Creating a raw printer queue in CUPS (host) and adding them through CUPS (client)

Question

I want to make my RasPi act as a little print and file server in a small home network consisting of three Linux clients. Unfortunately, Brother provides only binary drivers

Answer 1

I know it is a bit outdated, but I tried the same thing and ran into a problem: What is said above is correct, but I found out that the HL-2030 did not work in my setup with the Gutenprint driver. I needed to install the foomatic drivers

sudo apt-get install foomatic-filters foomatic-db-engine

Then choose the

Brother HL-2030 Foomatic/hl1250 (recommended)

from the list of printers in the web interface. And everything worked fine.
