Thanks Scott. We just finished rebuilding the 64bit system with a 32bit OS (due to other reasons). Good to know that resource is available though, and I'm glad it is in the archive now with the right keywords. On 12-01-13 06:44 PM, Scott wrote: Shawnsgroverat open2space.com writes: And

Just a follow up on this, as I have some more recent info that may prove useful. I have rebuilt my workstation with the latest Kubuntu (11.10) and needed to install the printer again. I used the same .deb files I had already downloaded from Brother's website (URL mentioned earlier in this

This is not more than thinking out loud, but I seem to have seen significant reference handling of sane and multi function devices as I was doing an aptitude dist-upgrade on my netbook (from amd64 squeeze to wheezy) I wonder if it would be worth while plying with some spare hardware? I am tied
