BTW, I’ve had my Brother laser MFP for 11 years and still on the original toner.

    My brother printer didn’t have drivers for arch and it took me days, and the community to help me get it up and running.

      I used mine with the old, reliable “HP LaserJet 4200 PS” driver for the first year or two. I only installed the official drivers because I wanted the duplexing to work. lol

      With a laser printer, the HP LJ 4200 driver is pretty much universal (have only seem a very few cases where it didn’t work)

      Put your model # in the search box on the AUR and you’ll get the driver every time.

        Didn’t work. Searched and searched, but no luck. Anyways, I got it now, so no need.
