Brother DCP-572DW wrapper

Help

So this is slightly off-topic, but I’m hoping it can help you.

I have a Brother printer too, and it turns out that it supports “IPP Everywhere” which was completely new to me.

So this is the only config I use to get mine working:

hardware =
  let
    brother = "Brother_HL-3170CDW_NixOS";
    hostName = "printer.home.hoeg.com";
  in
  {
    printers = {
      ensureDefaultPrinter = brother;
      ensurePrinters = [
        {
          name = brother;
          deviceUri = "ipp://${hostName}/ipp";
          model = "everywhere";
          description = lib.replaceStrings [ "_" ] [ " " ] brother;
          location = "Study";
        }
      ];
    };
  };

No fiddling with strange wrappers or drivers - IPP Everywhere just works.
