    Re: HOWTO: Install Brother MFC210C

    What happens if you DON'T turn off the printer? I went through this entire process and my printer seems to be correctly installed and identified by the system, but the printer doesn't respond to print jobs sent. And XSane sees the machine at startup, but not after launch.

    Please note:

    This thread is abandoned. The instructions clearly say so.

    At the time this thread was created, I was using Ubuntu GNU/Linux 5.10. It was updated and enhanced with the help of many thoughtful users. However, many of the warnings originally put in the tutorial may now be pointless. The problem is: I cannot verify the procedure any more.

    However, my MFC210c died a horrible death. Since then I've used an MFC240c on my MacBook Pro. My PC currently uses Ubuntu 8.10 - without a printer.

    Re: HOWTO: Install Brother MFC210C

    I'm sorry but this is one of the reasons i'm not an avid Linux user. i thought id experiment with it and see if i could use it for a simple task - to run a usb printer for use on a network. even that it can't do with a stupid amount of messing about.

    I followed this tutorial EXACTLY even copying and pasting the codes.
    right now i cant install the printer because it cant find the driver.

    any help. before i give in?

    thankyou
    Billy

    Re: HOWTO: Install Brother MFC210C

    I have a brother mfc 4420c that was given to me free as it does not do pictures very well. I know brother has not made a driver for it as of yet but i was wondering if someone has tried the other brother Linux drivers. I would really like to get this printer working as it is the only printer i have atm and i cannot afford another. (Yes even a cheap one don't ask)

    Re: HOWTO: Install Brother MFC210C

    AGAIN: This thread was created when I started with Ubunut in 2005. Since starting it my printer is now dead no longer used, so I can't keep up with what it needs.

    Please note:

    I've installed Ubuntu Linux Karmic Koala on someone's PC and found that the repositories had a much better set up with Brother Printers.

    I believe many of the Bother Printer problems are resolved now.

    If you encounter an issue, post it here so that others might know what you've encountered.
