Install Brother QL-570 printer driver

Hello,
I am new to arch and I was wondering what is the best way to install the brother QL-570 driver.
The drivers can be found here.
http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bs … tml#QL-570
So my questions are as follows:
1. Should I install the LPR or CUPS version?
2. Should I install the rpm or .deb version?
If .deb should I use deb2targz like in
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XirJietlTfI
Or should I just create a PKGBUILD like in the following example.
http://nemrod.se/guides/install-rpm-pac … rch-linux/
3. How do I check and resolve any dependencies?
Thanks David

Did you try following the wiki? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CU … ter_driver
The package hplib is what I used for my brother printer. Then configure using cups. It's painless.
Good luck,

Difficulty installing Brother MFC-J825 printer driver

Hi
I'm trying to install a Brother MFC-J825DW printer to my MacBook Air running OSX 10.8.5.
I have downloaded and successfully installed the driver from the Brother website. However when I connect the printer via a USB port:
-- I can see the printer in 'Print and Scan' preferences
-- but I can't find the driver downloaded from Brother
-- instead I get prompted to dowload te driver from Apple
-- After clicking 'Install' - a few moments later, I get a message saying: The software is currently unavailable.
How can I use the drivers as downloaded directly from Apple?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Krish

... However when I connect the printer via a USB port:
The MFC-J825DW is a wireless printer. Assuming you have a wireless network, it's best to not use its USB connection at all.
Make sure the printer is connected to your wireless network. You can use its front panel control for configuration: Menu > Network > WLAN. Refer to its manual, page 34:
http://download.brother.com/welcome/doc002847/cv_mfc825dw_eng_net_b.pdf
Once you get it working, check Brother's website for firmware updates. An update was released for it about a month ago. Don't update its firmware until you get it working reliably.

Trying to install Brother MFC-j475dw printer on older macbook (running osx 10.5.8) and need an inbox driver as Brother drivers are only for 10.6 and newer. Any ideas?

I am can now connect with USB, I recieved a new not seen before window when I plugged in the phone with the Network window open that allowed me to click on apply an connect.

Should I install a 32 bit printer driver on a 64 Operating Sytem?

I have an HP Officejet 6700e wireless printer. It is used by 2 computers. The Operating Systems on the computers are as follows:
1 – HP Pavilion laptop using Windows 8.1, 64 bit.
2 – HP Pavilion laptop using Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit.
I noticed there are BOTH 32 bit and 64 bit printer drivers for Windows 7 and Windows 8 & 8.1.
I have 2 questions:
First, since both computers use 64 bit operating systems, shouldn't I install the 64 bit printer driver?
Second, is there any advantage to installing the 32 bit printer driver on a 64 bit operating system?
Thanks very much, Terry
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Install the driver which matches the operating system and the bit type (32-bit or 64-bit) that is installed on each PC.
Second, is there any advantage to installing the 32 bit printer driver on a 64 bit operating system? There is no advantage at all. It would actually be a bad practice unless the printer driver is compatible with both bit types.

Problem with installing HP LaserJet 1102 printer driver

Hi there,
I have got realy annoying problem with printer driver installation on HP LaserJet 1102.
Basically I downloaded driver from the website and tried to install printer. When the installation is almost done, the message pops up(image attached).
I've checked printer spooler service, tried almost everything.
Any suggestions/ideas?
Thanks
Minhoquinho

I would suggest going into your control panel and uninstalling everything associated with the p1102, rebooting your computer and trying a fresh install.
If this does not solve the install issue, please repost and error message along with your OS so that we may better help you.

How do install an OS 9 print driver if I can't startup in 9?

That pretty much sums up the issue. My G4 Powerbook will run classic but won't startup in 9. I have a print driver installer for 9 but it returns odd errors when I try to run the installer.
Thanks

If the printer in question has a Mac OS X driver, you don't need to install the Mac OS 9 driver into a system which is being used as Classic for Mac OS X 10.4; instead, use the LaserWriter 8 driver in the Chooser.

How do I install Brother MFC-5840CN scanner driver to eMac OSX?

