@pdewacht Any chance of this getting merged soonish and a new release tagged? This would greatly benefit the owners of a variety of printers (including me).

(Also @QORTEC this PR shows merge conflicts for some reason, perhaps a bad rebase?)

@qwertychouskie your correct; when I rebased I apparently accidentally "recommitted" f3de875 (which was already in pdewacht/brlaser) which seems to be source of the conflict.

I'll fix that later on when I have more time, though "functionally" it shouldn't matter, and that commit can be ignored when pulling the changes from my fork.

While its important to resolve this conflict, I consider it to be "low priority" since @pdewacht doesn't seam to have time to maintain brlaser at the moment and a quick resolution doesn't have a functional benefit. Package maintainers will probably ether use vanilla brlaser found here or a release on Owl-Maintain/brlaser with the patches already applied.

Currently package printer-driver-brlaser is installed in Ubuntu but also there is driver from Brother which should be more beneficial to Brother users who wants to print something as it seems as Rust is preferred language for @pdewacht now but also Brother for older printer seems not so interested for Linux(but other systems seems not so)...

What about transfer this repo to Brother organization or OpenPrinting and let help maintain them with not so overhead for currently Linux drivers with some support from Brother for fixing bugs? And maybe make OpenPrinting App which would somehow work with nowadays/3.0 CUPS and maybe make it more official with Brother. @michaelrsweet ?

But one huge problem(for Brother organization) could be that some printers also have scanners and Scanner application is not installed by default either(but SANE app installable) or possible with current CUPS(but planned) and Brother have builtin combined drivers(but maybe outdated)...

But if faulty installed package printer-driver-brlaser is problematic and not maintained, its disaster for some users.

@hifron I can't speak for the OpenPrinting organization, but I know for me that I don't have the time or resources (printers, documentation, etc.) to support such an effort directly. The best I can do is advise developers when they have questions, either for CUPS driver developer or migration to a printer application using PAPPL.

https://www.turboprint.info/ may be helpful if there is no interest and official drivers seems not suitable :)

Here is the output of my Brother 2310D witch is working. The only thing is I can only choose 600 or 1200dpi. For txt this is ok but for pictures I would also need 300dpi. With 600dpi the printed doen’t print pictures. Would be nice if this you’ll be implemented. Thanks a lot.

@Deepdive2
Your printer, Brother HL-L2310D series, is already in this pull request.
To enable 300DPI can you please confirm that it works?
You can use the HL-2270DW driver, it has both 300DIP and Duplex enabled.

Reckon it'd be worth making your own fork @QORTEC? There's a good few printers that could be supported...

Edit: Just noticed you have done - sorry!

A large portion of Linux distributions now package the Owl-Maintain fork for their repos instead, you can see list here.

Edit: Just noticed you have done - sorry!

Yeah, the fork is not really "visible".
I've had to rename the driver to Owl-Maintain/brlaser, since there is a large number of people who still come here to open Issues even though they're using the fork.

**Additional notes**:
Contrary to the other printers the duplex directive had to be set to
normal to get correct duplex printing to work.
