Brother HL-L8260CDW

Help

I’ve been searching and trying different things, but I am having no luck getting my printer working in NixOS.

I know its possible, it works in other distros, but I’m having no luck at all with Nix.

I’m hoping someone can help.

It’s not the same printer, but here’s the relevant configuration I use to be able to recognise and print from a networked Brother HL-L3230CDW printer:

services= {
      printing.enable = true;
      avahi = {
        enable=true;
        nssmdns=true;
        openFirewall=true;
      };
    };

Maybe this will help?
