Hi, Thanks a lot again for your help and efforts to make Brother help to fix this bug and provide better drivers for Linux and Openprinting foundation.
I hope it will be positive and they will answer to your invitation, have an active participation, but if not we would have done our best to try... I also sent them a message on the contact page you gave me, here is a copy : "Dear Sir, I'm a french Linux user (I write here because brother.fr has no specific linux support) who use at home a Brother Scan / Printer DCP-7030. I'm very satisfied of it and it works very well on Linux Ubuntu, but driver configuration isn't easy. I made this bug report on Ubuntu Launchpad : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/701856 All details are here, well explained, and a responsible for Open Printing also contacted you at this purpose. Please, as Brother still makes a lots of efforts to provide Linux drivers, and thanks for that (on contrary to other printer companies), that was one of the reason I choosed a Brother printer, would it be possible that you update the linux drivers in the way they become compatible to Open Printing and Linux distributions standards ? Because today I want to buy a new color laser printer & scanner for home, and at work (where 2/3 of computers run on Ubuntu, too) we need a multi-function fax-printer-scanner, but if it remains so difficult and unpleasant to configure Brother printers in Ubuntu, perhaps I'll see with HP, which provides integrated drivers : http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HpAllInOne http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting Thanks in advance for your answer.
