Installation
This section describes the steps required to successfully install and configure your MFP.
- Install printer driver brother-dcp7030 and scanner driver brscan3 from Arch User Repository
- Blacklist
usblp
module in order to do printer visible in web-interface - Add rule to udev:
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-usbprinter.rules
ATTR{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTR{idProduct}=="01ea", MODE:="0664", GROUP:="lp", ENV{libsane_matched}:="yes"
- Install cups package for printing and sane package for scanning from official repositories
- Install GUI for scanning if necessary
- Enable service
org.cups.cupsd.service
or socketorg.cups.cupsd.socket
- Reboot your system. After that scanner should work
- Go to http://localhost:631 and setup your printer. All settings there is very simple, the main thing you must check - paper size set to "A4"
Troubleshooting
Software cannot use the scanner
If your scanning software cannot use the scanner even with correct scanimage, check your printer usb location with:
$ lsusb
and give writing permission for that device to all users. For example, for:
Bus 008 Device 004: ID 04f9:01ea Brother Industries, Ltd DCP-7030
use:
# sudo chmod a+w /dev/bus/usb/002/004
I cannot print anything from LibreOffice
If you can print a test page from http://localhost:631, but can't print anything from LibreOffice, try to install a2ps.
