This may be very specific all of a sudden, but I've been having a few problems installing my Brother MFC 215c printer on Linux.
To aid anyone that needs to know, this is how ya do it…
- Download the CUPS wrapper for the driver.
- Download the LPR printer driver.
- Simply double click LPR driver to install
- Install the wrapper using these commands:
- Hit Alt-F2 to get the run dialoug
- Type in " konsole –type=su "
- When asked, enter in root password.
- Change to the director of the downloaded rpm wrapper using the command " cd /home/andy/ " for example.
- " rpm -ihv -nodeps MFC210Clpr-1.0.2-1.i386.rpm "
- After that last command hit Alt-F2 again, type in 'Cups'
- Go to the 'Administration' tab at the top.
- Click 'Add this printer' next to the MFC 210C option.
You're done!
