#Brother hl 2140 printer setup install#
You simply unpack the unit, remove packing materials, install the toner cartridge, connect cables, and install the included software. In fact, given the low price of the unit, it could conceivably be used along with a color inkjet model for the best text quality, while using the inkjet for the best color quality. It offers incredible print quality at an extremely affordable price, especially if you find it on sale. Users looking for an inexpensive model, and don't need color will find a lot to like in the Brother HL-2140 laser printer. For faster print speeds, the Brother Hl-5240 toner printer would be more appropriate. Its capacities might be limiting for higher-volume users. It offers excellent quality for the price in a compact design. For the 2270DW, I also have a /printme.duplex directory.The Brother HL-2140 laser printer is designed for the personal or home office user.
(Optional) Set up an scp print server, so any file you copy to a /printme directory gets printed.cat | PRINTER=HL-2270DW lp -o media=letter -o sides=two-sided-short-edge (Make sure duplex works if you plan to use that).cat | PRINTER=HL-2270DW lp -o media=letter (Print an actual test page to test alignment, etc).echo "Hello World" | PRINTER=HL-2270DW lp -o media=letter (Make sure anything prints).Test the printer (I’m in the USA so we use ‘letter’ size paper, you can substitute whichever paper you have such as ‘a4’).Sudo lpoptions -p HL-2270DW -o media=letter (Optional) Set any default options you want for the printer.(Optional) Set the printer as the default destination.Enable the printer (did not work for me).Note, -p HL-2270DW is just the name I’m using for the printer, feel free to name the printer whatever you like. If you’re following this in the hopes that it will work on another printer, run sudo lpinfo -m | grep HL-2270DW to get the PPD file for your printer. It will be something like usb://Brother/HL-2270DW%20series?serial=D4N207646 Run sudo lpinfo -v | grep usb to get the device name of your printer.(author’s shameful note: if you’re not looking, I find it surprisingly easy to plug USB B into the ethernet jack) Plug in the printer, verify that it shows up using sudo lsusb or sudo dmesg.
