SubjectDoes anyone know how to configure a Brother MFC-J5720DW with cups?
Message-ID<rajCV-5Gr-9@gated-at.bofh.it>
Hi all,

I read some good reviews about this network printer/scanner, and noticed 
that it can scan to email or FTP. So I made the flawed(?) assumption 
that the printer would work independently without a software suite / 
drivers from Brother.

I tried to install it with the kde "Print Settings" front-end to cups. 
"Print Settings" finds the printer and lists several interfaces - 
however, I am unable to print anything no matter what configuration 
(combination of network protocol / printer driver) I use.

I know that I can download a bash script from Brother.com and run it as 
root - and then the printer is supposed to work with Debian. However, 
I'm not comfortable doing that. Actually, I'll rather scrap the printer 
and get another one that support lpd/ps natively than risk compromising 
/ messing up my system.

So my question is really if anyone have experience with recent Brother 
network printers and know a cups configuration that works with one of 
the standard Debian/Linux drivers.

I'm using both Debian Testing and Debian Stable on different machines 
right now.

Best regards,

jgaa

I think you can safely extract the mfcj5720dwcupswrapper-3.0.1-
1.i386.deb file and extract the PPD and install it manually.

There's also a bash script in there (looks like it just installs the
ppd and restart cups) and a binary, not sure what that does.

You might have better luck installing and configuring the printer from
the web GUI.

Thanks for the reply.

The printer is configured and receives the print jobs from my PC. 
However, it prints nothing.

I am very skeptical to installing 3rd party deb packages from hardware 
vendors. I don't think they have quite the same focus on security that I 
have. Basically, if a network printer require proprietary drivers to 
work - then it is broken by design. I have used lpd + postscript for 
around 20 years, and it just works. It's fine if Brother want to embrace 
newer technologies and provide a better UX, but not providing a 
fall-back to open standards seems weird.

Anyway - I think this printer supports both pcl and postscript. So 
unless Brother deliberately is looking for a fingerprint or something in 
the payloads, it should be possible to trick it into printing my 
documents. Hopefully it's just a matter of understanding what the 
printer expects to receive in order to print.

One alternative is to install a dedicated VM with Debian and use it as a 
print server. However, since I use both laptops and PC's, it's not 
convenient.

I didn't suggest that. I suggested extracting the PPD and using that.

Actually, you will probably need the filter binaries too. You can
install them manually too, but you will be running non-free software. 

Some Brother printers are covered by foomatic-db, but your particular
model doesn't seem to be :(

Do you know why these printers require binary drivers? I am asking both 
technically and rationally.

I mean, by requiring this, Brother is exposing themselves for a 
maintenance nightmare as the divers needs to be kept up to date with all 
the supported Linux distributions, Windows versions and OS/X versions.

(I have not kept up with the printer technology in recent years. A 
friend and I wrote a word processor for QNX and Unix back in the early 
ninetieths. At that time we supported PCL and Postscript natively. So I 
did know this technology fairly well a long time ago).

I think
1. probably license agreements between manufacturer and supplier (of
microchips etc) that prevent revealing information about hardware parts
2. profit - cheep hardware sold for profit to much higher price - you do not
want to reveal how you make this cheep hardware work. Most of the companies
provide some part in closed fashion (firmware etc) and cover the heart of
the technology they develop.
3. It is more confident the manufacturer provides the software than the
community reverse engineer the same. We should appreciate companies that
(still) support linux OS.

BTW I'm using Epson scanner with it's iscan tool since wheezy. It works just
great - no need to update since first installation.

Of course if you require high level of security you can not trust such
binaries, but if you are at this level of security I do not think you will
be working at the computer that much or at least use such kind of hardware.
In such case it is best to use analog equipment or PC in closed network.
You still have choice(s).

4. Better control (by the manufacturer) of "planned obsolescence". If the
community controls the driver, they can tweak it to cope with changing
protocols/requirements/whatever instead of having the user throw away
the gadget and buy a new one.

No, Free Software is not *just* about of security. It offers more security
as one of its (many) collateral benefits.

Many years ago, when I was CTO (function, not title) at a small company, 
the developers had two PC's, one connected to the Internet, and one 
connected only to an internal development network. Binaries was burned 
to CD and then given to customers, or copied to our web servers. 
Eventually it became too hard to keep the development on a closed 
system. More and more of the development tools expected an Internet 
connection. At that time we made most of the revenue making software 
that ran on Windows.

Today I miss the feeling of security I had back then. It would be very, 
very hard for an adversary to penetrate the closed network and 
compromise the software we delivered. I assume that a determined 
adversary can penetrate my current defenses relatively easy. There are 
so many layers of potential vulnerable firmware and software between the 
network plug and my file systems and system memory that any other 
assumptions would be rather naive. Still, I try to defend my code, my 
privacy and my intellectual property as good as I can. Not running 
java-script outside disposable virtual machines is one line of defense. 
Not running alien shell scripts or drivers from untrusted sources is 
another. It does not make my system safe - but it makes it less likely 
at least to be penetrated by the most clueless script-kiddies or 
automated bots.

