I'm having difficulty printing wirelessly on an all-in-one Brother MFC-J1010DW printer. Before downloading any drivers, I created a static IP address in my router's administrative console, just for the wireless printer. I was, then, able to successfully connect the printer to my Wi-Fi network using the static IP address that I created.
I, then, went on the
support page for the MFC-J1010DW printer and made sure to click on "Linux" and, then, "deb". After that, I was redirected to a new page where I'm given the opportunity to download a bunch of drivers. Not being sure which driver to download, I downloaded the "Driver Install Tool" under "Utilities". I, then, followed the instructions by typing into a terminal:
Code:
cd Downloads
gunzip linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1.gz
sudo bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1
It, then, asked me to specify the model of the printer, so I typed:
It, then, asked me to specify the URI of the printer, so I first typed:
to specify that I wanted to enter an IP address.
Lastly, I proceeded to enter the printer's static IP address without the "https://" part.
The terminal then downloaded a bunch of packages, yet, for some reason, I still can't print anything wirelessly.
What am I doing wrong?
