How To install your Brother MFC-240C in Feisty X64

The first step in installing your MFC-240C in Feisty 64-bit is to download the LPR driver and the cupswrapper driver. The LPR driver can be downloaded here.

and the cupswrapper driver can be downloaded here.

Make sure when you download the drivers that you download the drivers for Debian and not Redhat.

After you have downloaded the drivers you need to install them. Make sure that you install the LPR driver first before you install the cupswrapper driver. To install the LPR driver put this in the terminal. For anybody who doesn't know to open the terminal it can be found by going to Applications>Accessories>Terminal.

sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture mfc240clpr-1.0.0-9.i386.deb

and to install the cupswrapper

sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture mfc240ccupswrapper-1.0.0-9.i386.deb

After both of those install successfully open up firefox or whatever other browser you use and put this in.
http://localhost:631

If for some reason you get a error saying page not found than you need to start cups by putting this in the terminal

sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys start

Click on “Manage Printers” and confirm that the device name is listed there. If the device name is NOT listed there, click on "Add Printer" and install the driver following the on-screen instructions.

If you cannot print you need to install this file.

sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6

If you get this error

mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/spool/lpd/mfc240c': No such file or directory
chown: cannot access `/var/spool/lpd/mfc240c': No such file or directory
chgrp: cannot access `/var/spool/lpd/mfc240c': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access `/var/spool/lpd/mfc240c': No such file or directory

sudo mkdir /var/spool/lpd
sudo mkdir /var/spool/lpd/mfc240c
