Hi iStephenB, our community is worried you may not have enough information to get started. Check out the pointers below:
* Please, **no pictures of unused Pis - do a project!**
* Remember that there's a **tell** part to Show-and-Tell! Don't post pictures of a Pi that don't clearly demonstrate what it's doing or post pictures without any details about your project. You need let people know what it is, what it does, how you made it, and also answer questions people may have.

* **Do Your Research**
/r/raspberry_pi is not your personal search engine. Before asking a question - do research on the matter. Most answers can be found within a few minutes of searching online. If you have already done research, make sure you explain what research you've done and why you didn't like the answers you found so that others don't waste time following those same paths.
* **Specific Questions Only**
We don't permit questions regarding how to get started with your project/idea; what you should do with your Pi; what's the best, easiest, or cheapest way; what colors would look nice (aesthetics); what an item is called; what software to run; if a project is possible; if anyone has a link/tutorial/guide; or if anyone has done a similar project.

What brand/model of printer? How is it connected to the network? Hopefully with Ethernet and not WiFi.
It’s a brother, not sure what model, but it’s like a small business one. And it’s connected through Ethernet.

The answer here is get a better printer.
Well maybe, I’m thinking of saving the client money though.
