I recently tested Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Beta 2 and, using the Brother- supplied drivers recommended when adding my Brother MFC-8840DN, printing went flawlessly, 1st time and each time after the initial install. I allowed Update Manager to do the extensive list of updates available and 10.04 B2 continued to print correctly, as in No Error on first print cycle or any other, a short-to-typical print time, and had output that was appropriate in all ways (margins good, graphic quality good, text sharp, decent print speed, double-sided supported, MP tray control).
Simply put, the old issues that have been with Ubuntu from at least 8.04 through 9.10 appear to be of historical interest only with the release of 10.04 (B2). I'll be d/l'ing the actual LTS and putting it into service on my recently acquired office PC. Many thanks (!!!) to all who helped update the implementation of the Brother Drivers in 10.04. I will report on my findings with 10.04 after it's 4/29/10 release. I don't expect any difference from what I've seen though since the major updating post-install included updates to CUPS and there was no issue after that. -- Brother MFC8840D errors on 1st print job https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306401 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
