## Introduction

This page gives a brief guidance on how to make the Brother MFC-J5910DW printer/scanner work on Arch. While it refers to the MFC-J5910DW specifically, it can be used for most Brother printers assuming the relevant packages can be found in AUR. For the scanner part, the 4 number at the end of brscan4 should be adapted according to the directions given on the relevant page of the Brother Solutions Center.

## Printer

### Prerequisites

- You must have the sudo package installed from the official repositories and be in the sudoers — to add your user in the sudoers, please refer to the sudo page.
- arch x86_64 requires lib32-libcups thus the [multilib] repository must be activated in /etc/pacman.conf

### Install the drivers

Install brother-mfc-j5910dwAUR from AUR. Then use the cups'web interface as described in the CUPS page to add the printer.

## Scanner

### Install the drivers

Install the brscan4AUR from AUR.

### Set up the scanner

Follow the directions given in the SANE page to setup the scanner.
