Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    BTW, I've had my Brother laser MFP for 11 years and still on the original toner.

    My brother printer didn't have drivers for arch and it took me days, and the community to help me get it up and running.

    I used mine with the old, reliable "HP LaserJet 4200 PS" driver for the first year or two. I only installed the official drivers because I wanted the duplexing to work. lol

    With a laser printer, the HP LJ 4200 driver is pretty much universal (have only seem a very few cases where it didn't work)

    Put your model # in the search box on the AUR and you'll get the driver every time.

    Didn't work. Searched and searched, but no luck. Anyways, I got it now, so no need.
