Brother MFC-J6710DW Ubuntu 20.04/22.04
Infos
- By default Ubuntu autodetects the printer with a generic "driverless" driver. It does not support duplex printing.
- I then installed the drivers with the installation script below.
- I duplicated the printer in the settings. One with normal settings, one black'n'white, draft, duplex long edge
That doesn't work. No application is using these settings.
