[cups] Brother MFC-5890CN not found

[mick howe]

I got sick of the confusion of having some devices showing up on the
wavlink wifi extender/hub (192.168.10.xxx) and others showing up on the NTU
(192.168.20.xxx) so I got a 20 metre Cat 6 cable and ran it from the NTU to
a simple hub. Now all devices (2 i7 desktops running Archlinux, i5 laptop -
Arch, Brother MFC-5890CN printer)
you can see your printer in the browser (http[s]://192.168.10.110)? no -
times out after about 1 minute
I would try "socket://192.168.10.110:9100" as DeviceURI (JetDirect),
formerly hp only but now it's used by a lot of printers... nmap indicates
port 9100 is available - changed configuration to use socket.
Printed test page successfully
https://download.brother.com/welcome/doc002358/cv_mfc6490w_ger_net_c.pdf
which seems to be valid for mostly all newer brother mfc's says there is
port 9100 on the device...
Couldn't find English version of page, I failed high school German in 1969.
many thanks
