This article describes the use of Brother DCP-7030 (multi function laser copier printer) on Archlinux.

## Installation

This section describes the steps required to successfully install and configure your MFP.

Tip: There is an instruction for both printing and scanning features. You should not install the appropriate packages if you do not need one of them

- 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 `cupsd.service` or socket `cups.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"
  Note: Look at CUPS#Configuring article for information about other methods

## 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

Note: The unit will print but not scan when plugged into some USB 3.0 ports. Use a USB 2.0 port for the printer or disable USB 3.0 by blacklisting the `xhci_hcd` module if necessary.

### 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.
