Hi @Batmanxx! To see what the actual error is, we need to look at the CUPS logs. The full instructions are found here in the [Arch Wiki - CUPS Troubleshooting - Debug Log](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CUPS/Troubleshooting#Debug_log). Reproducing those instructions here: 1. Open the cups configuration using the command `sudo nano /etc/cups/cupsd.conf` and edit the LogLevel as below: `LogLevel debug` _(Then save and exit the file)_ 2. Try running a print job. 3. View the logs using the following command: `tail -n 100 -f /var/log/cups/error_log`. 4. Paste the error messages here so that we can check Please let me know if you have any difficulty following these instructions ---

Welcome to RebornOS. Did you add your Brother printer automatically? In the RebornOS repository we have a compiled driver for your model (we made it at the request of another user, I don’t remember his name. The driver is brother-mfc-j430w. You can install it from the terminal, with: `sudo pacman -S brother-mfc-j430w` About this driver, a user comments the following: “To print from my system, I had to add the printer in CUPS as a ‘LPD/LPR Host or Printer’, and my connection is ‘lpd://PRINTER\_IP/BINARY\_P1’ substituting my printer’s ip address for PRINTER\_IP. Hope this helps someone else.” Try first without modifying anything, to see what happens. Remember that you can access the printer installation from your web browser. To do this, enter the following as the address: `localhost:631` I personally have no experience with Brother printers, but we try to help where possible. Greetings and take care! ---
