The Brother MFC-465CN is a network capable multi-function printer, first produced in 2007. Brother provides Linux printer and scanner drivers for all its machines, however these are not normally distributed with the usual series of Linux distribution printer driver packages (e.g hplip).

(from the multilibs repository). If not, the printer job queue appears to have been printed successfully, but the printer does nothing and the CUPS logs contain no definitive error messages. (You may need to uncomment the "Multilibs" line in your /etc/pacman.conf file to enable this repository).

== Run the "cupswrapper" script ==
+
−
As root run the script:
+
−
+
−
# /usr/local/brother/Printer/mfc465cn/cupswrapper/cupswrappermfc465cn
+
−
+
−
This script will stop the cups daemon if it's running, attempt to find and configure your printer, install the drivers and restart CUPS.
+
−
+
−
== Configure the Printer on the CUPS Server ==
+
−
Using your browser navigate to the [http://localhost:631/ CUPS server].
+
−
In the Administration category, choose Manage printers. There you should see a MFC-465CN printer automatically installed and configured. It is usually configured to use the USB port. If the printer is used as a network printer you need to modify the printer configuration. Select Brother MFC-465CN in the device list. Then run through these steps: Administration, Modify Printer, Other Network Printing, AppSocket/HP Direct, Connection: . Then enter your IP address, example:
+
−
+
−
socket://192.168.0.104:9100
+
−
+
−
Your IP address will be different - find it in the LAN configuration on the MFC printer menu. Click to print a test page. If no printing, double-check all packages and steps above have been completed properly, restart CUPS ( #systemctl restart org.cups.cupsd.service), restart the printer and ensure the printer's state is Idle, accepting jobs. If still no printing visit the CUPS wiki, Troubleshooting section
