Forge Integrations¶
Home Assistant (Brother integration)¶
Add via UI: Settings → Devices & services → Add integration → Brother (printer). Enter host 192.168.86.236, leave SNMP community public. Exposes toner/drum/paper-tray sensors, page counters, status. Reference: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/brother/.
Printing from forge hosts (optional CUPS)¶
Not configured by default. If wanted later:
sudo apt install cups
sudo lpadmin -p brother-mfc -E -v ipp://192.168.86.236:631/ipp/print -m everywhere
lp -d brother-mfc somefile.pdf
Scan-to-share (already supported by the printer)¶
The MFC-L2750DW supports SMB scan-to-folder. Target candidate: a scan-inbox/ share on Finn under /mnt/workspace/Personal/Scans/. Not wired yet — open task if Justin wants it.
Don't¶
- Don't change SNMP community from
publicwithout updating any HA config that depends on it. - Don't expose the web UI through Cloudflare tunnel; printer has no real auth and exposes scan jobs + address book. Keep it LAN-only.
- Don't reset to factory defaults without exporting the address book first (
Settings → Address Book → Exportin web UI).
Status¶
2026-05-20: Discovered, documented. HA Brother integration not yet added (manual UI step for Justin). No CUPS server configured.
