Thanks. This is useful info.
Brother's site says my printer does support AirPrint. And through the printer's internal web server, I can see under Network -> Protocol that AirPrint is there and enabled.
I have the binary blob driver installed, so I guess this explains why two entries appear for this printer under Printer settings in Ubuntu.
So, a minor mystery is solved, and I now see that I have the option of removing this driver.
- floatingatoll 6y agoAh! Yay!
- dn3500 6y agoI just last week got a new Brother printer and went through the process of installing the proprietary driver, which for some reason requires the 32 bit version of libc. I had ignored the "Airprint" option because I assumed it had something to do with wireless printing. Apparently it did originally, but now it has more to do with driverless printing. So yes, thank you.
