Brother HL-L3230CDW

Installation​

In your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix, apply the following configuration:

{
  services = {
      printing = {
        enable = true;
        drivers = [ pkgs.gutenprint ];
      };
      avahi = {
        enable = true;
        nssmdns4 = true;
        openFirewall = true;
      };
  }
}
