I have contacted brother concerning updated drivers. Here is the solution they provided: bill@bill-GA-MA78GM-US2H:~/Desktop$ sudo bash linux-brprinter-installer-1.0.3-1 Brother DCP-7040
wget http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html You are going to install following packages. dcp1000lpr-1.1.2-1.i386.deb cupswrapperDCP1000-1.0.2-1.i386.deb OK? [y/N] ->y I will include the remainder of the output. What is important is that these are i386 drivers and will not install on amd64 systems. This is true for ubuntu natty, openSUSE, and Debian. All of which use the same underlying printer configuration code. I have contacted brother again and supplied the output of the install process. I will duplicate it below: Reading package lists...

This might get them to be more responsive. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/425172 Title: Add support of new printers -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
