Hi William, I'm not certain as to what you mean by: > I assume that when I installed the latest Ubuntu, the printer driver was > saved and lurks somewhere in the machine. Was this a clean install or updating by changing the repos? If you haven't already, I'd suggest checking out what's available in the printer options. If you can't find one which suits I had a quick look at the Brother site for your printer - HL-5340D: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html#HL-5340D If you can't find the driver in the options provided for printers I'd suggest downloading and installing the driver from here.
