Hi, guys!
I used to install the .rpm or .deb Brother DCP-J105 drivers using the console on Ubuntu, but in Manjaro I’ve never done that before since it doesn’t support the file extensions mentioned? I remember enabling them when I was using EndeavourOS, but I don’t remember nothing but doing it through a web browser configuration as I was told. Could you please give me a hand on this?
-Alex.
PS.- It’s been using wirelessly, though.
Just a search: AUR (en) - Packages
The AUR Script converts the rpm package into a native tar.zst one and install it.
pamac build brother-dcpj105
Thank you, @megavolt.
I’ve downloaded the drivers, unzip and opened up a console to install them, but it responded me with “Error: target not found”. I first tried the officials and then the ones from AUR, and it was the same result:
pamac build linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1
Error: target not found
pamac build dcpj105cupswrapper-3.0.0-1.i386.rpm
Error: target not found
Dear @alro7779 
pamac needs recipe to convert it which is retrieved from the AUR database. It retrieves and converts the rpm package automatically.
Maybe the pointing finger emoji was not noticed.
Use the command @megavolt supplied in his first response to you.
pamac build brother-dcpj105 ✔

Apply transaction ? [e/y/N]
Should I apply transaction?
but of course - you want to build and install it
All the other things are prerequisites and thus needed.
hit “y”
or just Enter
In fact, you should first install:
base-devel
it is a group of packages needed to deal with AUR packages.
… install all of them!
pamac install base-devel
then proceed with:
pamac build brother-dcpj105
Transaction successfully finished.
OK, now I can install the drivers as I tried at the beginning or are they installed already?
EDIT: That base-devel installation you mentioned to do “before” arrived to my screen “after” the installation of the drivers. Could I do it now anyway?
not quite sure - they should be installed
… what was the output before:
Transaction successfully finished ?
It’s quite verbose, usually.
Tells you what was done.

lpadmin: Printer drivers are deprecated and will stop working in a future version of CUPS.
The printer now appears on System Settings/Printers:
Not sure, but there must be a checkbox at the settings to activate the printer. At least on system-config-printer I can see it. I am not using KDE.
How can I check the CUPS status? Maybe it’s an issue related to that.
EDIT: If I open the Printer Configuration:
No idea… I mean this here:
I opened up system-config-printer and I changed the path to use the ipp protocol, and it worked! Now I just need the scan working as well, because if I open Skanlite up, this appears:
Should I use the pamac build brscan4 command this time? Well, I did it but it keeps telling me that no devices found.
EDIT: I did what it recommends here:
Installing brscan4 (0.4.11_1-1)... [1/1]
Find additional documentation about scanner driver install at:
http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_scn1.html
For a network installation run the following as root:
brsaneconfig4 -a name="Brother" model="YOURMODELHERE" ip=YOUR.SCANNER.IP.HERE
Now the scanner is working too!!!
