Well, my Samsung doesn't work reliably over wifi from Windows and Mac, so this issue is hardly limited to Brother and Arch.

- sgtnoodle 5y agoSpecifically, arch wasn't running any zero-conf services out of the box. CUPS would auto-detect the printer just fine, but then try to connect to it via an mDNS hostname, and the connection would fail. Once I figured that out and got mDNS working, it's been reliable. A lot of wifi problems are due to bad/flaky access point hardware. Notably, a lot of the internet recommended "good" consumer wifi gear actually sucks from a reliability point of view. It took me months to get my home setup reliable enough to take it for granted.
