@bernd_007 I do not own this printer anymore, so I can't test your changes. I only adopted this so that it is not orphaned and forgot to orphan it when I changed my printer. If you want to, I can add you as a co-maintainer and then disown the package so that you can manage it yourself

After a lot of desperate days i figured out what i needed to update.

mfcj625dwlpr-3.0.1-1.i386.deb has a shell script /opt/brother/Printers/mfcj625dw/lpd/filtermfcj625dw that uses a2ps and pdf2ps (ghostscript)

depends=('bash' 'a2ps' 'ghostscript')

I think the old sources are still good.

source=("https://download.brother.com/welcome/dlf006608/mfc${_model}cupswrapper-${pkgver}.0-${_revision}.i386.deb"
   "https://download.brother.com/welcome/dlf006606/mfc${_model}lpr-${pkgver}.1-${_revision}.i386.deb")

use systemd instead of init.d

    #perl -i -pe 's#/etc/init.d#/etc/rc.d#g' ./cupswrapper/cupswrappermfc${_model} || return 1
    sed -ie 's/^#\s*\/etc\/init.d\/cups restart/systemctl restart cups/g' ./cupswrapper/cupswrappermfc${_model} || return 1
    sed -ie 's/^sleep 2s/systemctl restart cups\n sleep 2s/g' ./cupswrapper/cupswrappermfc${_model} || return 1

I had an old CUPS Server for years now. I could not use this Printer without that old Server.

Thank you dno and lgm for the great work!

Ok, seems like there's not much interest in this. I'm disowning. Thanks for helping with this over the years.

My MFC-J625DW finally broke down (after 8 years!) and I replaced it with an MFC-J895DW. If any of you J625 owners would like to take this over, that would be great. But I can no longer test builds without the hardware.
