Brother HL-3170CDW Linux
Like other Brother printers we’ve used, the HL-3170CDW works great from Linux. With Ubuntu, the Gutenprint USB driver automatically came up and worked fine. The OEM driver below is optional.
Download
linux-brprinter-installer script
from “Driver Install Tool”.
Plug in HL-3170 via USB. Don’t skip the mkdir step or the installer will hang!
mkdir -p /var/spool/lpd/hl3170cdw
chmod +x linux-brprinter-installer*
./linux-brprinter-installer*“Input model name ->” HL-3170CDW
