Thread: Installing Brother printer in Ubuntu 9.10
this isn't support request, seems working, i'm posting others!
printer brother dcp-330c, wasn't autodetected after 9.10 install morning, started looking @ it...
turned out simple. brother have pretty support on site @ http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/index.html
summarised here:
1) run 'sudo aa-complain cupsd'
2) run 'sudo mkdir /usr/share/cups/model'
3) page - http://solutions.brother.com/linux/e...nload_prn.html
.. find particular model , download *.deb files (should 2)
4) go folder , run 'sudo dpkg -i --force-all *'
verify worked:
1) run 'dpkg -l | grep brother'
mine gave output:
ii dcp330ccupswrapper 1.0.1-1 brother cups inkjet printer definitions
ii dcp330clpr 1.0.1-1 brother lpr inkjet printer definitions
2) check contents of '/etc/printcap'
mine was:
dcp330c:\
:mx=0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/dcp330c:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/usb/lp0:\
:if=/usr/local/brother/printer/dcp330c/lpd/filterdcp330c:
3) check cups web interface at:
http://localhost:631/printers
haven't tested beyond test page, , haven't set scanning yet, that's day!
feel free use thread additional support first time i've set printer in linux (in 10+ years of on-and-off use) may not use!
worked charm! mate.
