FAQs & Troubleshooting |
Can I use my Brother printer with a 64 bit Linux distribution? (Linux)
You can use the 32 bit version of a Brother printer driver with 64 bit Linux distributions. To install the driver:
For RPM-based distributions
-
If your distribution does not have a 32 bit library as standard, install it.
For Fedora 10 to Fedora 32 users:
yum install glibc.i686
For Fedora 33 or later users:
dnf clean packages
dnf upgrade
dnf install libstdc++.i686
dnf install perl-File-Copy
nss-softokn-freebl.i686 is a dependency and is also required.
- Install the LPD/LPRng driver and the CUPS driver.
- If the /usr/lib64 directory exists, check whether the "br (printer name) filter" file exists under /usr/lib64/cups/filter. If not, copy it from the /usr/lib/cups/filter directory.
- Set up the printer using "http://localhost:631/printers".
For DEB-based distributions
- If your distribution does not have a 32 bit library as standard, install it. (For example, install lib32stdc++6 or libc6-i386 for Debian, lib32stdc++6, ia32-libs or lib32z1 for Ubuntu.)
- Install the LPD/LPRng driver and the CUPS driver using the --force-architecture option.
- If the /usr/lib64 directory exists, check whether the "br (printer name) filter" file exists under /usr/lib64/cups/filter. If not, copy it from the /usr/lib/cups/filter directory.
- Set up the printer using "http://localhost:631/printers".
