Thanks in advance.https://download.brother.com/welcome/doc101074/cv_eng_login_password_insertion_a.pdf
I took a look inside the AUR build file of the model of my Brother printer (which in my desktop Ubuntu works flawlessly). It seems to download some i368 binary RPM from Brother's website. So no good luck with that, maybe QEMU userland emulation is possible :/
Normally, for a lot of AUR packages that say that they don't support aarch64, it's possible to edit the build file and add 'aarch64' and it would work fine. But only if it's built from source, though.
