Just bought a Raspberry Pi400 and updated the OS to the new Dec 2020 release. I am trying to get it to talk to my Brother DCP1612W mono laser printer. I have installed the correct Linux driver from the Brother website. If I access the printer via its web address (192.168 etc) all the info is there and I can actually print out the tech data including Printer Serial Number & settings from that interface, so my PI is ‘seeing’ the printer & sending it commands. . However, I cannot print in ‘Ordinary’ use., e.g. from Libre Office. When I press @print’, nothing happens. Not sure which settings/configuration steps I need to take? Any help appreciated. ---

I’ve never actually used/installed a printer from a Pi, so can’t help much, but this blog post from the Pi Foundation might be useful: > **[Printing at home from your Raspberry Pi - Raspberry Pi](https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/printing-at-home-from-your-raspberry-pi/)** > > A step-by-step guide to setting up printing from your Raspberry Pi. For instance, it points out that most Linux drivers that manufacturers offer are built for x86, not ARM, and it looks like you need to setup CUPS. Good luck!
