Sorryfor my poor English but it has already been several months, trying to deal with this specific driver issue in Arch Linux. I got driverless printing working but I need some of the custom paper sizes which the native driver supports. I have tried using the brother-dcp-t710w-lpr-bin from the AUR but CUPS couldn't open the PPD Files (as shown in the logs below)
I've also tried to create my own AUR package using debtap as well as the Brother Packaging guide but, it still wouldn't work as well as installing the necessary 32-bit libraries. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Ink Tank printers are fairly popular in the market due to their low print cost and high page yield. Another essential feature of an ink tank printer is the big ink tank, which can yield anywhere between 5000-8000 pages in one refill.

The printer packs a lot of features and is one of the best offering Brothers in this price range. However, there are still a few things that can be improved in the printer to make it a preferred choice in this category. The major flaw in this printer is the print quality. It seems that the print quality of this printer is just moderate. Under this price range, you can find many other printers that are given a much better quality print.
Secondly, the printer seems to be a bit noisy. When working with the printer, it can be a little loud for people sitting near it. Apart from these, there are no major flaws in the printer.
Brother DCP-710W is a well-built ink tank printer that provides moderate-quality prints and lots of features under this price range. If you are looking for a printer that offers a bit of everything, then this is the one to get. However, if your priority is high-quality print images, you should look for more options under this price range. The printers appear to strike a balance between all the features, making it best for home and office use.
I think in the T710W and 510W comparison field above, you have interchanged the ADF fields.. its marked Not Available under T710 and Available under T510W. Also does 710w offer Automatic duplex printing?
Regarding your question, T710W has no automatic duplex printing; it only has manual duplex option. Cheapest all in one duplex printer is Epson L4160 (Normally the price is around 18k but due to the high demand now its 25k).
Thanks for the quick response, John. Definitely not the ideal time to pick remote work easing computer peripherals.. :) Some of the microphones I was tracking are all out of stock or double the cost now. Same with the printers. Thanks for maintaining this great source about printers for helping the Indian consumers decide.
If only based purely on printer specifications to consider, HP is more attractive as better printing quality with waterproof black ink which benefit to prevent fade when using highlight pen on my kids study notes. Also the HP mobile app is more user family for my kid. But there are some customers review to point that paper to be jammed easily.
I am not an expert in sticker printing, but I have seen people using regular Epson ink tank printers for sticker/label printing. If the GSM of the sticker sheets is less than 180 GSM, you should go with Epson printers; if you have higher thickness sheets, you may choose Brother DCP-T510W or HP 415 printers.
Hi John, I am in the market looking for Ink Tank all-in-ones. I have read your reviews on all models and it is very informative.

Features / functionality across all the 4 models are almost similar.
Thanks John for your recommendation on HP 530. Very much appreciated. HP dealers have run out of stock for this model in Chennai. What would be your order of priority amongst the 4 brands / models given that HP is not available. Is a always on Direct wi-fi connection from a laptop an issue with these models that results in connectivity loss using wifi direct with the need to reconfigure on a regular basis.
