I seem to recall that two packages are required for a Brother DPC device, and one has to be installed before the other, or it won't work. I believe having CUPS installed would help. I have a Brother DPC-150C here. I could only get the printer function to work, and not the other functions. Sandy Glenn Stuart Morrissey wrote:
Hi all I am attempting to install a brother dpc- 115 multifunction printer to my newly ubuntu'd laptop. I have downloaded the debian package from brother: http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/lpr_drivers.html but when I attempted to install the package, I received the following error: glenn(a)glenn-asus:/brother$ sudo dpkg -i --force-all --force-architecture mfc210clpr-1.0.2-1.i386.deb Password: (Reading database ... 88020 files and directories currently installed.)

Do I need to install cups first? And am I downloading the correct driver? According to the brother website, the correct package was the one I downloaded, but I might be wrong about that.
Any help appreciated.
Glenn.