And frankly, it makes no sense to me that printers require special 
drivers in order to work. The transport protocols are standardized. The 
page description protocols are standardized (or at least well known). 
Using proprietary transport or page description protocols seems just 
like a waste of development resources and support resources. It's very 
hard to make good, optimal implementations of anything slightly complex 
(it's just weeks ago another dns bug was found in glibc!). Therefore it 
should be best for everyone to refine common code to do such things as 
safe and efficient as possible. Not reinventing wheels and doing the 
same stupid mistakes over and over again. I really don't understand what 
the printer industry (this is not only a problem with Brother) is doing. 
May be it boils down to something as simple as the egos at incompetent 
product managers.

This is true, but the internal machinery must be driven somehow - this is
not covered by anything standardized.

Well, I also do not understand capitalist way of thinking perfectly well.
While no one is supposed to reinvent the wheel, industry etc works in
secrecy and does not share - thus one is supposed to reinvent the wheel at
the end or share profit (patent rights).
One mentioned obsolescence before. I think the profit driven corporations
are acting nowdays as psychopats.

The printing would work without proprietary software as you pointed out -
that protocol is standard but if you check the specs of the device, you
would find out that it is All-in-one unit - scanner + printer + wireless
print server. All this needs a software - I highlight 2 points from the
specs

- Wireless Mobile Device Printing
- Web Connect Scan to popular cloud services including Google Drive™,
DropboxWeb Connect Scan to popular cloud services including Google Drive™,
Dropbox, Evernote® and Evernote Business® , Microsoft OneNote® and more,
Evernote® and Evernote Business® , Microsoft OneNote® and more

http://www.brother-usa.com/MultiFunction/ModelDetail/4/mfcj5720dw/Overview#.Vt8TanYiQR9

So if you want to just print - buy just printing device and do not moan
about proprietary drivers. 

I personally prefer HP business class laser printers - you could opt in
wireless or whatever features - ex:
http://store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/business-solutions/hp-laserjet-p2035-printer-ce461a-aba

Epson products are also on my table, however people save 100$ to complain
later and drop the product in 5 years. I've been using Epson needle printer
since 1996 and HP LJ 5L since 2001. I hope I can use them another 5-10y.

Theoretically, a Generic PCL or PostScript PPD could be used with this
printer. You'd lose its specific printer options of course.

The MFC-J5720DW supports AirPrint. Depending on which applications you
print from you do not require cupsd on the PC, so you could dispense
with a PPD and driver.

This is the usual dangerous strawman which leads, at the end, to do
nothing: "as long as there's something bad happening at X, why would
you care about Y".

Your harddisk has "closed source" firmware. Heck, your CPU, if any newer,
has "closed source" firmware (Intel IME, AMD has something similarly
horrible). Why are you using Debian GNU Linux in the first place?

For me, there's an answer to that, and it is that conquer happens
gradually, sometimes by reverse engineering, sometimes by persuasion.
Watch at the evolution of Qualcomm's stance in the wake of Raspberry
Pi's success for a beautiful example of the second.

As life is, there's no "total victory", but if you do nothing, you
lose.

I asked a question, one which may give pause for thought and give focus
and direction to what is presumably the chief objective - printing with
a Brother MFC printer. No argument (strawman or otherwise) was given; no
view advanced. No Brother bashing. :)

A pragmatist would take the Brother lpr driver option. Together with the
PPD it offers all the functionality the printer is capable of. As a
matter of interest, the lpr driver is legally distributable by Debian.

Relying on a Generic PPD could lead to satisfactory printing. I'd try it
with a USB connection first. Thinking on, it is possible to adjust the
Brother PPD to not use the lpr driver. This would give a free printing
system on the PC.

The AirPrint facility can also be used to avoid any concerns with
security on the PC.

The printer display says that it is receiving data. Then nothing 
happens. So the comm-link is OK.

FWIW, I stick to printers whose drivers are right there in Debian.
That saves me work and that lets me put my money where mouth is.

I had a Brother MFC around 6 years ago and remember having difficulty 
setting it up.  In the end, if I remember correctly, the issue was 
that the printer would only print from a queue with a specific name. 
It may have been " _binary ", or something.

I found that out on some web site or other, and might have been 
Brother's own support site for its Linux driver.  I am sorry I have no 
more-specific details.

I could understand that Brother might keep using the same codebase for 
its Linux support of each new printer, perhaps just tweaking some or 
other details and, if the case, then the issue about Brother printers 
requiring some specific queue name might still exist.

Have you seen anything about this?

I've been using Brother printers, laser versions, for several years now, 
and as long as I use the name I gave it in the cups configs, they Just 
Work(TM).  They are, or cups is, case sensitive.  The color laser has 
both usb, cat5, and wireless capability.  Wireless is disabled foir 
security reasons, but the other two interfaces are interchangeable by 
changing the printers "cups name" as cups thinks its 2 printers, one 
with a usb interace and one with a cat5, addressed on my local home 
coyote.den network.  The network interface is noticeably faster than the 
USB as its a USB2.0 max data rate.
