Boris,

Looks like CUPS supports that ok. See:

for Brother DCP 750CW

Try the instructions on:

How to Install Printer Drivers on Linux

If CUPs doesn't auto-detect for you (you must have your printer powered
and connected!)


If you can follow the instructions to get your printer talking to your
WiFi, so that then again it should be automatically found... If not, the
manual way is:

https://www.cups.org/doc/network.html


There's also these from Brother to get you connected:

RPM package download:

Or deb package download:

Good luck?...

Cheers,
Martin
