Brother DCP 1610W/ DCP 1612W
Posted: 23 Oct 2018, 14:51
I got tired of paying for ink on my old printers so I bought a Laser Printer.
Brother had a cheap one that looked good (price of three Ink cartridges
) so I bought it.
I found the drivers in AUR so it was no problem to find it and set it up in CUPS in my Manjaro.
BUT I could not scan and I could not find the drivers on the Brother site
So time to go berserk and install all of them to find out if some work with my printer/scanner.
Long story but short conclusion:
The one that works is brscan4 in AUR
You will find it with and it works just fine even if Brother DCP 1610W etc is not specified. 
Just fire up Xsane from your menu and start scanning
For deb and rpm distros the drivers should be easy to find and install...
