Summary: Cannot add Brother printer over network: Configuration
completes, but no printer is added
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.25.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
I am trying to add a Brother MFC-L2750DW over the network, which had previously
worked, but since a recent update, jobs were failing, and after reinstalling
Neon from an up-to-date ISO, I now cannot add the printer at all. I have tried
manually adding it with lpadmin, upon which it got added with a raw printer
driver, but attempting to change the driver to the correct one from
systemsettings resulted in an error: "Invalid argument."
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a Brother MFC-L2750DW on the same network as the KDE Neon system (not
connected via USB).
2. Attempt to add the printer via System Settings -> Printers.
OBSERVED RESULT
The printer will be discovered, and the correct driver selected, but upon
clicking "Finish," no printer is added.
EXPECTED RESULT
The printer is added and is usable.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: No
macOS: No
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon 5.25 user edition
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0
Qt Version: 5.15.6
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The official Brother driver packages resulted in a printer being added, but
when i tried to print, it's status changed to: Idle - "Unable to locate
printer."