I've done the installation but the icon doesn't exist to show that the scanner driver was installed. Plus, when I go to open it up from the CD, it asks me to choose an Application to open it. So far, nothing has worked. Do I need to uninstall it however many times I installed it? And/or what am I doing wrong?
The Brother printer is an all-in-one w/photoshop. I feel like I must be skipping a step but instructions are not helpful in troubleshooting this. Any help is greatly appreciated!! And I cannot wait until Monday to call Brother. We need the scanning feature for a school project due Monday.
(And for those of you who offered suggestions to my previous post about which all-in-one printer to buy for an eMac, I thank you very much! For some strange reason, I wasn't notified when your answers came in even though I checked off that box.)
Thanks again!
lablady

a brody,
I'm installing the file from the CD that came w/the Brother printer. It seems to successfully install to a Mac OSX but when I try to install and open up the BrotherTwain.pkg, it asks what application to use to open it. There aren't a lot of choices and so far, the 2 I have tried don't seem to work. Still trying to figure out what step I'm missing. I'm normally quite good at these technical issues.
Thanks,
lablady
What is the name of the file you are attempting to
install the drivers from? If it is a .exe that only
works on PCs. You would be looking for a .pkg, .app,
or .dmg file. If it there are none, please let us
know what they are.

Problems installing HP LJ M1319F printer driver

I have a home/office network. My HP LJ M1319f is attached to a desktop machine that is always on.
The printer is shared on my network and everyone has full permissions
I have another desktop and a Laptop that can access the printer via the fact it's shared.
The Laptop has Windows Vista and when I downloaded the HP driver and ran the installation, the install process
wanted to know if the printer was attached locally or was it networked.
I selected the network option and it proceeded to locate the printer and install the drivers no problem.
I now have an additional laptop running Windows 8 (all machines on my network run 64 bit Vista, or Win7)
So I downloaded the driver for Windows 8 64bit. However when I run the install, it never prompts for whether or not the
printer is networked, it simply tells me to plug the printer's USB plug into the computer and click NEXT.
Why isn't the driver install program asking me if the printer is locally attached or networked ?
Best Regards Hope to hear from someone soon.
Guy

Hi 2UWrangler
The downloaded driver is a plug and play driver and you have to connect the usb cable for it to continue the installation.
Here are the specifications for this printer and it is only usb supported.

How to install samsung clp-365w printer driver to 10.8.2

I have tryed with new software from samsungs suppert and also without samsung driver from computers printer/fax setup. I have also changerd my download setup in privacy so that downloadin from everywhere is possible.
Samsung says that the software is supporting 10.8.2 version of mountain lion and also say that there has not been other similar complaints.
So is there some setup or something what could be preventing installation?

Dear everyone with Mac installing problems! As you will see from my previous posts I have tried everything and still my intallation failed everytime. I have now re-installed the operating system Mountain Lion, backed everything up etc, and now it connects to the printer fine!
I think it may be a corrupeted file problem somewhere on the computer.
Hope this helps people!

Unable to install Officejet Pro L7590 print driver in Windows 8.1

I have lost days of time trying to get my OfficeJet Pro L7590 to print properly and otherwise operate in a stable manner. My computer is a new Dell XPS8700 running Windows 8, upgraded to Windows 8.1 via the "Store" app after purchase. My problems started soon after the 8.1 update.
The primary problem symptom is the printing of about a half page of text fine, then the printer spits the page out and prints several more pages of mostly blank paper with random symbols around a top or side edge. This occurs regardless of the program doing the printing, i.e., MS Word, Excel, Acrobat, etc.
I have run the Printing Doctor program many times which doesn't fix anything, despite its claims to the contrary (more below).
I have been on this forum many times and tried multiple instances of uninstall/reinstall without success. The HP Installer may make it through the whole installation process but unstable performance of the printer is the outcome. Uninstalling the printer software using HP's uninstaller ALWAYS crashes before it can finish uninstalling. I get a message of "HP Installer Uninstaller has stopped working". I would attach a screenshot here but I does not seem an option in this window.
I have run multiple versions of HP's scrubber programs which also crash by level 2 with same message. I still ran L4 regardless but that crashes, too. That's the constant of every uninstallation or scrubbing effort using HP's programs: a crash without an error message given beyond the "HP Installer Uninstaller has stopped working".
I run the Printer/Scanner Doctor tool when the software was malfunctioning and it always finds a Print Spooler problem, "fixes" it but the problem remains. This posting is coming after the "Doctor" tool told me to uninstall the program. HP's uninstaller crashed, as usual, but the I was told to use Windows Add/Remove programs to finish the job. I did. I have not tried to install the program again and am becoming close to 'Refreshing' my entire Windows program, which will require reinstalling and updating Windows and every program I use - which will take days. I hope to avoid that step.
Dell's hardware analysis utility tells me everything hardware is great!
I truly believe HP's software IS THE PROBLEM and would love to figure this out. The printer has always worked great - until the Windows 8.1 update. The scanner will work fine (usually) after I reinstall the software. I used the printer before on my prior computer running Windows 7 with no trouble.
Going into today's crash info, via Event Viewer, I have this message from the error log:
Application 'C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\Digital Imaging\bin\hpqbam08.exe' (pid 3960) cannot be restarted - Application SID does not match Conductor SID..
And this error occurred just after:

