The journey of sharing a wired USB printer over the network
I tried the packer-builder-arm first, but it couldn't run my Ansible playbook due to a bug. I applied a patch but quickly ran into other issues.

Sometimes printing is completed without printing
I use a different Brother, but had a similar problem, larger documents wouldn't print or would cutoff. The official br-laser project has not made a release in over 4 years. Meanwhile, there is at least one unreleased patch in the master branch that fixes problems like these. I ended up switching to a fork that is being updated, including the fix(es).

How to change the region on an HP OfficeJet printer in 57 easy steps
I have the wired version of this - and it has been fine too. The one issue with the wired version is that there are no good Linux drivers, brlaser [0] kind of works - but fails with certain documents.

Surprised by the support from HP for its printers on Linux
The only thing that worked for my brother laser on a raspberry pi was an unmaintained driver though.

REALLY struggling to get my printer to work. Been trying to fix it for forever.
I use: https://github.com/pdewacht/brlaser. Works way better than the "official" Brother print drivers. Also, don't forget to install Ghostscript

Today I learned that the Free Software Movement was ignited by a jammed Xerox laser printer
I have no idea, the drivers for mine only come in 32-bit variety and only as deb or rpm, i haven't bothered with them. Brlaser works okay though.
- How the hell do I build this from source in fedora???
- I have just purchased a Brother HL-1112 printer. I see there is an aur packaged but it hasn't been updated for 5 years. Should I use that or build a new one?

Review: HP's smallest laser printer – M140w and Linux set up
I bought a Brother HL-L2320D which at the time was the cheapest mono laser with duplexing I could find. On Windows and macOS it's fantastically uneventful, unfortunately on Linux the situation is less great. brlaser [0] does mostly work, but it seems there is a bug as some more complex documents (typically scans) won't print [1]. I ended up patching my version to reduce the size of one of the buffers [2], and haven't seen it fail since, but I doubt I've actually fixed the issue and instead just moved the threshold.
