the AUR printer driver
brother-mfc-7360n
(Configure the printer to use ipp://192.168.1.40/BINARY_P1 as an address, then select the new driver for it.) - Configure the scanner by running this command;
sudo brsaneconfig4 -a name="Brother-MFC-7360n" model="MFC-7360n" ip=192.168.1.40
Note: obviously, change the IP address to your IP address. If the ipp address does not work, you will have to use LPD/LPRng
Thank you John, so there is!! … don’t know how i missed that. Age must be catching up! Printer installs as you describe - simple! 
However configuring the scanner was not as successful. “brsanconifg4” is nowhere to be found on my system and i am positive it is not in the repo as i tried all search combinations i could muster.
What might I be missing here? Or is it again a case of ‘domestic-blindness’ 
It should be brscan4
In terminal:
pamac install brscan4
or via pamac GUI
Ah yes! Installing brscan4 from AUR puts the brsaneconfig4 file (and others) under /opt/brother/scanner/brscan4. Running the line by @DeLinuxCo then does the job.
Thank you to both
Glad it work for you, don’t forget to mark the post as solved
