I own a Brother DCP-7080D printer and scanner device. It functions perfectly as a printer when using the brlaser drivers. Unfortunately, I encountered compatibility issues with the scanner functionality on my Raspberry Pi for the driver I downloaded from the Brother website is not compatible with the arm64 architecture of the Raspberry Pi.
So, is there a plan to release drivers for it?

Regarding scanner drivers for the DCP-7080D, I would say it's highly unlikely.

Issues:

  • The author of the brlaser doesn’t seam to have much time for the project at the moment.
  • Scanner and printer drivers are fundamentally different so it would be a totally different code base, and skill set needed to create said driver
