    Can't set up Brother HL-2270DW under 11.04

    I have a Brother HL-2270DW that I managed to get working in 10.10. Today I installed 11.04, but when I try to set up the printer by following the instructions on the Brother website, I get the following error:
    Code:
    sudo dpkg  -i  --force-all "hl2270dwlpr-2.1.0-1.i386.deb"
    [sudo] password for xxxxxx:
    dpkg: warning: overriding problem because --force enabled:

    What should I do?

    Re: Can't set up Brother HL-2270DW under 11.04

    looks like you're trying to install a 32-bit driver in a 64-bit system. Plus, the dependency is not resolved.

    Typically, to get apt to auto-resolve a dependency, i run

    sudo apt-get -f install

    and if the dependency is in the repositories, it will install then proceed with correcting the package you;re trying to install. although i'm not sure if you will get that driver to install unless they have a 64-bit version.

    Have you followed the instructions in www.brother.com? They have specific instructions for Ubuntu, maybe not for 11.04 but they should also work for this version.

    Re: Can't set up Brother HL-2270DW under 11.04

    Thank you, mykrob. After doing
    Code:
    sudo apt-get -f install
    I did
    Code:
    tablet$ dpkg  -l  |  grep  Brother
    iU  cupswrapperhl2270dw:i386   2.0.4-2 Brother HL2270DW CUPS wrapper driver
    iU  hl2270dwlpr:i386           2.1.0-1 Brother HL-2270DW LPR driver
    However, I still don't see the printer in CUPS or using system --> administration --> printing.

    wgarcia: the commands and files used in my original post were from http://welcome.solutions.brother.com...html#HL-2270DW These are the instructions that worked for me under 10.10, but now I still get the errors of my original post, even when I run those commands again after "sudo apt-get -f install"

    I have this same prob. I did the upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 yesterday. Now trying to install 32-bit drivers couple of Brother printers. Procedure that worked in 10.10 now produces the same err above in this thread. apt-get -f install doesn't list anything.
    Thanks

    I gave up and re-installed 10.10. Now I can use my printer again.

    Bump.

    Kubuntu 11.04 64-bit.

    Same behavior as shown above. Lists dependency on libc6 >=2.3.4-1.

    Installed the same driver on an i386 Kubuntu 11.04 yesterday without a problem, although the same version of libc6 (2.13-ubuntu13) is installed on both machines.

    Somebody please help, need to keep my wife's illusion that Linux is as easy as anything else

    There are instructions to remove the dependency on the following bug entry:

    You can try this website for assistance: http://islandlinux.org/es/howto/upgr...printer-cupsys

    I have a Brother HL-2140, that the printing ability was broken when upgrading from Maverick to Natty. My situation is different, I'm using the CUPS drivers and not a Brother proprietary driver, however, I can't see my printer from a Windows 7 desktop where the printer is shared.

    Re: Can't set up Brother HL-2270DW under 11.04

    Got mine working in 11.04 after Brother tech support emailed me the following link:

    http://welcome.solutions.brother.com...rn.html#f00090

    FYI, two things:
    1) After clicking the download link on that page you'll end up on the license acceptance. After pressing accept, it may dump the contents of the script into the page instead of downloading it to a file. If that's the case, highlight and copy all the text and save it to a file. Then chmod 777 and run under sudo (e.g. sudo ./brinst).

    2) While the script is running there are long pauses, almost like its hung. Just let it sit during this time and it will eventually finish.

    So far everything seems to be working well. HTH.
