Pro tip: If you have a Brother laser printer and it's not working on Linux over a network to print but scanning works, you may need to switch it from IPP over the IPP protocol to IPP over the DNSSD protocol.

Edit: I installed drivers from the Brother website. Can you believe it? Much better results. The printer was functional before, but much better quality now.

#cups help please.

My printer insists on printing at 300dpi, and I know it's capable of higher.

I don't see any UI choice to change this (PopOS, KDE Plasma). I do see 300 listed in the PPD files. If I change (say) the DefaultResolution line from 300 to 600 and restart cups, it appears to regenerate the file clobbering my changes.

How do I force this to print at a higher resolution?

It's not as fancy as AI but you know what blows my mind? Turning on my wireless printer and getting a notification the unit was configured while I figure where the print manager is on my newly installed Linux Mint system.

I am looking into color laser printers. Recommendations and tips welcome!

Requirements are:
- A3 capable
- Linux compatibility (at least the important features)
- price < 1 500 EUR

Does anyone have experience with OKI printers (e.g. C844) ?

#LinuxPrinting I have an Epson L3151 connected to an ubuntu box and a debian box can print from network. So for some months i am happy. But my big fear is that printers fail easily and are not fixable.. #ifixit should make repairability scores for printers.. #LinuxHardware
