Install Brother MFC-J480DW on Ubuntu
Raw
install_mfc-j480dw.md

Download the two .deb packages from Brother's website:

  • mfcj480dwlpr-1.0.0-0.i386.deb
  • mfcj480dwcupswrapper-1.0.0-0.i386.deb

Install them both at the same time: sudo apt install mfcj*.deb

Add a new printer using the GUI and enter the IPP URI manually like: ipp://<ip>:631/ipp

In the Printer Settings -> Printer Options change Media Size to Letter (unless you're using A4 of course).

It should now work.
