Ok, lets see if we can help to get your MFC-7340 installed. It looks like you have completed step 4. Is that correct?
I assume you downloaded the correct Driver Install Tool for your device. You probably should have your printer powered on and connected.
For step 5, you need to have a terminal open in the directory/folder where you performed the step 4 'gunzip' operation.
Enter your password when it asks for it. After you enter it, you become root You will need root privileges to complete the next few steps.
Step5. Get superuser authorization with the "su" command or "sudo su" command.
Run this from command line...
You should have a hash or crunch (#) for your prompt now which indicates you have root privileges.
Step6. Run the tool:
Command: bash linux-brprinter-installer-*.*.*-* Brother machine name
e.g. bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.2-2 MFC-7340
Run this from command line...
Code:
bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.2-2 MFC-7340
Just follow the prompts; it will take a few minutes to run.
Step7. The driver installation will start. Follow the installation screen directions.
When you see the message "Will you specify the DeviceURI ?",
For USB Users: Choose N(No)
<-- This is for you
For Network Users: Choose Y(Yes) and DeviceURI number.
The install process may take some time. Please wait until it is complete.
Your MFC-7340 should be installed now.
If you still have root privileges, you need to terminate root privileges by You should probably print a test page just to be sure it works.
I have successfully completed network installation for a Brother MFC-7360N many times, but never for a one connected with USB cable,
