missing Brother DCP-J715W

[zz64]

Hi,
there is a chance to add this model Brother DCP-J715W ?
https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx?c=fr&lang=fr&prod=dcpj715w_eu_as
Found: dcpj715w_cupswrapper_GPL_source_1.1.3-1.tar.gz

Thanks.

Hello @zz64 ,

thanks for your input. As I don't own this model I won't be able to test it. It's best if you create the ebuild. I'll be happy to help you in creating it.

I suggest you take the binary packages

• https://download.brother.com/welcome/dlf005606/dcpj715wlpr-1.1.3-1.i386.rpm
• https://download.brother.com/welcome/dlf005608/dcpj715wcupswrapper-1.1.3-1.i386.rpm

and this ebuild as template:
net-print/brother-dcp9022cdw-bin/brother-dcp9022cdw-bin-1.1.3.ebuild

If you are more ambitous you can also look into this ebuild, which is partially build from source:
net-print/brother-dcpj4120dw-bin/brother-dcpj4120dw-bin-3.0.1-r1.ebuild

i have no idea how to make gentoo .ebuild with this modification :
i can provide archive folder with script to make symbolic link to /usr... cups ppd and others.

[stefan-langenmaier]

Sorry for my late response. In case you are still interested you can test the new ebuild and compare it with your directory structure.

I used the rpm file to stay consistent with the other ebuild.
