Help with bypassing Arch check in Pamac
#2
Err--No
Yes you can force the install, it likely won't work unless you, by luck, pick the right settings
ppd's are stored in /etc/cups/ppd
this is about line 10,,, *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 brother_lpdwrapper_mfcj825dw"
The bit after the "0" is a "filter driver", it is a x86 binary and of course will not work on arm
What you want is "driverless" or ipp_everywhere" which are almost identical
These talk to a printer ON THE NETWORK and use a driver INSIDE the printer
You can do it over usb, but you have to set up a network driver for it, a little difficult
(note,, if printer has no network capabilities it probably does not have driverless in its rom)
a line from a driverless printer's ppd.... NickName: "Brother MFC-J6510DW, driverless, cups-filters 1.27.5"

Install cups, go to localhost:631 (in browser) , login as root, add printer (best over ipp)
do NOT pick a specific printer model, pick driverless or ipp_everywhere
Sometimes you have to do it 2 or 3 times before you get it right, if the test page is ok then it is right
Delete the ones not working
---another edit,
you have to set up the printer to be connected to your network for this to work,
from the printers' menus or cups won't find it (unless it is ethernet which connects more or less automatically if you tell printer to use it)
