Description:Brother MFC-5890CN
Location:here
Driver:Brother MFC-5890CN CUPS v1.1 (color)
Connection:ipp://192.168.10.110/ipp/print
Defaults:job-sheets=none, none
media=custom_206.38x292.45mm_206.38x292.45mm sides=one-sided
This is the latest attempt, I'm not convinced
Connection:ipp://192.168.10.110/ipp/print is correct the documentation
is very careful to avoid giving a clear example.
