Brother MFC-JW4330DW Printer Setup Linux

Setting up my Brother MFC-J5330DW Network Printer on Ubuntu.

Tested and works on: Ubuntu, VERSION="22.04.1 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)"

Steps​

Add Network Printer​

Bring up your printer menu (I use start and type "printer" Gnome shell).

Add a printer

add printer

Type your printers IP address in the box and then select your printer.

ip addy printer

I'm going for the whole MFC-J5330DW multi-function device.

Brother Printer Driver​

Go to the Brother website, Downloads page.

download driver

Select Linux, (for me) Linux (deb), and OK (or just go here for the shortcut to download).

Instructions for driver install​

# unzip script
~/Downloads ❯ gunzip linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1.gz

# make script executable
chmod +x linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1

# run as root
~/Downloads ❯ sudo ./linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1
Input model name ->MFC-J5330DW                             
                                                           
You are going to install following packages.               
   mfcj5330dwlpr-1.0.1-0.i386.deb                          
   mfcj5330dwcupswrapper-1.0.1-0.i386.deb                  
   brscan4-0.4.11-1.amd64.deb                              
   brscan-skey-0.3.1-2.amd64.deb
OK? [y/N] ->y

Conclusion​

If it's all setup properly, the end of the script will print a test page, so if you see that, you're done.
