How to set up USB printer with AUR driver?

Saaabo · 30 January 2022 20:32

I have a brother dcp-j125 USB printer at home.
Officially, there are .deb and .rpm drivers.
But I also found a driver for it on the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brother-dcpj125/

I now can select the driver when configuring a new printer.
But the said printer does not get recognized automatically, so I have to add it manually.

What do I choose in the fields: “Location” and “Connection”?

That was easy! Thank you! I just did
sudo systemctl enable --now cups.service
but i missed to do this

sudo systemctl enable --now cups.socket
sudo systemctl enable --now cups.path
