Need software drivers for both Epson WF7410 and Brother HL-5370

English Applications
#1

I have a computer I’m running Opensuse 15.1 on. I have two printers connected to it - a Brother HL-5370 and an Epson WF-7410. When I ran older opensuse (13.1) I was able to find rpms I could download and install with YAST. This doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. Can anyone tell me where I can find rpms for printer drivers?

Thanks in advance

“Epson WF-7410” - maybe mistake in a name?

Thanks for sending me these links. Unfortunately I’m still not printing. After a lot of work, I managed to get the driver install tool to download try to install the printer drivers.

First, it won’t let me use YAST. It makes me go to a terminal window. Here’s what happens next

linux-386v:/home/rsmits/Downloads # bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.2-1 HL-5370DW

You are going to install following packages.
hl5370dwlpr-2.0.3-1.i386.rpm
cupswrapperHL5370DW-2.0.4-1.i386.rpm

It doesn’t print at all It looks like it can’t find the usb connection. Can anyone walk me through what mistake I’m making here?

Sorry, I appear to have posted this in applications instead of hardware.

#6

First, the package name you’re trying to install is incorrect. Use YaST Software Manager, search for libusb, most likely it’s libusb-1_0

This action would only install the drivers, you would still have to setup the printers in YaST - Hardware - Printer

#7

A simple way to install this drivers with Yast is:

Make a directory as User in your /home:

mkdir ~/rpmdownloads

goto Yast—Software-Repositories-----add—lokal directory------next----- give it a Name say f.e. rpmdownloads ------path is the directory you have made with the mkdir command----next----ok

Now download all rpms you need and save them in your /home/USERNAME/rpmdownloads directory.

Goto Yast—Software and search for the packages and install them.

If you get an Problem with the brother drivers, they are mostly 32bit and you have to install the packages with 32bit in the name:

#8

Its libusb-0.1-4-32bit who is missing.

#9

Yes, many older Brother drivers require 32-bit support. (If you install the printer driver package with zypper, the dependencies will be taken care of.)
