# Brother DCP-7030

From ArchWiki

# Introduction

This is a brief tutorial how to setup the Brother DCP-7030 (multi function laser copier printer) on i686 Arch.

# Printer

## CUPS

Install CUPS (see CUPS page).

## Usblp

It may be necessary to blacklist Usblp module to get AUR driver working. To do that, you may add "!usblp" at the end of your rc.conf MODULES list.

## Drivers

### Original

There is the brother-dcp7030 in AUR. It contains driver from Brother.

Install drivers:

    % yaourt -S brother-dcp7030

Run

    # /usr/local/Brother/cupswrapper/cupswrapperDCP7030-2.0.2

Now go to the CUPS page: http://localhost:631/

Under the Printers tab you should see a DCP7030 printer automatically installed and configured.

### Using PPD from hl1250

Unfortunately original driver did not work with DCP-7030 on my PC.

I got this PPD. I replaced all `DCP-7020` by `DCP-7030`. After this I add a new printer manually using this PPD.

## Udev

It may be nesessary to add a rule to your udev:

    # nano /etc/udev/rules.d/10-usbprinter.rules

    ATTR{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTR{idProduct}=="01ea", MODE:="0664", GROUP:="lp", ENV{libsane_matched}:="yes"

## Installation

Go to http://localhost:631 page in your browser and install printer. All settings there is very simple, the main thing you must check - paper size set to "A4".

# Scanner

## SANE

Install SANE:

    # pacman -S sane

Add your user to `scanner` group:

    # gpasswd -a username scanner

Note: You need to logout/login for this to take effect.

## Drivers

There is the brscan3 in AUR.

Install drivers:

    % yaourt -S brscan3

After installing add line `brother3` in the `/etc/sane.d/dll.conf`.

Now you can try to see if SANE recognizes your scanner

    $ scanimage -L

For more info see SANE page.

If your scanning software can't 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

# Troubleshooting

If you can print a test page from http://localhost:631, but can't print anything from LibreOffice, try to install a2ps.
