For the 2270DW, I also have a /printme.duplex directory.I found these instructions for a different Brother model and I amended them to suit the HL 2240.

(Optional) Set up an scp print server, so any file you copy to a /printme directory gets printed.

cat | PRINTER=HL-2270DW lp -o media=letter -o sides=two-sided-short-edge (Make sure duplex works if you plan to use that).

cat | PRINTER=HL-2270DW lp -o media=letter (Print an actual test page to test alignment, etc).

echo "Hello World" | PRINTER=HL-2270DW lp -o media=letter (Make sure anything prints).

Test the printer (I’m in the USA so we use ‘letter’ size paper, you can substitute whichever paper you have such as ‘a4’).

Sudo lpoptions -p HL-2270DW -o media=letter

(Optional) Set the printer as the default destination.

Enable the printer (did not work for me).

Note, -p HL-2270DW is just the name I’m using for the printer, feel free to name the printer whatever you like. If you’re following this in the hopes that it will work on another printer, run sudo lpinfo -m | grep HL-2270DW to get the PPD file for your printer. It will be something like usb://Brother/HL-2270DW%20series?serial=D4N207646

Run sudo lpinfo -v | grep usb to get the device name of your printer.

(author’s shameful note: if you’re not looking, I find it surprisingly easy to plug USB B into the ethernet jack)

Plug in the printer, verify that it shows up using sudo lsusb or sudo dmesg.

brlaser 6, follow full steps below: DCP-L2520D series, DCP-L2520DW series, DCP-L2540DW series (unclear, may only need 4), HL-2030 series, HL-2140 series, HL-2220 series, HL-2270DW series, HL-5030 seriesĪlso, all these steps are command-line based, and you can do the whole setup headless (no monitor or keyboard) using SSH.The brother-provided driver does not run on arm processors like the raspberry pi, so we will instead use the open-source brlaser.Įdit: This setup should also work on the following Brother monochrome printers, just substitute the name where needed: Although the below directions work on Raspberry Pi, they should also work on any other system.
