Hi,hope this old thread..is still active...
I actually had the brother printer working on 9.10 but after updating, it stoped working ! Sill using 9.10server, as 10.14 just crashed everything.
Followed the instruction and got errors on lpd install.:
sudo dpkg -i --force-all mfc9660lpr-1.1.2-1.i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package mfc9660lpr.
(Reading database ... 176430 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking mfc9660lpr (from mfc9660lpr-1.1.2-1.i386.deb) ...
Setting up mfc9660lpr (1.1.2-1) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mfc9660lpr.postinst: 4: /etc/init.d/lpd: not found
dpkg: error processing mfc9660lpr (--install):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
mfc9660lpr
The printers shows in the Printer manager & in http://localhost:631/printers/
But does not print a test page .. (yes the printer is on)
Ubuntu Printer Manage Print Jobs : the job just sitts in the cue ,
This is strange since , It was working before update.
ALSO, Synaptic Package Manager now CRASHES and is BROKEN with error:
E: The package mfc9660lpr needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.

OK, since I know the printer is on 192.168.1.10, in "Change Device URI> Network Printer > Find Printer>
If I search for the printer and, instead of the port found automatically ,
I select "lpd://192.168.1.10/lp" or "lpd://192.168.1.10/PASSTHRU" or "dnssd://1P_PrintServC7767C._printer._tcp.local/" the printer seems to work.

Now to the scanner,
MY scanner/printer MFC-9600 is on a network Printer server at 192.168.1.10Step 4:
Confirm you need to continue on with the following steps, I believe it is only Gutsy that has problems. Simply open Xsane, choose you scanner and click OK. If you get an I/O-Error you will need to continue onto Step 5, if it's all working you're done!
Step 5:
Give yourself permission to use it! At time of release it's a Gutsy Quirk/Bug... First we need to find out the Vendor ID & Product ID for our scanner or printer/scanner combo. For anyone using the DCP-115C printer/scanner ignore this step as your ID's are the same as mine; Vendor ID: 04f9 Product ID: 018c.
Any other model type the following in Terminal:
Code:
lsusb
Can this be set up to com w scanner? clearly the above steps wont work .
Cheers
I am completely baffled. My PC has 2 drives both running maverick. On the secondary
drive I have got the scanner working by creting a file in 45-libane.rules that only contains
# Brother scanners
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
The exact same does not work on the primary drive. Any suggetions?
thanks, this was very usefull
I have tried many of the "HOWTO Install Brother 115c printer", but only one has worked for me. And I haven't fount it in this forum.
So here it comes....
After running the code, just add new printer and you will now see MFC-210c ( driver for DCP-115C)Code:sudo aptitude install brother-lpr-drivers-extra brother-cups-wrapper-extra
Very simple and is't work!! ( for mine DCP-115C )
I fount on linuxin.dk http://www.linuxin.dk/node/15041#comment-39315
Sorry my English is not so good.
Just wanted to say thanks! This helped me get my 440cn printer up and running great!

Phone: Samsung Nexus Galaxy (verizon)
I've got the printer going on my MFC-440CN, but the scanner is defying me:
There was no file "/etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules" already in existence, so I created one and edited it to read as follows
and restarted, but while SimpleScan doesn't say it can't *find* a scanner, when I scan, it says "failed to connect to scanner." XSane tells me "Failed to open device 'brother2:bus4;dev1." Any ideas what's up?# Brother mfc-440cn
SYSFS{idVendor}=="04f9", SYSFS{idProduct}=="01af", MODE="664", GROUP="scanner"
LABEL="libsane_rules_end"
Thanks!
Here's a koan for you: "I feel more like I did when I first got here than I do now."