There was an earlier - about 30 minutes earlier - warning saying:
The application (HP Solution Center, from vendor Hewlett-Packard) has the following problem: To function properly, HP Solution Center must be reinstalled after you upgrade Windows.
I have reinstalled it many times. I have used HP's installation & uninstallation utilities, including the Installation failure utility, none of which install the program properly, CERTAINLY not well enough that I can EVER uninstall it without a crashed uninstallation per description above...
I think I have reviewed and tried every "canned" HP quick solution, and not so quick solution, on this forum.

I'm trying to install a dell 2130cn printer driver on my brand new iMac (2012). I'm an Apple newbie.

I just switched from PC to Apple (Ipad, Iphone and now Imac). my legacy printer is a Dell 2130cn color laser printer that I would hate to replace. I've tried the advice on the web involving downloading 3 Linux packages (pxlmono, Foomatic and Ghosecript) but ai think this only works for earlier versions of the imac. any advice, including 'ditch the printer' would be helpful.

First comment to make is that Steve Jobs and Michael Dell were not really on the best of terms :-)
Next comment is that on this Dell support page http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/kcs/document?docid=26 6268#Issue0_5 there is a long list of printers and a very small number of them do list Mac drivers. Your printer is listed a good ways down, but sadly is not one of the ones with Mac support.
Third comment is that someone said Lexmark makes Dell printers, so if you can visit that site and stumble upon a picture of a Lexmark that looks like yours, the drivers might work if they are Apple compatible.

CUPS Driver for Brother MFC-J270w Printer

Howdy, y'all.
Just wondering if anybody could help me find a .ppd version of the Brother MFC-J270w printer driver? Not available through the default packages (didn't show up in the CUPS interface) and the versions of the drivers on the Brother website are .rpm and .deb versions.
I bought this printer because there was a great deal at Best Buy, and now I am sadfacin'.

Where on the Wiki does it say you can't use the CD-ROM? Just would like to read it myself for reference.
I'm taking another look at what else comes with the .ppd file. There appears to be a shell script you can run in the PARTS directory that acts as the install tool (not very well named if nothing else). Looks like it also expects you to have made the brcupsconf-whatever file that is in the third directory in the tar file. Unfortunately, I think it's expecting the printer to be hooked up via USB, could be wrong though.
I don't know if you've already configured this printer before or if it's out-of-the-box never-been-touched and you're trying to install it to work wirelessly. Duh alert: the first time you install/configure the printer you HAVE to do it via USB, at least that was my experience. I did it through Windows, however, and it readily acquired all the wireless network information it needed that way. I'm guessing if this is really a new printer that hasn't been configured before, and you can't configure its wireless any other way, that might be what you have to do.
Short version: I'd say reconsider the tar file where you got the ppd file from, check the other two directories. Also, you may have to have the printer hooked up via USB if it's the first time you're setting it up.

Mac OS 8.6 Cursor Frozen after print driver install and restart.

Installed Epson SC 980 Print driver on Mac OS 8.6. After install, I was prompted to restart the computer. Upon restart the window that contained the "Installer" button remains onscreen and the cursor is frozen. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Strange. Starting up with Extensions Off is supposed to prevent most extensions, including all 3rd-party software, and anything in the Startup Items folder from loading.
Can you tell if it is an app itself which is running? Or is it a window for a disk image or something similar?
You can also try resetting the PRAM while booting with Extension Off, just in case some non-valid instruction got set in PRAM (that should be a no-no for software, but mistakes do happen).
To do that, restart or boot. Immediately press the Command-Option-P-R keys, keep them held down until you've heard a total of three sets of startup chimes. Then release those keys and hold down Shift, keeping it held down until the desktop appears. If you have control over the machine then, you can do some hunting for the Epson software that's causing the issue and get rid of it.
Next level of user control to try is booting to a CD. If you have an OS Install CD, such as one for OS 8.6, which is valid for that machine, try booting the machine to the CD. This should render any software on the hard drive inert, and thus give you an opportunity to hunt the culprit down and remove it.
