[SOLVED] Brother MFC-930CDN: Print jobs are completed - nothing is printed 21 January 2021, 03:47:26 Hi, I figured out how to install a Brother MFC-930CDN over the LAN network, but I still cannot print.Here is the problem.This is a Japanese Brother printer. I can use it in Debian, but I recently switched to Artix and I cannot complete the installation.Since there were no drivers available for Arch, I took the two following files from my Debian installation:- brmfc940cdn.ppd- brlpdwrappermfc930cdnI copied them respectively in /usr/share/ppd/cupfilters and /usr/lib/cups/filters, then I changed the owner and group to root (as they were in Debian).Now, when I try to print a test page, I get this:ID Name User Size Pages StateBrother_MFC-930CDN-79 Unknown Withheld 1k Unknown completed at Thu 21 Jan 2021 11:26:38 AM JSTI wonder if I have to edit the ppd file or something. (Or worse, if my procedure is completely wrong.)Any help would be appreciated... Last Edit: 03 February 2021, 23:59:28 by nous
Re: Brother MFC-930CDN printer: Print jobs are completed but nothing is printed Reply #1 – 21 January 2021, 08:11:53 Your way is obviously wrong.Driver for archlinux is in AUR, install them.https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brother-mfc-930cdn/

Re: Brother MFC-930CDN printer: Print jobs are completed but nothing is printed Reply #3 – 21 January 2021, 09:18:21 one license file is changed, but nobody changed md5sum in PKGBUILD. i build the package, you can download it from https://github.com/alium/share/blob/master/brother-mfc-930cdn-1.1.2_2-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst and install with pacman -Uedit: if yay failed,you can still download PKGBUILD from AUR and modify him and build manually with makepkg command.
