Hello everyone.... I am new to this game of Ubuntu.. greet OS.... I have been trying to set up my Brother 5370dw in the network. It recognized easily with the usb, but I sure would like to set it up with my network. I have tried to have it find the networked printer to no avail, and I do not know how one can "force" it to be recognized. Any help would be appreciated.....Thank you

This website (http://www.squidoo.com/brother-wireless-laser-network-printer-HL-5370DW-install-and-review) directed me to the Brothers Solutions website and I found this driver install page: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html#HL-5370DW

Potentially these could be of some use to you.

Chessnerd:
I first of all want to thank you for your reply. After trying feverishly to get this networked, it finally worked. At first I did not get any satisfaction, I tried many other "solutions",and failing, I went back to your suggestion, and it is finally networked!!!!!! Now all I have to do is to get it working on the wife's computer.
Thank you very much!
Dave
