Re: brother printer installation


 

The 386 in the package name's hll2370dwpdrv-4.0.0-1.i386.dev indicates that this is meant for an i386, i.e. 32-bit Intel architecture. The Pi's Arm CPU won't be able to do anything with that.

Thanks for letting me be a member of this group!? My interesting problem is I am trying to install my Brother HL-L2370DW printer on my pi.
Actually 2 of them, a 3B+ and 4B. I can successfully download the .deb file, but when I try to install it, I get a error message that says one of the packages couldn't be installed. The name of the main package is hll2370dwpdrv-4.0.0-1.i386.dev.? For some reason it bombs.? I also tried installing via cups and localhost:631. After following the on-screen instructions, Then when I try a test-print, it can't locate the network printer. My internet is distributed via home-made Ethernet, all the computers use the Ethernet.? I suppose I can try using a USB connection from the pi directly to the printer, I just don't know. Any thoughts?
