I got a Brother HL-2170W wireless laser printer, and I know it works because I have it working quite well now under Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit on my laptop. I have numerous different computers in the house running various operating systems and have no intention of having any kind of 'print sharing' network unless I have to in order to make it work. I really just want each individual computer to be able to access the printer wirelessly on it's own.
Windows Vista 64 Laptop is finished; now I am tackling the desktop running openSuSE 10.3 64-bit, and I am trying to install the printer through CUPS, but the printer driver for the HL-2170W is not listed under the available drivers in the list. There is an available CUPS driver for my exact printer but the only place I can download it is from the Brother website and only in.dmg format intended for Mac OS X. I tried the usual techniques like downloading the driver in.dmg format on a Windows computer and using dmg2iso to access it as a.iso image and get the driver out so I can put it on my linux desktop, but dmg2iso does not recognize the.dmg driver file as a valid disc image, and neither does magiciso, which is also supposed to work on.dmg files, so I don't know if it's some special type of.dmg file or what, but nothing wants to open it so that I can extract the CUPS driver and use it on my Linux desktop. I also tried mounting the.dmg image on my linux desktop as an HFS+ filesystem, but the mount utility thought there was something not right about the.dmg image too and refused to mount it. The Mac OS X CUPS driver is downloadable from Brother at the following URL: Also, when I try to figure out CUPS, it asks me my printing protocol, so I select IPP since the printers instructions say it supports IPP, and then it asks me for the device URI, but I don't know how I find out what the device URI is. Examples cups gives of valid IPP URIs are ipp://hostname/ipp/ and ipp://hostname/ipp/port1 I don't know what that even means. Then CUPS goes on to ask me to either select the printer from the list in which the printer is not listed or else provide a PPD file which is of course stuck in an unopenable.dmg file, so I'm not really sure what to do.
I really don't care about security or whether or not the neighbour tries to hack into it while I'm napping, or any of that paranoid stuff; I just want to know how to make it print wirelessly from my linux desktop.

I mannaged to gain access to the printer server by using the 'node name' of the ethernet wired print out (BRN008077CB867F = BRN + MAC-address in your case) as 'hostname' on my router/modem (DHCP-server) and assigned a static IP address. Now I could access the printer server with this IP, and the username and password provided in the printer manual. I assigned an other static IP for the wireless part, and used this IP in CUPS (localhost:631) Device = LPD/LPR host or printer Device URl= lpd://ip-adress/binaryp1 see; solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/cupsnetwork.html On wireless you can access the printer server with the wireless-IP now I hope this will be of use for you.
