DCP-1510 PPD not working on CUPS

[inobrevi]

Hi,

I trying to add DCP-1510 on Raspberry Pi with CUPS.

I can add it fine, but test print doesn't go through.

I get:

Idle - "File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/brother_lpdwrapper_DCP1510" not available: No such file or directory"

Any idea how to fix it?

Hi! It's very likely that /usr/lib/cups/filter/brother_lpdwrapper_DCP1510 is an x86 binary, so it wont work on arm out of the box.

Maybe you can try to modify the script line to run the binary on an x86 emulator… Or configure the system to run x86 binaries on qemu automatically…

I agree I learned about it meanwhile and few other stuff.

For now I will try just rewrite driver from scratch or find distro that tackles this problem already.

You may try this if you're running Debian or Ubuntu:

But adapted to 32-bit i386:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y qemu-user-static binfmt-support
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libc6:i386

Thank you for your help but I found a solution:

Different drivers and it works.
