Hello, I have purchased a Brother HL-L2350DW printer and I would like to know if there is a ppd for its operation, because I can’t find the model on the openprinting.org website.
Thanks
Here are drivers:
https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadlist.aspx?c=de&lang=de&prod=hll2350dw_us_eu_as&os=127&flang=English
But that is a 32bit driver, you have to install:
glibc-32bit
libusb-0_1-4-32bit
libusb-1_0-0-32bit
The libusb libs only if available, I am here on a Leap system.

I too purchased one. Some years ago I installed Brother’s rpm:
erlangen:~ # zypper se -is hll2350dwpdrv

---+---------------+---------+---------+------+------------------
i+ | hll2350dwpdrv | package | 4.0.0-1 | i386 | (System Packages)
erlangen:~ #
Later I learned about driverless printing and installed their ppd:
erlangen:~ # ll /etc/cups/ppd/*ppd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10187 Sep 18 07:27 /etc/cups/ppd/Brother_HL-L2350DW_series.ppd

Older models definitely need the 32bit routines. My HL-L2350DW is fine without them.
I do not think so, post:
zypper se -si glibc-32
Thank you for your help. Did you make that ppd yourself or can you download it from somewhere?
See my first Post…

Infamous host erlangen has it installed, but it isn’t needed. I remember running zypper remove --clean-deps '*32bit' which removed all 32bit packages, but didn’t affect printing with the HL-L2350DW. Some 32bit packages got reinstalled by other software.
erlangen’s sibling 6700k doesn’t have it but prints readily. I used yast2 printer and installed the driverless option:
6700k:~ # ll /etc/cups/ppd/Brother_HL-L2350DW_series.ppd
-rw-r----- 1 root lp 10131 May 27 2023 /etc/cups/ppd/Brother_HL-L2350DW_series.ppd
6700k:~ #
6700k:~ # zypper se -is 32bit

Hi, I installed the rpm driver. When I run zypper, it opens a yast window and I get a message that the file is corrupted (I guess it’s because the rpm package is configured for redhat distributions), but I hit the ignore button and it installs the driver. The printer works fine on openSUSE, but only over cable, not wifi.
Regards
Close the Download Window and read the rest.

I never attached an USB cable to the HLL2350DW. I connected the printer to the power line and the WLAN (FRITZ!Box 7530 AX) and installed driverless printing using yast2 printer:
It sleeps for weeks and months. However whenever I submit a page it wakes up and readily prints.

Hi, To add the rpm driver from brother’s website zypper has used yast. What is not clear to me is how to make it possible to use the wifi connection to print. I will try to do it using cups or yast. Thank you very much to both of you for your help.
I used Wi-Fi Protected Setup - Wikipedia to add the printer to the LAN.
It is described in my last link from Brother.

Hello, I have tried, but I have no experience in networking. I can’t figure out what to fill in these sections of the cups. I feel so clumsy:sweat_smile:
You can also use Yast-----Hardware—Preinter----printing over Network------Connection Assistant
