Jan 16, 2019 - Brother HL-2270DW drivers in Windows 10 and questions. Having the 'official' drivers only really matters if you have a printer with lots of.
I can't get my Brother HL 2270 DW printer to work wirelessly in 18.04, from a clean install on a Dell XPS 13 9360. I've tried for hours, days, using all the methods I can find in various forums, including going through CUPS, installing the Brother drivers via the terminal. Even worse, I don't know what IPP means, or DHCP, or PPD, or CUPS.
It's pretty excruciating, as I increasingly find Linux to be, after having children and not having anymore the spare hours to find solutions for simple things. (Apologies for expressing frustration!). I reset the network on the printer, can print via USB connection, but even when I get the printer to appear in my DHCP client list (via TPLink router), I can't ping it from my PC. Any advice for an ignoramus?

1) Using Ubuntu GNOME; 2) Downloaded from Brother's website 'linux-brprinter-installer-2.1.1-1', then tried 'hl2270dwlpr-2.1.0-1.i386.deb' and 'cupswrapperHL2270DW-2.0.4-2.i386.deb'; 3) installed the first in the list above using bash in terminal 4) I used the WPS feature on the router and printer, after which the printer showed up as a DHCP client in my router admin tool (it no longer does, though), and I was able to add the printer through the wizard in settingsdevicesprinters. Never was able to actually print wirelessly, though.

If you can print via usb; that would suggest the brother drivers are installed; if you go to the PRINTERS folder; click the ADD button; pause; (with the usb cable disconnected); does the system 'find' your 2270? to run the brother installer tool, get it from here and click to download and SAVE what will be linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.0-1.gz open a terminal; copy each commmand; paste it into the terminal; hit the ENTER key to make it happen; cd Downloads gunzip linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.0-1.gz sudo bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.0-1 HL-2270DW it will show a list as it works; and ask you which uri you want; it is usually what is shown in number 10.
OK, I followed the steps, still can't ping the printer or print, even though the printer seems to get installed (shows up in the printers tool). I tried a couple times, uninstalling the printer first before each attempt. The option referred to as number 10 in the uri step was different (once it was specify an ip address, once it was a printer identification string with dnssd). Sorry I can't be more specific, but I don't understand these things. Probably should not be using Linux, but it's been 6 years now! – Aug 25 '18 at 4:43.
