    In Hardy the Brother printer drivers are in the repositories.

    Open Synaptic and search for "brother" and mark for install the boxes for "brother-cups-wrapper-extra" and "brother-lpr-drivers-extra" which are the drivers for your printer.Then Apply.

    This worked for my brother DCP120C printer.

    If you are running a previous version of Ubuntu then use this thread for Installing Brother Printers[

    This was exactly what I needed to read!!! Thanks Plucky for the tip about the Synaptic search for the ...cups wrapper.

    I have been struggling with getting my Brother MFC 5860CN printer connected for 2 days and this solved the issue within 3 minutes.

    Re: [SOLVED] Printer Driver Installation

    Hello,
    I've got a problem with installing my Brother DCP 120c. I'm a new user and have no experiences with using ubuntu. I read a lot on the internet and I followed the instructions on this page:

    http://eeewiki.de/index.php/Brother_...)_Installation

    but it is not working, I get this message in the terminal:

    sabrina@Filou:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release
    DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
    DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
    DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy

    Kann auf das Archiv nicht zugreifen: No such file or directory
    Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
    mfc210clpr-1.0.2-1.i386.deb


    I think the installation of the LPR driver is not correct, but I don't know what to do. I tried to remove this driver via synaptic but this is also not working, I got a message like:

    E: mfc210clpr: Unterprozess pre-removal script gab den Fehlerwert 127 zurück

    I hope than anyone can help me with this!
    Thanks a lot
    Sabrina

    Open a terminal and input
    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove mfc210clpr
    The Brother printer drivers are packaged in Synaptic,so all you have to do to install them is from a terminal
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install brother-lpr-drivers-extra
    sudo apt-get install brother-cups-wrapper-extra
    Then turn on printer and go to System > Administration > Printing and add new printer.If it doesn't see the printer,reboot and try again.


    For the scanner you have to install the .deb package from the brother website located here


    Good Luck

    I just realised that from this command,it didn't actually install anything as it did not find the file.So I don't know why you cannot install from synaptic.

    Perhaps try to repair apt-get with
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install -f
    sudo apt-get update
    and see what that gives you.

    If that doesn't work then try
    Code:
    sudo dpkg --configure -a
    If that works,then install the drivers using synaptic.

    Good Luck

    Re: [SOLVED] Printer Driver Installation

    Hey everybody,

    it's still the same problem. I installed all drivers (csh, LPR --> mfc210clpr-1.0.2-1.i386.deb), cupswrapper --> cupswrapperMFC210c-1.0.2-3.i386.deb) but its not printing (by the way, the scanner is fine).

    I tried to delete the drivers to install them again (because install one package on the other is also not working). But I can't remove the LPR driver. It says there is an error in the pre-removal script 127 (E: mfc210clpr: Unterprozess pre-removal script gab den Fehlerwert 127 zurück).

    How can I remove the damaged LPR driver? It's not working via the terminal, it's not working via synaptic...I don't know how to solve this.

    Anyone else an idea? Would be nice!

    Thanks a lot
    Saja
