I have exactly the same problem under 32 bit Ubuntu with the exact same printer. #11 solved it for me.
It's a great printer, and it works quite well under Ubuntu. Please add support for it. Installing the printer in this way is a hassle! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/873548 Title: Brother MFC 7440N printer is detected but will not print Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Printer is connected via USB Ubuntu correctly identifies the printer as Brother MFC 7440N Printing from any application to the printer results in no output from the print device, its as if the print device never even receives the job Printer is attached via USB I have attached an error_log file (not sure if it will help) Links to Brother Linux CUPS drivers and source code (not sure if this will help) http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/index.html http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_src.html#srccd_p1 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: cups 1.5.0-8 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Oct 13 13:51:56 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427.1) Lpstat: device for HP-Color-LaserJet-2800: hp:/net/HP_Color_LaserJet_2840?zc=HYPNOS device for MFC-7440N: usb://Brother/MFC-7440N?serial=000H9N374735 MachineType: Dell Inc.
