Hi,
On a F33 fresh install I only had to to this as root:
dnf update (important; needed so that last step works properly)
dnf install gcc-c++ cmake cups-devel
git clone
https://github.com/pdewacht/brlaser
cd brlaser
cmake .
make
make install
dnf history undo last (as I no longer need the stuff needed to build;
SSDs are expensive!)
Then I plugged the USB cable and printer was configured automatically
(and working perfectly).
Hope that helps.
It has helped me. I had replied to this thread to note what worked for my DCP-L2550DW.
Today I decided to test that for my VirtualBox F33 install. Well well, just as stated it
acts like it prints and nothing happens. Selinux and Firewall did not report an issue.
So I removed the Brother rpms with `dnf erase` and then used the above.
The difference was that I did not plug in the USB, I finished up (on my Xfce4 vbox) with:
Menu / Administration / Printer Settings
Unlock
Add
Network Printer / Saw the Brother there
Used recommended from there on
This did work, the F33 VirtualBox host is printing just fine now.
Thanks much for letting me know that my printer was likely to have trouble after the F33
upgrade and for how to fix it.
