    Post Fresh install Ubuntu Mate 22.04 and no printers...

    Hello all
    Fresh install Ubuntu Mate and I have no printers to use. A URI is asked for. URI? I have a Brother HL-L2300D that is USB wired. Could someone please tell me how to install the drivers or? to get them to work.
    I'm old and slow so please be tolerant. I'm a wanna be geek. LOL

    Thanks

    Driver download at the Brother website at the link below. Have you tried that?

    Are you saying that you do not have a printer?

    The operating system uses IP addresses (URLs) to connect to things like printers and modem as if it is connecting to machines on a network. All the equipment is networked together. IP addresses are used to connect our computers into a network to access this forum.

    The printer manual should give you the IP address (URL) or there may be a sticker on the printer giving the IP address.

    The printer is connected by USB. Linux comes with USB drivers as standard.

    I have Brother printer and have not needed to install any drivers. It just works.
    But it seems to install several printers & only one works with 24.04. Test install of 24.10 only showed the one printer that does work.

    What does these show?
    lpstat -t
    driverless

    Does this have a long list of details?

    old fred

    I'm really getting confused with trying to read and answer all the different people. I did get some drivers, I think. See image[IMG]/home/ralph/Pictures/2024-11-12_18-35.png[/IMG]

    Thanks
